An unknown radioactive element decays into non-radioactive substances. In 560 days the radioactivity of a sample decreases by 36 percent.

(a) What is the half-life of the element?
half-life:

(b) How long will it take for a sample of 100 mg to decay to 55 mg?
time needed:

Answers

Answer 1

After taking the given data into consideration we conclude that
a) the half-life of the unknown radioactive element is approximately 1921.7 days.
b) approximately 1011.4 days, or about 2.77 years, for a sample of 100 mg to decay to 55 mg.

(a) The half-life of a radioactive element is the time needed for half of the material to decay. To find the half-life of the unknown radioactive element, we can use the fact that in 560 days, the radioactivity of a sample decreases by 36 percent. Let T be the half-life of the element. Then, we have:
[tex]0.5 = (1 - 0.36)^{(560/T)}[/tex]
Simplifying this equation, we get:
[tex]0.5 = 0.64^{(560/T)}[/tex]
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:
[tex]ln(0.5) = ln(0.64)^{(560/T)}[/tex]
[tex]ln(0.5) = (560/T) * ln(0.64)[/tex]
Solving for T, we get:
[tex]T = -560 / (ln(0.64) * ln(0.5))[/tex]
[tex]T \approx 1921.7 days[/tex]

(b) To find how long it will take for a sample of 100 mg to decay to 55 mg, we can use the half-life formula:
[tex]N = N_0 * (1/2)^{(t/T)}[/tex]
where:
N is the final amount, which is 55 mg in this case
[tex]N_0[/tex] is the initial amount, which is 100 mg in this case
t is the time it takes for the sample to decay from [tex]N_0[/tex] to N
T is the half-life of the element, which we found to be approximately 1921.7 days
Substituting the values, we get:
[tex]55 = 100 * (1/2)^{(t/1921.7)}[/tex]
Simplifying this equation, we get:
[tex]0.55 = (1/2)^{(t/1921.7)}[/tex]
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:
[tex]ln(0.55) = (t/1921.7) * ln(1/2)[/tex]
Solving for t, we get:
[tex]t = -1921.7 * ln(0.55) / ln(1/2)[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 1011.4 days[/tex]

The function h defined by h(t)=(-4.9t + 29.4)(t+2) models the height in meters, of an object t seconds after it is launched. When will the object hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The time the object will hit the ground is 2 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

h(t) = (-4.9t + 29.4)(t + 2)

Open the bracket;

h(t) = -4.9t² + 29.4t  -9.8t + 58.8

h(t) = -4.9t²  + 19.6t + 58.8

When the  object hit the ground, the final velocity will be zero;

[tex]v = \frac{dh}{dt} = 0 \\\\\frac{dh}{dt} = -9.8t + 19.6 = 0\\\\9.8t = 19.6\\\\t = \frac{19.6}{9.8} \\\\t = 2 \ s[/tex]

Therefore, the time the object will hit the ground is 2 s.

Group of answer choices

equal, equal

different, equal

equal, different

different, different

Answers

The true intercept and slope are both different from the estimated values based on statistical significance.

The p-value of the intercept coefficient and that of the slope coefficients are 0 and 0.02(2%) respectively. This means that they are statistically significant. Thus we can infer that the true intercept and slope is not equal to 0.

The standard error of the intercept coefficient is 6, which means that the true intercept is likely to be within 6 units of the estimated intercept. The standard error of the slope coefficient is 1, which means that the true slope is likely to be within 1 unit of the estimated slope.

Therefore, the true slope and intercept will be different from the estimated slope and intercept.

