Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 26 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 680 grams, how much of the element would remain after 19 years, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  410 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay can be modeled by an exponential equation. The amount remaining (y) after a time period (t) can be expressed in terms of the initial amount (a) and the half-life (h).

  y = a(1/2)^(t/h)

__

We can use this equation with the given values to find the amount remaining.

  y = (680 g)(1/2)^((19 yrs)/(26 yrs)) ≈ (680 g)(0.602583)

  y ≈ 410 g

About 410 grams of element X will remain after 19 years.

preferred stock common stock

20y1
20y2
20y3

Answers

Based on the preferred dividends, the dividends for preferred and common stock in each year are:

Preferred stock dividends:

20y1 - $3.00 per share.20y2 - $1.20 per share.20y3 - $4.80 per share.

Common stock dividends:

20y1 - $1.20 per share.20y2 - $0 per share.20y3 - $1.68 per share.

What are the preferred dividends?

Preferred shares have a specific dividend, and as these are cumulative shares, the dividends that are not paid in one year, will be paid in the next.

Dividends per year:

= 20,000 x 2% x 150

= $60,000

20y1 dividend per share:

= 60,000 / 20,000

= $3.00 per share

20y2 dividend per share:

= 24,000 / 20,000

= $1.20 per share

20y3 dividend per share:

The remaining dividend from 20y2 will have to be paid here:

= (60,000 + (60,000 - 24,000)) / 20,000

= 96,000 / 20,000

= $4.80 per share

What are the common dividends?

Preferred dividends are paid first:

Common dividends are:

= (Amount distributed as dividends - Preferred dividends) / Number of common shares

In 20y1:

= (120,000 - 60,000) / 50,000

= $1.20

In 20y2:

= (45,000 - 45,000) / 50,000

= $0 per share

In 20y3:

= (180,000 - 96,000) / 50,000

= $1.68 per share.

Find the measures of angles a=(2x+3) and b=(2x-3),if their sum is 120 degrees

Answers

Answer:

angle A is 63 degrees,

angle B is 57 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's create the equation. Pretty simple, because angles a and b become 120 degrees when added up, this this will become:

2x+3+2x-3=120

now, we make it simpler. In this case, just add up the numbers that we can add up. this eventually becomes:

4x=120

now, all we need to do is divide 120 by 4, which becomes 30. So, x=30.

substitute the 30 into the x in the original equation, and this becomes:

60+3+60-3=120

63+57=120

thus, angle A is 63 degrees, and angle b is 57 degrees.

r(r+h) = 27

r(9) = 27

r = 27/9

r = 3

SA = surface area of a sphere

SA = 4*pi*r^2

SA = 4*pi*34^2

SA = 4264pi

Answer:  4264pi square mm

==========================================================

Problem 11

Plug V = 3000 into the sphere volume formula and isolate r.

V = (4/3)pi*r^3

3000 = (4/3)pi*r^3

(4/3)pi*r^3 = 3000

4pi*r^3 = 3*3000

4pi*r^3 = 9000

r^3 = 9000/(4pi)

r = cube root(  9000/(4pi)  )

r = ( 9000/(4pi) )^(1/3)

r = 8.947002 approximately

Now we can determine the surface area of this sphere.

SA = 4pi*r^2

SA = 4*pi*( 8.947002 )^2

SA = 1005.923451

Answer:  1005.923451 square feet approximately

==========================================================

Problem 12

We'll follow the same idea as problem 11, but in reverse.

SA = 4*pi*r^2

400pi = 4pi*r^2

r^2 = (400pi)/(4pi)

r^2 = 100

r = sqrt(100)

r = 10

Luckily we get a nice whole number for the radius r. Use it to find the volume.

V = (4/3)*pi*r^3

V = (4/3)*pi*10^3

V = (4000/3)pi
