10. The half-life of a radioactive substance is 15
years.
Write an equation that can be used to determine

that remains after t years. (2 points)
Determine algebraically, to the nearest year, how
long it will take for 1/10 of this substance to
remain. (3 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

s(t)=200(1/2)^t/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's answer:

https://www.nysedregents.org/algebratwo/619/algtwo62019-mrs.pdf

Answer 2

The number of years it will take for  1/10 of this substance to remain is; 50 years

What is the half life formula?

The half life formula is;

N(t) = N₀(¹/₂)^(t/t_1/2)

where;

N(t) is quantity of the substance remaining

N₀ is initial amount of substance

t is time elapsed

t_1/2 is half life

Thus;

S(t) = 200(¹/₂)^(t/15)

We want to find the time it will take 1/10 of the substance to remain. Thus;

1/10 = (200/200)(¹/₂)^(t/15)

1/10 = (¹/₂)^(t/15)

t/15 = In(1/10)/In(¹/₂)

t/15 = 3.32193

t = 49.88 ≈ 50 years

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement. Reason

→ 9(x-6)+41 = 75. Transposing the like terms.

→ 9(x-6) = 75 - 41 Performing subtraction of the term in RHS

→ 9(x-6) = 34 Performing multiplication in LHS.

→ 9x - 54 = 34 Distributive property

→ 9x = 34 + 54 Performing addition of the term in RHS.

→ 9x = 88. Now, transpose 9 from LHS to RHS , it's arthmetic operator will get changed.

→ x = 88/9

2. Lilly and Laura pooled their money to purchase
their brother, Liam, a video game for his birthday.
The video game cost a total of $45. If Laura was
only able to contribute 2/3 of what Lilly did, how
much did Laura put toward the present?
F. $18
G. $21
H. $24
J. $27
K. $30
(Retyped)

Answers

$30 because 2/3 percent of 45 = 30

Multiply 45 x 2 then divide by 3.

:)

Laura put $18 toward the present. Therefore, the correct answer is F. $18. Let's use variables to represent the amounts that Lilly and Laura contributed.

Let L be the amount Lilly contributed and 2/3L be the amount Laura contributed.

According to the information given:

L + 2/3L = $45

To solve for L, combine the terms with L:

1L + 2/3L = $45

To combine the fractions, find a common denominator:

(3/3)L + 2/3L = $45

Now, the fractions have a common denominator:

(5/3)L = $45

To isolate L, divide both sides by 5/3:

L = $45 / (5/3)

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

L = $45 * (3/5)

L = $9 * 3

L = $27

So, Lilly contributed $27.

Now, to find how much Laura contributed:

Laura's contribution = 2/3L = 2/3 * $27 = $18

Consider the linear function f(x)=4x -5.
Find f(3), f(0), f(-2).

Answers

Answer: f(3)= 7, f(0)= -5, f(-2)= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute and plug in.

For f(3), we plug in 3 for x in the equation.

So, 4(3)-5, which is just 12-5, which is 7

We do the same for f(0),

4(0)-5, which is 0-5, which is -5

Once again for f(-2),

4(-2)-5, which is -8-5, which is -13

0.8x − 11 = 0.3x + 41

Answers

Answer:

0.8x − 11 = 0.3x + 41

0.8x-0.3x=41+11

0.5x=52

x=52/0.5

x=104

Answer:

x = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8x - 11 = 0.3x + 41

0.8x - 0.3x = 41 + 11 (collecting the variables on one side)

0.5x = 52

x = 52 / 0.5

x = 104

The equation 20x2=4kx−13kx2+2 where k is a constant, has no real roots. It can be shown that k satisfies the inequality 2k2+13k+20<0.
Find the set of possible values for k.​

Answers

Answer:

16k with the little 2 by the k so like 16k2-4(2)(-5k)

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER IS -5/2<K<0.

The set of possible values for k is -4<k<-5/2.

The given equation 20x²=4kx-13kx²+2 and the inequality is 2k²+13k+20<0.

What are the roots?

For a given quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the values of x that satisfy the equation are known as its roots. i.e., they are the values of the variable (x) which satisfies the equation. The roots of a quadratic function are the x-coordinates of the x-intercepts of the function.

The given equation has no real roots.

4kx-13kx²+2-20x²=0

⇒ 4kx-x²(13k+20)+2 = 0

If the discriminant of a quadratic function is less than zero, that function has no real roots.

Compare 4kx-x²(13k+20)+2=0 with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get a= - (13k+20), b=4k and c = 2.

So, b²-4ac<0

(4k)²-4(-(13k+20))(2)<0

⇒ 16k²+8(13k+20)<0

⇒ 8(2k²+13k+20)<0

⇒ 2k²+13k+20<0

Using splitting middle term method, we get

2k²+8k+5k+20<0

⇒ 2k(k+4)+5(k+4)<0

⇒ (k+4)(2k+5)<0

⇒ -4<k<-5/2

Therefore, the set of possible values for k is -4<k<-5/2.