Answers

Part a:Here, In be the number of n-digit quinary (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) sequences with(i) at least one 3 and (ii) the first 3 occurs before the first 0 (possibly no 0's).Since there is at least one 3 in the n-digit sequence, we start the sequence by selecting one of the 5 digits. There are five ways to do this.The next digits are chosen according to one of the three cases shown below:1) A string of (n-1) digits where no 0's are included in the string.2) A string of (n-1) digits where at least one 0 appears in the string before the first 3.3) A string of (n-1) digits where 3 appears before the first 0 in the string.The first string in case 1 can be formed in 4 different ways because no 0's can appear in the string and there are 4 digits to choose from (0, 1, 2, 4). There are 5 choices for the first digit and thus 5*4 quinary sequences of length n with at least one 3 and no 0's that start with the selected digit.The first string in case 2 can be formed in 5 different ways because the first 3 can appear in any position before the first 0. The remaining digits are chosen in n-2 positions because the first digit is already chosen (which is 3) and n-1 digits are left. There are 4 choices for each of the remaining n-2 positions because no 0's can appear in the string and there are 4 digits to choose from (0, 1, 2, 4). Thus, there are 5*5*4^(n-2) quinary sequences of length n with at least one 3 and at least one 0 that start with the selected digit.The first string in case 3 can be formed in n-1 different ways because the first 3 can appear in any position before the first 0. The remaining digits are chosen in n-2 positions because the first digit is already chosen (which is 3) and n-1 digits are left. There are 4 choices for each of the remaining n-2 positions because no 0's can appear in the string and there are 4 digits to choose from (0, 1, 2, 4). Thus, there are 5*(n-1)*4^(n-2) quinary sequences of length n with at least one 3 and at least one 0 that start with the selected digit.Therefore, the number of n-digit quinary sequences with (i) at least one 3 and (ii) the first 3 occurs before the first 0 (possibly no 0's) is the sum of the number of sequences in each of the three cases above, i.e.In = 5*4^(n-1) + 5*5*4^(n-2) + 5*(n-1)*4^(n-2)Part b:Recurrence: qn = 3q(n-1) + 4^(n-1) + 2.   q1 = 1. Let's see if qn = 39(n-1) + 5(n-1) satisfies this recurrence.q1 = 1 = 3(1-1) + 4^(1-1) + 2 = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3(0) + 5(1-1) + 1 = 0 + 0 + 1Thus, q1 = 1 satisfies the recurrence.qn+1 = 3qn + 4^n + 2 = 3(39n-1 + 5n-1) + 4^n + 2= 117(n-1) + 15(n-1) + 4^n + 2= 132(n-1) + 4^n + 3Using this formula, we can see that q2 = 91.Part c:Here, we need to finish the induction proof of this fact 2 that In = (n > 1).Induction Hypothesis: Assume true for n = k, i.e., Pk = Ik = 5*4^(k-1) + 5*5*4^(k-2) + 5*(k-1)*4^(k-2)Induction Step: To show that it is true for n = k+1, we need to show that the formula given above holds. The first digit can be any of the 5 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and the remaining digits can be selected in one of the three ways discussed in part (a).Case 1: n-1 digits with no 0'sThere are 4 choices for each of the n-1 digits, since 0 cannot be used. Therefore, there are 4^(n-1) such sequences with no 0's.Case 2: n-1 digits with at least one 0 before the first 3The first 3 can be in any of the n-1 positions, and the digits before it must be chosen from the set {0,1,2,4}. The remaining digits can be chosen in any of the 4 choices. Therefore, there are 5*(n-1)*4^(n-2) such sequences.Case 3: n-1 digits with 3 before 0We start by selecting one of the n-1 positions for the 3, then the remaining digits are chosen from the set {0,1,2,4}. There are (n-2) positions left for the remaining digits. There are 4 choices for each position, since 0 cannot be used. Therefore, there are 5*(n-1)*4^(n-2) such sequences.Thus, the total number of n-digit quinary sequences with at least one 3 and with the first 3 before the first 0 isIn = 5*4^(n-1) + 5*5*4^(n-2) + 5*(n-1)*4^(n-2) = qn+1 - qn = 132(n-1) + 4^n + 3 - (39(n-1) + 5(n-1)) = 93(n-1) + 4^n + 3which completes the induction proof.Part d:Since qn = 39n-1 + 5n-1, we haveqn+1 - qn = 132n - 39n - 5n = 88nTherefore, qn+1 = qn + 88nSubstituting qn = 39n-1 + 5n-1, we getqn+1 = qn + 88n = 39n-1 + 5n-1 + 88n = 39n + 5n + 88(n-1)Simplifying, we getqn+1 = 132(n-1) + 4^n + 3Therefore, en = In - In-1 = 93(n-1) + 4^n + 3 - 93(n-2) - 4^(n-1) - 3= 93n - 93(n-1) - 4^(n-1)= 93 - 4^(n-1)Thus, the closed form for en is en = 93 - 4^(n-1).

