Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 13 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 520 grams, write a function showing the mass of the sample remaining after tt years, where the annual decay rate can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage rate of decay per year, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage rate of decay per year is of 5.19%.

The function  showing the mass of the sample remaining after t is [tex]A(t) = 520(0.9481)^t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation of decay:

The exponential equation for the amount of a substance is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Every 13 years, its mass decreases by half.

This means that [tex]A(13) = 0.5A(0)[/tex]. We use this to find r. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{13}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{13} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[13]{(1-r)^{13}} = \sqrt[13]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = (0.5)^\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9481[/tex]

[tex]r = 1 - 0.9481[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.0519[/tex]

The percentage rate of decay per year is of 5.19%.

The initial mass of a sample of Element X is 520 grams

This means that [tex]A(0) = 520[/tex]. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 520(1-0.0519)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 520(0.9481)^t[/tex]

The function  showing the mass of the sample remaining after t is [tex]A(t) = 520(0.9481)^t[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

500 + (40x)

Step-by-step explanation:

she already has 500 in her bank account and there are multiple weeks. 40 dollars per week would be 40x since we don’t know how many weeks. then put it in an equation!

Answer:500 + 40w = m

Step-by-step explanation:

500 is the amount you had already then you add 40 per a week so you times that by w depending on the weeks and m is money overall.

Mr Baxter deposits 2,000 in an account that earns %5 simple interest how much is mr Baxter investment after 8 years?

Answers

Answer:

$2,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I is the interest (earned or paid), P is the principal amount invested/borrowed, R is the rate in decimal form, and T is the time in years.

I = (2000)(0.05)(8)

I = $800

Then we add that to the principal to get $2,800

Answer:

x = 63.43...

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the angle x is the same measure as the bottom right angle of the triangle because the bottom of the triangle and the dashed line are parallel. Knowing this we can simply solve for the bottom right angle and it will be the same as angle x.

To do this we can set up and equation with tangent because we are working with the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle.

[tex]Tan(x) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{50}{25} = 2[/tex]

[tex]Tan(x)=2\\[/tex]

Now to isolate the variable, we can simply use the cotangent or inverse tangent.

[tex]Tan^{-1}(Tan(x)) = Tan^{-1}(2)\\x = Tan^{-1}(2)\\x = 63.43...[/tex]

Answer:

  √29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the given points A(3, 4) and B(-2, 6).

The right triangle with segment AB as a hypotenuse can best be drawn along grid lines. Then the vertical leg is the difference of y-coordinates: 6-4 = 2, and the horizontal leg is the difference of x-coordinates: 3 -(-2) = 5.

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs.

  AB² = 2² + 5²

  AB² = 4 + 25 = 29

Taking the square root, we find the length of the line segment between the points to be ...

  AB = √29
