Answer:
2/0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the polynomial, factorize it.
2x³-11x²+18x-8=0
After factorizing:
(x-2)(2x^2 - 7x +4) = 0
now, solve each bracket one by one:
x-2 = 0
x = 2
Then
2x^2 - 7x + 4 = 0
use quadratic formula t get 0.74
Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is the time,
and T is the half life.
A = 140 when t = 10. Solve for the half life:
140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)
0.2 = ½^(10 / T)
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31
When A = 40, t is:
40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)
0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.
I believe it’s 900. Yeah, I think the answer is 900.