Find the mZxº and the mzmº.

Answers

Answer:

m = 58°

x = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

When a puck touches one side of the air hockey table,

All the angles formed are located at a point on a straight line.

Therefore, sum of angles formed is 180°.

m° + m° + 64° = 180°

2m + 64 = 180

2m = 180 - 64

2m = 116

m = 58°

m∠y = m = 58° [Alternate interior angles]

Similarly, on the other side of the table,

58° + y° + x° = 180°

58° + 58° + x° = 180°

x + 116° = 180°

x = 180 - 116

x = 64°

Answers

Answer:

The highest temperature was 33C warmer  than the lowest temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many degrees warmer was the highest temperature, you have to calculate the difference between both temperatures:

23-(-10)

According to the sign rule, you have to change the subtraction sign  to addition and then, change the sign on the umber after that and add the numbers, which is:

23+10=33

According to this, the answer is that the highest temperature was 33C warmer  than the lowest temperature.

Let 21, a2, a3 be a sequence defined by a1 = 1 and ak = 2ak-1 . Find a formula for an and prove it is correct using induction.

Answers

The formula for the sequence is an = [tex]2^n[/tex], where n is a positive integer. This formula is proven correct using mathematical induction.

To find a formula for the sequence defined by a1 = 1 and ak = 2ak-1, we can use mathematical induction to establish a pattern and then derive the formula. Here's how we can solve it step by step:

Step 1: Base case:

For k = 1, we have a1 = 1.

Step 2: Assume the formula holds for some positive integer n, where n ≥ 1.

Assume that an = [tex]2^{n-1[/tex] for some positive integer n.

Step 3: Use the assumption to prove the formula for the next term.

Now, let's prove that an+1 = [tex]2^n[/tex] holds.

Using the recursive formula ak = 2ak-1, we have:

an+1 = 2an

Substituting the assumed formula an = [tex]2^{n-1[/tex], we get:

an+1 = 2([tex]2^{n-1[/tex])

To simplify, we have:

an+1 = [tex]2^n[/tex]

Step 4: Conclusion:

Based on the assumption and the proof for the next term, we can conclude that the formula an = [tex]2^n[/tex] holds for all positive integers n ≥ 1.

Therefore, the formula for the sequence defined by a1 = 1 and ak = 2ak-1 is an = [tex]2^n[/tex].

The perimeter of the floor is the sum of the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle. Since the greenhouse is 20 ft long and 16 ft wide, the perimeter of the floor is:

Perimeter of floor = 2(length + width) = 2(20 ft + 16 ft) = 2(36 ft) = 72 ft

In addition to the floor perimeter, to account for the distance around the door. The door is 8 ft wide, so the additional distance around the door is:

Distance around door = 2(width of door) = 2(8 ft) = 16 ft

calculate the total length of the hose needed by adding the perimeter of the floor and the distance around the door:

Total length of hose = Perimeter of floor + Distance around door = 72 ft + 16 ft = 88 ft

Answers

Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scatter plot displayed, we could clearly observe the direction of the trend line as it produces a negative slope. For high values of y, the values of x are low and similarly, high values of x have low y values. Therefore, this kind of relationship between the two variables is considered negative.

