A sample of radioactive material disintegrates from 6 to 4 grams in 100 days. After how many days will just 3 grams remain?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

150 days

Step-by-step explanation:

6-4=2

100/2=50

50*3=150

Answer 2

The number of days for the radioactive material to disintegrate to 3 grams is 173.077 days.

The rate of disintegration varies directly proportional to the quantity of the material.

As such, we can say:

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{dN}{dt}\ \alpha \ N}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\implies \dfrac{dN}{N}\ = k dt}[/tex]

Taking the integral form;

[tex]\mathbf{\implies \int \dfrac{dN}{N}\ =\int k dt}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\implies In N =kt+ C---- (1)}[/tex]

When t = 0, N = 6 grams

In(6) = C

When t = 100, N = 4 grams

In (4) = 100k + In6

100 k = 1n (4) - In(6)

[tex]\mathbf{100 k = In (\dfrac{4}{6})}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{k = \dfrac{1}{100} In(\dfrac{4}{6})}[/tex]

From equation (1):

[tex]\mathbf{In N = \dfrac{t}{100} In(\dfrac{4}{6})+ In 6}[/tex]

when,

n = 3 grams; we have:

[tex]\mathbf{In (3) = \dfrac{t}{100} In(\dfrac{4}{6})+ In 6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\implies \dfrac{t}{100} In(\dfrac{4}{6}) = In \dfrac{ 3}{ 6}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = 100\times \Big ( \dfrac{In (\dfrac{ 3}{ 6})}{ In(\dfrac{4}{6}) }\Big) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = 100\times \Big ( \dfrac{0.69314}{ 0.40048}\Big) }[/tex]

t = 173.077 days

Therefore, the number of days for the radioactive material to disintegrate to 3 grams is 173.077 days.

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = 6x3 − 9x2 − 216x + 3, [−4, 5]

Answers

Answer:

absolute minimum = -749 and

absolute maximum = 467

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the absolute maximum and minimum of the function, the following steps must be followed.

First, we need to find the values of the function at the given interval [-4, 5].

Given the function f(x) = 6x³ − 9x² − 216x + 3

at x = -4;

f(-4) = 6(-4)³ − 9(-4)² − 216(-4) + 3

f(-4) = 6(-64) - 9(16)+864+3

f(-4) = -256- 144+864+3

f(-4) = 467

at x = 5;

f(5) = 6(5)³ − 9(5)² − 216(5) + 3

f(5) = 6(125) - 9(25)-1080+3

f(5) = 750- 225-1080+3

f(5) = -552

Then we will get the values of the function at the crirical points.

The critical points are the value of x when df/dx = 0

df/dx = 18x²-18x-216 = 0

18x²-18x-216 = 0

Dividing through by 18 will give;

x²-x-12 = 0

On factorizing the resulting quadratic equation;

(x²-4x)+(3x-12) = 0

x(x-4)+3(x-4) = 0

(x+3)(x-4) = 0

x+3 = 0 and x-4 = 0

x = -3 and x = 4 (critical points)

at x  = -3;

f(-3) = 6(-3)³ − 9(-3)² − 216(-3) + 3

f(-3) = 6(-27) - 9(9)+648+3

f(-3) = -162-81+648+3

f(-3) = 408

at x = 4

f(4) = 6(4)³ − 9(4)² − 216(4) + 3

f(4) = 6(64) - 9(16)-864+3

f(4) = 256- 144-864+3

f(4) = -749

Based on the values gotten, it can be seen that the absolute minimum and maximum are -749 and 467 respectively

The amount of​ carbon-14 present in a paint after t years is given by y equals y Subscript o Baseline e Superscript negative 0.00012 t Baseline . The paint contains 27​% of its​ carbon-14. How old are the​ paintings?

Answers

Answer:

The painting is [tex]t = 10911.1 \ years \ old[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The amount of carbon present after t year is

           [tex]y(t) = y_o * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]    {Note ; This is the function }

Here  [tex]y(t)[/tex] is the amount of carbon-14 after time t

        [tex]y_o[/tex] the original amount of carbon-14

Now given that the paint as at now contain 27% of the original carbon-14

  Then it mean that

            [tex]y(t) = 0.27 y_o[/tex]

So the equation is represented as

       [tex]0.27 y_o = y_o * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]

=>    [tex]0.27 = * e ^{-0.00012t}[/tex]

=>    [tex]ln(0.27) = -0.00012t[/tex]

=>  [tex]- 1.30933 = -0.00012t[/tex]

=>  [tex]t = \frac{-1.30933}{-0.00012}[/tex]

What is labor cost?

It refers to the expenditure done on procuring labor for the work.

How to calculate per hour labor cost?

In our situation Shannon paid total $339.50 in which the cost of the parts is $112 and 3.5 hours of labor. So,

labor cost Shannon Paid=339.50-112

=$227.50

labor cost per hour=227.50/3.5

=$6.5 per hour

Joni paid total $455 in which the cost of spare parts is $310 and rest is labor

labor cost paid by Joni=455-310

Hey there! :)

Answer:

m = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the formula y = -5 + 4x. Rearrange the equation to be in proper slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

Where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Therefore:

y = -5 + 4x becomes y = 4x - 5

The 'm' value is equivalent to 4, so the slope of the equation is 4.

