Suppose a laboratory has a 30 g sample of polonium-210. The half-life of polonium-210 is about 138 days. a. How many half-lives of polonium-210 occur in 1104 days? b. How much polonium is in the sample 1104 days later?

9; 0.06 g
8; 0.12 g
8; 2,070 g
8; 3.75 g

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the decay or "half-life" of radioactive particles is really a big joke by nature, in my opinion.

it takes that much time for half of the amount to decay, so, naturally, one wound assume that after a second interval then the other half is gone.

but far from it. no, only the half of the originally remaining half is then gone (the half of a half is 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4). and after another interval the half of the half of the half is then gone. and so on.

so, this creates a geometric sequence with the common factor (or ratio) if 1/2.

that means every term is created by multiplying the previous term by 1/2.

a.

how many "half-lives" in 1104 days ?

well, with every 138 days such a half-life is over.

so, the answer is how often 138 fits into 1104 :

1104 / 138 = 8

there are 8 "half-lives" of polonium-210 in 1104 days.

b.

how much polonium-210 is in the sample after 1104 days ?

since we have 8 half-lives, we need to multiply the original amount 8 times by 1/2. in other words by 1/2⁸.

2⁸ = 256

so, our calculation is

30 g × 1/256 = 0.1171875 g ≈ 0.12 g

so, the second answer option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is always determined by the names of its angles. If, for any reason, you wanted to label it by its side names(which I don't even think you can do but assuming you wanted to), you dont even have the names for all three sides here. So, it can only be d. A, X, and T are the three angle names for this triangle, so this is triangle ATX or AXT.

Answer:

ATX (option d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of any polygon are called as vertices.

Vertices of the triangle or endpoints of the sides of the polygon are A, T and X.

Triangles can also be classified by their angles. In an acute triangle all three angles are acute.

During a basketball game a player makes 12 of 18 free throws attempted. Write the ratio as a fraction reduced to lowest terms

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 out of 18 free throws is also equal to the fraction [tex]\frac{12}{18}[/tex]. To simplify this fraction, we have to find out the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 18. It turns out that the GCF of 12 and 18 is 6. So, we have to divide the fraction by 6 to reduce it to its lowest terms.

[tex]\frac{12}{18} /\frac{6}{6} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answers

The cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie is $9 while the cost of one package of oatmeal cookie dough is $14.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the cost of white chocolate chip and y represent the cost of oatmeal dough, hence:

12x + 6y = 192   (1)

Also:

6x + 12y = 222    (2)

From both equations:

x = 9, y = 14

The cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie is $9 while the cost of one package of oatmeal cookie dough is $14.

is (x-4) a factor of f(x)=x^3-2x^2+5x+1 explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simpler than you might expect.

If [tex](x - 4)[/tex]  is a factor, then it means that it the function [tex]f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x + 1[/tex] can have [tex](x - 4)[/tex] factorised out.

This means that we can say [tex](x - 4) = 0[/tex]

Therefore [tex]x = 4[/tex]

If we put [tex]x = 4[/tex] into the equation:

[tex]f(4) = (4)^3 - 2(4)^2 + 5(4) + 1\\= 64 - 32 + 20 + 1\\= 53[/tex]

We didn't get 0, therefore it isn't a factor!

What is a logarithm?

It is another way to represent the power of numbers and we say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' with base 'a' if and only if 'a' to the power 'b' equals 'c'.

We have an expression in logarithm:

[tex]=\rm log\sqrt{\frac{xy^2}{Z^8} }\\\\=log(\frac{xy^2}{Z^8})^{\frac{1}{2} }\\\\=\frac{1}{2}log(\frac{xy^2}{Z^8})[/tex]                         [tex](\rm loga^b = (b)log(a))[/tex]

[tex]\rm\frac{1}{2} (log(xy^2)-logz^8)[/tex]              [tex](\rm log(\frac{a}{b} )= loga - logb)[/tex]

[tex]\rm\frac{1}{2} (log(x)+log(y^2)-logz^8)[/tex]   [tex](\rm logab = loga+logb)[/tex]

[tex]\rm\frac{1}{2} (log(x)+2log(y)-8logz)[/tex]

Thus, we can write the log expression in terms of the log of x, y, and z as 1/2(logx+2logy-8logz).

What are the ratio and proportion?

The ratio is the division of the two numbers.

Proportion is the relation of a variable with another. It could be direct or inverse.

As per the given,

It takes 4 people 6 days to build a wall.

The number of people days taken = 4 x 6 = 24 people takes

Two angles are complementary (the sum of the two angles is 90°). The sum of the first
angle plus twice the second angle is 128°. Find the measures of the angles.

Answers

Answer:

A = 52º AND B=38º

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A and B the two angles.

First condition: A + B = 90º

Second cond: A + 2B = 128º

Subtract the first condition to the second: B = 38º

Replace the value of B in any of the 2 conditions; e.g. in the first.

A + 38º = 90º

A = 90º - 38º = 52º

Find the surface area of the cone in terms of π.

Answers

Answer:

161 × pi cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

we just had the question about the lateral surface area (which is the area of the "mantle" of the cone from the round bottom to the pointy top).

the whole surface area of a cone is then simply the lateral surface area plus the ground area, which is a circle.

so, we have

A = pi×r×sh + pi×r²

r = radius (remember, this is half of the diameter)

sh = slant height (the length of the "mantle" straight up from the ground to the top)

so, the surface area of our cone here is

A = pi×(14/2)×16 + pi×(14/2)² = pi×7×16 + pi×7² =

= 112×pi + 49×pi = 161 × pi cm²