Your class is planning a breakfast bake sale and you have been tasked to bake the donuts and bagels. The system below represents the total amount of flour, in pounds, needed to replicate a batch-of-six bagel recipe and a batch-of-twelve donut recipe. You will be replicating the donut recipe d number of times and the bagel recipe b number of times. 3d + 5b = 21 d + b = 5

Answers

Answer:

3 bagel recipe and 2 doughnut recipes are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

3d + 5b = 21 .. 1

d + b = 5 .... 2

We can use the expression to look for the amount of doughnut recipe and bagel recipe needed by solving the equations simultaneously

Multiply equation 1 by 1 and 2 by 3 to have;

3d + 5b = 21 .. 3

3d + 3b = 15 .... 4

Subtract 3 from 4

5b - 3b = 21 - 15

2b = 6

b = 6/2

b = 3

Substitute b = 3 into equation 2;

From 2,

d = b = 5

d + 3 = 5

d = 5 - 3

d = 2

Hence 3 bagel recipe and 2 doughnut recipes are needed

The scale on a map is 1 in: 55 miles. What is the distance on the map between two cities that are 99 miles apart?

Answers

Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the distance on the map

[tex]\frac{1}{55}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{99\\}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x

55x = 99

x = 1.8

So, the distance on the map is 1.8 inches

Answer:

1.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Scales on a map always represent the direct proportion.

Compare the distances as fractions:

Inches on the map

________________  =  [tex]\frac{1}{55} = \frac{x}{99}[/tex]

Miles on the ground

[tex]x = \frac{1x99}{55}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{99}{55}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

x = 1.8 inches

Which of the following indicate that the result from a simple linear regression model could be potentially misleading? a. The error terms follow a normal distribution b. The error terms exhibit homoscedasticity c. Then n th error term (e_n) can be predicted with e_n = 0.91 * e_n - 1 d. The dependent and the independent variable show a linear pattern

Answers

The correct answer is: c. The n-th error term (e_n) can be predicted with e_n = 0.91 * e_n - 1.

This statement indicates that there is a correlation or relationship between consecutive error terms, where the n-th error term can be predicted based on the previous error term. In a simple linear regression model, the error terms are assumed to be independent and have no correlation with each other.

However, if there is a correlation between the error terms, it violates the assumption of independence, which can lead to biased and unreliable regression results. Therefore, this condition suggests that the result from the simple linear regression model could be potentially misleading.

Consider a financial economy consisting of a single representative agent that solves the following two-period utility maximization problem with uncertainty in the second period: 1 max co,c1 (L),c (H),a In(co) + ln(c (L))+ In(c(H)) subject to co + Pa=2+ Pao C (L) = 1 + D(L) a c(H) = 3+D(H)a I'll now describe the various variables. The agent's period utility function is ln(), and the agent derives utility from initial consumption co and the expected utility from future consumption. In the second period (t = 1) there are two possible states, the "low" state L (which arrives with probability 1/2) and the "high" state H (which arrives with probability 1/2). c (L) is consumption in the low state, and c(H) is consumption in the high state. The agent has two sources income. The first is an exogenous endowment of goods, which is 2 in the initial period, 1 in the low state, and 3 in the high state. Additionally, there is a "stock" with a fixed supply of one. The stock trades at price P in the first period, and the agent initially owns the stock 1 (ao 1). The stock pays D(L) per share the low state and D(H) per share in the high state. The agent decides how many shares a to buy or sell. A financial equilibrium consists of agent choices (co, c (L), c (H), a) and a stock price P such that the choices are optimal given P and (ii) markets clear, that is, a = 1, co=2, c (L) = 1 + D(L), and c (H)=3+D(H). (a) Suppose D(L) = 0 and D(H) = 1. What is the equilibrium stock price P? (Hint: from class, we know that agent optimality is described by Pu'(co) = zu' (c (L))D(L) + u'(c(H))D(H).
