Answer:

<em>11.29 grams </em><em>of strontium-90 were present in the original rock sample in 1933.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Strontium has a half-life of 28.8 years. Therefore,

1989 - 1933 = 56 years.

56 / 28.8 = 1.94 half-lives

Thus, the quantity of the radioisotope remaining will double for each half-life elapsed. moving backwards in time.

Therefore, moving backwards in time by 1.94 half-lives, the quantity remaining will double by 1.94 times.

Thus, the amount remaining in 1933 is

3.0 × (1.94)² = <em>11.29 grams</em>

Answer:

D. -6m²n² + 10m²n + 8mn² - 10mn

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7mn + 8mn² - 8m²n²) + (10m²n + 2m²n² - 3mn)

Apply the distributive property to remove the parentheses

-7mn + 8mn² - 8m²n² + 10m²n + 2m²n² - 3mn

Combine like terms together and arrange in standard form

-7mn + 8mn² - 8m²n² + 10m²n + 2m²n² - 3mn

-8m²n² + 2m²n² + 10m²n + 8mn² - 7mn - 3mn

-6m²n² + 10m²n + 8mn² - 10mn

In the following diagram \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{FG}
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<x = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<BCA = m<GCJ (vertical angles)

m<BCA = 59° (substitution)

Since line KL is perpendicular to line FG, the angle formed at point B is 90°.

Therefore, m<ABC = 90°

m<BAC + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

m<BAC + 90° + 59° = 180° (Substitution)

m<BAC + 149° = 180°

m<BAC = 180° - 149°

m<BAC = 31°

<x = <BAC (vertical angles)

m<x = 31° (substitution)

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2y−x≤−6 ?
Vinil7 [7]
Given inequality: 2y−x ≤ −6

Option-1 : (-3,0)
2×0 - (-3) = 0 + 3 = 3 > -6
Not satisfied

Option-2 : (6,1)
2×1 - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4 > -6
Not satisfied

Option-3 : (1, -4)
2×(-4) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9 < -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (1, -4) is a solution.

Option-4 : (0, -3)
2×(-3) - 0 = -6 - 0 = -6 = -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (0, -3) is a solution.

Option-5 : (2, -2)
2×(-2) - 2 = -4 - 2 = -6 = -6
Satisfied.
Thus, (2, -2) is a solution.

Solutions are: (1, -4), (0, -3) , (2, -2)

Milly wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form. What is the value of c in her equation?
zysi [14]

Answer:

c = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 is in standard form

By comparison of the coefficients of the terms, c = - 7
