A 45 gram sample of a substance that’s used to preserve fruit and vegetables has a K-value of 0.1085

Answer:

6.3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula is

N(t) = N₀ exp(-kt)

where

N₀ = 45 g, original mass

N(t) = mass after time t, days

k = 0.1109, the decay constant.

At half life, N(t) = (1/2)*N₀. Therefore

1/2 = exp(-0.1109t)

Take natural log of each side.

ln(0.5) = -0.1109t

t = ln(0.5)/(-0.1109) = 6.25 days

Answer: 6.3 days (nearest tenth)

Ashley adds Polynomial A and B together:
icang [17]

Answer:

coefficient of x: 2

coefficient of y: 3

coefficient of z: -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first we need to sum the polynomials A and B, then we need to check the coefficients of x, y and z.

The sum of the polynomials is:

A + B = 5z + 4x^2 - 6y + 2 + 2x + 9y - 12z - 2

A + B = 4x^2 + 2x + 3y - 7z

So, the coefficients are:

coefficient of x^2: 4

coefficient of x: 2

coefficient of y: 3

coefficient of z: -7

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the polynomial in s
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

As complex roots exist in conjugate pairs the other zero is -1 - 2i.

So in factor form we have the polynomial function:

(x - 5)(x + 3)(x - (-1 + 2i))(x - (-1 - 2i)

= (x - 5)(x + 3)( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i)

The first 2 factors  = x^2 - 2x - 15 and

( x + 1 - 2i)(x +1 + 2i) = x^2 + x + 2ix + x + 1 + 2i - 2ix - 2i - 4 i^2

=  x^2 + 2x + 1 + 4

= x^2 + 2x + 5.

So in standard form we have:

(x^2 - 2x - 15 )(x^2 + 2x + 5)

= x^4  + 2x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 10x - 15x^2 - 30x - 75

= x^4 - 14x^2 - 40x - 75.

Using the formula for volume of a cone, express r in terms of V, h and pi
DiKsa [7]

The volume of the cone is one-third of the volume of the cylinder which is equal to the product of area of the base and the height. The equation is,

<span>    V = (1/3)(pi)(r^2)h          </span>

Dividing both sides of the equation by (1/3)(pi)(h) will give us,

<span>  3V/(pi)(h) = r^2</span>

Taking the square-root of both sides,

<span>  r = sqrt(3V/(pi)(h))</span>
