Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with 10 micrograms of the radioactive substance Polonium-210. Since radioactive decay follows

a compounded continuously model, we can determine the amount of substance left in Alexander Litvinenko's body at any given time. If Polonium-210 has a decay rate of .502%, then determine the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 85 days

Answer:

There will be 6.5266 micrograms of Polonium-210 in his body after 85 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

A continuously compounded decay can be modeled by the following expression:

P=P_{0}*e^{-dt}

Where "P" is the amount of Polonium-210 left after "t" days, "P0" is the initial amount of Polonium-210 and "d" is the decay rate. Replacing the known values into the expression yields:

P=10*e^{-0.00502*85}\\P= 6.5266 \mu g

There will be 6.5266 micrograms of Polonium-210 in his body after 85 days.

*Note that 0.502% = 0.00502.

The equation 3w + 4j = 39 is used to determine the number of water bottles w and the number of juice bottles j that can be bough
jarptica [38.1K]

Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:

3w + 4(6) = 39

3w + 24 =39

Subtract 24 from both sides:

3w = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

w = 15/3

w = 5

You can buy 5 water bottles.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data below :

312 2753 2595 6057 7624 6624 6362 6575 7760 7085 7272 5967 5256 6160 6238 6709 7193 5631 6490 6682 7829 7091 6871 6230 7253 5507 5676 6974 6915 4999 5689 6143 7086

The maximum value = 7829

Minimum value = 312

Range (maximum - minimum) = (7829 - 312) = 7517

Mode(most frequently occurring) = all observations occur once

Median = 1/2 (n+1)th term

= 1/2 (33+1) = 1/2 (34) = 17th term = 6490 (after rearranging in ascending order)

Mean(m) = Σ(X) /number of observations (n) = (201608)/33 = 6109.33

Variance = Σ(x - m)² / n = 78234131 / 33 = 2370731.2

Standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(2370731.2) = 1539.7179

Which number line represents the solution of 4x - 9 ≥ -21? what would the number line look like ?
Fittoniya [83]

Solve for x:

4x-9 >= -21

Add 9 to both sides:

4x >= -12

Divide both sides by 4:

X >= -3

The number line would have a solid dot on -3 with a line and arrow pointing to the right of -3
