after 1 year, 80% of the initial amount of a radioactive substance remains. what is the half-life of the substance? half-life is

Answers

Answer 1

If a radioactive substance remains 80% of the initial amount then the half life of the radioactive substance is 2.5 years.

Given 80% of the initial amount of a radioactive substance remains.

If after 1 year the value or weight of the radioactive substance remains 80% means the rate of disappearing is 20% per annum.

If we clearly observe then it is forming a geometric progression and the rate is 80%.

Geometric progression will be if we assume the initial quantity be 100

is:

100,80,64,.........

we have to calculate the value of years in the value of term is 0.

the value of nth term of a geometric progression is [tex]ar^{n-1}[/tex]

so,

r is 0.8

100*[tex]0.8^{n-1}[/tex]=0

[tex]0.8^{n-1}[/tex]=0

if we calculate this we will find n-1=11

n=12

So the full life of radioactive substance is 12 and the half life will be 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 10x^2 - 5x:

Then:  10x^2 - 5x = 5x(2x - 1), since 5x is common to the two given terms

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at all of the terms in this binomial, we can see that they both have 5x in common.  We can now factor 5x out of the equation to get our answer.

To do this, we must divide both terms by 5x.

[tex]10x^2[/tex] divided by [tex]5x[/tex] is [tex]2x[/tex], and [tex]-5x[/tex] divided by [tex]5x[/tex] is [tex]-1[/tex].

Ten years ago Victors age WAs half of the age he will be in 10 years how old is he now?

Answers

By solving a linear equation, we will see that Victor is 30 years old.

How old is Victor now?

Let's say that Victor is x years old.

We know that 10 years ago, (x - 10), his age was half of what it will be in 10 years (x + 10).

Then we can write the linear equation:

(x - 10) = (x + 10)/2

Now we can solve that equation for x:

2*(x - 10) = x + 10

2x - 20 = x + 10

2x - x = 10 + 20

x = 30

So we conclude that Victor is 30 years old.

Hey I need help on this question. Could I have a simple explaination as I find it difficult to understand things

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface, in this case, describes the number of squares that are painted. On the left hand side, we have a cube, so we know we're going to have 6 faces. And each face on the cube has 9 little squares, they can be counted on the diagram. So, the total number of squares that are painted on the left cube = [tex]9 * 6 = 54[/tex]

The star means multiplication.

We are told in the question that it takes 9 litres of paint to cover the surface of the left hand cube, meaning it takes 9 litres of paint to cover 54 squares.

This can be written in the ratio = [tex]9:54[/tex]

If we divide both sides of the ratio by 9, we can figure out the amount of squares that 1 litre of paint covers, [tex]1:6[/tex].

The ratio tells us that 1 litre of paint covers 6 squares.

Let's look at the shape on the right. It is still a cube, however, some segments have been removed. Some faces still remain the same as in the shape on the left, such as the bottom face, the back face and the face to the left. Those faces may not be so apparent on the diagram, however, they exist. So we have to count them.

The number of small squares on these faces = [tex]9 * 3=27[/tex]

If you look on the inside of the cube, which can be seen on the diagram, we can see three faces, each having four squares. So, the total number of squares here = [tex]3*4=12[/tex]

Also, we have some squares on the top, and if you count these, there are 5.

This also applies for the front and the right hand side if you count, so we add 10 squares to the total as there are another two lots of five.

So, the total number of squares on the right cube = [tex]27 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 54[/tex]

Let's bring back the ratio of litres of paint to the number of squares covered: [tex]1:6[/tex]

In the ratio, there are 6 squares per litre. We know that 6 × 9 = 54 (our total). So, we multiply left hand side of the ratio by 9 as well, bringing the total amount of paint required to 9 litres.

I hope this helps.

The surface area of cuboid = [tex]$400 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$[/tex].

How to estimate the surface area of cuboid?

If the left cube takes 9 liters of paint to cover the surface. Then, also right cube takes 9 liters of paint to cover the surface.

Cuboid dimension [tex]$\frac{10 \mathrm{~cm}}{(l)} \times \frac{10 \mathrm{~cm}}{(b)} \times\frac{5 \mathrm{~cm}}{(h)}$[/tex]

Surface area = 2(lb + lh + bh)

= 2(100+50+50)

Answers

Answer:

X = 3, -1; B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use log properties, log 5 on both sides, log 5 of 25 is 2 that times the exponent, so 2*x = 2x, and on the other side, log 5 and base of 5  cancels. So 2x = x^2 -3, which can be solved using factoring:

x^2 -2x -3 = (x-3)(x+1) = 0, x=3,-1

The value of x in 25ˣ = 5ˣ²⁻³ is x =3 or x = -1.

What is a quadratic function?

A polynomial function with one or more variables, where the largest exponent of the variable is two, is referred to as a quadratic function. In other terms, a "polynomial function of degree 2" is a quadratic function.

Given that the equation is 25ˣ = 5ˣ²⁻³.

To solve the equation, take logs on both sides, we get,

x log(25) = (x²- 3)log5

2x log 5 = (x²- 3) log5

2x = x²-3

x²- 2x -3 = 0

Now, factorize the quadratic equation,

we get,

x² - 3x + x - 3 = 0

x(x- 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0

x = 3 or -1.

Therefore, x = 3 or x = -1.

How much 100% active ingredient powder would you need to add to 4 mL

strengthen the mixture to 50% active ingredient powder?

Answers

We need to add 2.4 mL of 100 % active ingredient powder to strengthen the mixture to 50% active ingredient powder

How to calculate the amount of active ingredient?

The amount of each volume m = CV where

C = concentration and V = volume

The amount of 50 % mixture, m = amount of 100 % powder + amount of 20 % powder.

M = m + m'

CV = C'V' + C"V" where

C = 50% concentration = 0.5, V = 50 % Volume, C' = 100 % concentration = 1, V' = 100 % volume, C" = 20 % concentration  = 0.2 and V" = 20 % volume = 4 mL

So, CV = C'V' + C"V"

0.5V = 1 × V' + 0.2 × 4

0.5V = V' + 0.8  (1)

Also, we have that the total volume V = V' + V"

V = V' + 4 (2)

Substituting equation (2)into (1), we have

0.5V = V' + 0.8

0.5(V' + 4) = V' + 0.8

0.5V' + 0.5 × 4 = V' + 0.8

0.5V' + 2 = V' + 0.8

0.5V' - V' = 0.8 - 2

-0.5V' = -1.2

V' = -1.2/-0.5

V' = 2.4 mL
