Radium decays according to the function Q(t) = Q0e-kt where Q represents the quantity remaining after t years and k is the decay

constant 0.00043. What is the half-life of radium? Calculate how long it will take for 120g of radium to decay to 60g. Round your answer to the nearest year.

Solve

hmmm
half life
well, 120 to 60 is half

60=120e^(-0.00043t)
solve for t
divide both sides by 120
1/2=e^(-0.00043t)
take ln of both sides
ln(1/2)=-0.00043t
divide both sides by -0.00043
ln(1/2)/-0.00043=t
t≈1611.97 years
about 1612 years

Let's calculate the value of angle A and B

sin(A) =-4/5 → sin⁻¹(- 4/5) = A  →  A = - 53.13


cos(B) = -5/13 → cos⁻¹ (- 5/13) = B  → B = 112.62


tan (A+B) = sin(A+B)/cos(A+B)  with A+B = -53.13 + 112.62 = 59.49

tan (A+B) = sin(59.49)/cos(59.49) = 0.86154/0.507688 = 1.6969.

(Answer H = 56/33 = 1.6969)

A movie streaming website charges an initial fee of $50, plus $5 for each movie that is streamed. How many movies must be stream
alukav5142 [94]
The average cost of streaming N movies will be
.. average cost = (total cost)/(number of movies)
.. = (50 +5N)/N
.. = (50/N) +5

You want this value to be 7, so you have
.. 7 = (50/N) +5
.. 2 = 50/N
.. N = 50/2 = 25

25 movies must be streamed to get the average cost down to $7.

Finger [1]
Yes because any number multiplied by a decimal gets moved over to how ever many decimal places it went. EX 5(.12) = .6. Every time multiplying with a decimal, the answer will always be smaller and include a decimal.