Solve for x: 125^(3x+7)=25^(5x−11)

Answers

Answer:

x = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

125^(3x+7)=25^(5x−11)

Rewriting the bases as powers of 5

125 = 5^3  and 25 = 5^2

5^3 ^ (3x+7) = 5^2^(5x-11)

We know a^b^c = a^ (b*c)

5^(3 * (3x+7)) = 5^(2*(5x-11))

Distribute

5^(9x+21) = 5^(10x-22)

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

9x+21 = 10x-22

Subtract 9x from each side

9x+21 -9x = 10x-9x-22

21 = x-22

Add 22 to each side

21+22 = x-22+22

(b) If the sports report begins at 11:10, what is the probability that he misses part of the report if he waits until grading is done before turning on the TV?
2

Answers

Answer:

A) 0.99413

B) 0.00022

Step-by-step explanation:

A) First of all let's find the total grading time from 6:50 P.M to 11:00 P.M.:

Total grading time; X = 11:00 - 6:50 = 4hours 10minutes = 250 minutes

Now since we are given an expected value of 5 minutes, the mean grading time for the whole population would be:

μ = n*μ_s ample = 42 × 5 = 210 minutes

While the standard deviation for the population would be:

σ = √nσ_sample = √(42 × 6) = 15.8745 minutes

To find the z-score, we will use the formula;

z = (x - μ)/σ

Thus;

z = (250 - 210)/15.8745

z = 2.52

From the z-distribution table attached, we have;

P(Z < 2.52) ≈ 0.99413

B) solving this is almost the same as in A above, the only difference is an additional 10 minutes to the time.

Thus, total time is now 250 + 10 = 260 minutes

Similar to the z-formula in A above, we have;

z = (260 - 210)/15.8745

z = 3.15

P(Z > 3.15) = 0.00022

A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching anatomy. A sample of 146 students using Method 1 produces a testing average of 51.6. A sample of 180 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 62.7. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 9.42 for Method 1 and 14.5 for Method 2. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

The  confidence interval is  [tex]-11.34 < \mu_1 -\mu_2 < -10.86[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The first sample size is  [tex]n_1 = 146[/tex]

    The second sample size is [tex]n_2 = 180[/tex]

    The first sample mean is [tex]\= x_1 = 51.6[/tex]

    The second  sample  mean is  [tex]\= x_2 = 62.7[/tex]

     The first standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma _1 = 9.42[/tex]

     The second standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma _2 = 14.5[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  98% then the significance level is mathematically evaluated as

      [tex]\alpha = (100 -98 )\%[/tex]

       [tex]\alpha = 2 \%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the z-table , the value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.33[/tex]

The reason we are obtaining critical value of  

 [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]

instead of  

[tex]\alpha[/tex]

is because  

 [tex]\alpha[/tex]

represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval (

[tex]1-\alpha[/tex]

) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while  

 [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex]

is just the area of one tail which what we required to calculate the margin of error

NOTE: We can also obtain the value using critical value calculator (math dot armstrong dot edu)

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1^2} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2^2} }[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]E = 2.33 * \sqrt{ \frac{9.42^2}{146^2} + \frac{14.5^2}{180^2} }[/tex]

substituting values

     [tex]E = 2.33 * \sqrt{ \frac{9.42^2}{146^2} + \frac{14.5^2}{180^2} }[/tex]

     [tex]E = 0.2405[/tex]

The 98% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

      [tex](\= x _ 1 - \= x_2 ) - E < \mu_1 -\mu_2 < (\= x _ 1 - \= x_2 ) + E[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex](51.6 - 62.7) - 0.2405 < \mu_1 -\mu_2 < (51.6 - 62.7) + 0.2405[/tex]

     [tex]-11.34 < \mu_1 -\mu_2 < -10.86[/tex]

x is the input, and the set of the possible values of x is called the domain.

y is the output, and the possible values of y is called the range.

Now, if we have two functions:

f(x) = y

g(x) = y.

we can define the composition of functions as: using the output of one function as the input of the other function, we can write this as:

f( g(x)) or fog(x)

In words, first we evaluate the function g in the point x, and the output of that is used as the input for the function f.

Then, the correct option here is D, composition.

what are the coordinates of the vertex of the function f(x) = x2 -12x +5?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{(6;\ -31)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

Let: [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex].

The coordinates of the vertex:

[tex](h;\ k)\to h=\dfrac{-b}{2a};\ k=f(h)=\dfrac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}[/tex]

We have

[tex]f(x)=x^2-12x+5\to a=1;\ b=-12;\ c=5[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]h=\dfrac{-(-12)}{2(1)}=\dfrac{12}{2}=6\\\\k=f(6)=6^2-12(6)+5=36-72+5=-31[/tex]

METHOD 2:

The vertex form of an equation of a quadratic function:

[tex]f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

We have:

[tex]f(x)=x^2-12x+5\to a=1[/tex]

Complete to the square [tex](a\pm b)^2=a^2\pm2ab+b^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2-12x+5=x^2-\underbrace{2(x)(6)}_{12x}+5=\underbrace{x^2-2(x)(6)+6^2}_{a^2-2ab+b^2}-6^2+5\\\\=\underbrace{(x-6)^2}_{(a-b)^2}-36+5=(x-6)^2-31\\\\h=6;\ k=-31\to(6;\ -31)[/tex]

The time it takes to travel from home to the office is normally distributed with μ = 25 minutes and σ = 5 minutes. What is the probability the trip takes more than 40 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P(X > x) = 0.0013499[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mean is  [tex]\mu = 25[/tex]

      The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 5 \ minutes[/tex]

      The random number  [tex]x = 40[/tex]

Given that the time taken is  normally distributed  the probability is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(X > x) = P[\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma } > \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma } ][/tex]

Generally the z-score for the normally distributed data set is mathematically represented as

        [tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }[/tex]

So  

     [tex]P(X > x) = P[Z > \frac{40 -25}{5 } ][/tex]

    [tex]P(X > x) = 0.0013499[/tex]

This value is obtained from the z-table
