You have 2000 grams of substance A which has decay constant 0.03, and you have 3000 grams of substance B, which has decay constant 0.05. After how many years will the amounts of the two substances be equal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If you have a quantity X of a substance, with a decay constant r, then the equation that tells you the amount of substance that you have, at a time t, is:

C(t) = X*e^(-r*t)

Now, we know that:

We have 2000g of substance A, and it has a decay constant of 0.03 (i assume that is in 1/year because the question asks in years)

And we have 3000 grams of substance B, with a decay constant of 0.05.

Then the equations for both of them will be:

Ca = 2000g*e^(-0.03*t)

Cb = 3000g*e^(-0.05*t)

Where t is in years.

We want to find the value of t such that Ca = Cb.

So we need to solve:

2000g*e^(-0.03*t) = 3000g*e^(-0.05*t)

e^(-0.03*t) = (3/2)e^(-0.05*t)

e^(-0.03*t)/e^(-0.05*t) = 3/2

e^(t*(0.05 - 0.03))  = 3/2

e^(t*0.02) = 3/2

Now we can apply Ln(x) to both sides, and get:

Ln(e^(t*0.02)) = Ln(3/2)

t*0.02 = Ln(3/2)

t = Ln(3/2)/0.02 = 20.3

Then after 20.3 years, both substances will have the same mass.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs.
Match the trigonometric expressions to their solutions.

Answers

Answer:

1) cos (140°-(50°+30°)) = 1/2

2)  [tex]sin255^{\circ}=\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{4} }[/tex]

3)  [tex]cos150^{\circ}=-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

4) ,  [tex]tan 240^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) cos (140°-(50°+30°))

Solving:

cos (140°-(50°+30°))

=cos(140°-80°)

=cos(60°)

=1/2

So, cos (140°-(50°+30°)) = 1/2

2) sin 255°

We can write sin 255° as sin(180°+75°)

Solving sing formula sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)

[tex]sin(180^{\circ}+75^{\circ})\\=sin(180^{\circ})cos(75^{\circ})+cos(180^{\circ})sin(75^{\circ})\\=0(cos(75^{\circ}))+(-1)(\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{4} } )\\=0+(-1)(\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{4} } )\\\=\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{4} }[/tex]

So, [tex]sin255^{\circ}=\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6} }{\sqrt{4} }[/tex]

3) cos 150°

We can solve this using the identity: cos(x)=sin(90°-x)

Solving:

cos 150°= sin(90°-150°)

=sin(-60°)

We know sin(-x)=-sin(x)

=-sin(60°)

=[tex]-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

So, we get [tex]cos150^{\circ}=-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]

4) tan 240°

We know tan(180°+x)=tan(x)

tan 240° can be written as tan(180°+60°)

Using the above identity:

tan(180°+60°)=tan(60°) = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

So,  [tex]tan 240^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Please answer with explanation.

Answers

The tank decreased from 10 cm to 7 cm, so the tank lost 3 cm of water.
So 30%.was lost

Answer:

10cm - 7cm = 3cm

this 3cm is the decrease in the depth of water, let us find the percentage decrease.

%decrease=(decrease÷original depth) × 100%

%decreas=(3cm÷10cm)×100%

therefore we get 30%

Answers

Answer:

18/8 = x/3

x = 6.75 inches (length)

Step-by-step explanation:

A larger rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 8 inches.

Inches /width = 18/8

So, for a rectangle that has a length of x inches and width of 3 inches the ratio is :

x/3

Solving for x:

18/8 = x/3

18/8 (3) =x

6.75 in= x

The sum of three consecutive integers is more than 62. Write an inequality to represent the above

Answers

Given:

Sum of three consecutive integers is more than 62.

To find:

The inequality to represent the above  situation then solve your inequality.

Solution:

Let the three consecutive integers are [tex]x,x+1,x+2[/tex] respectively.

Sum of three consecutive integers is more than 62. So,

[tex]x+(x+1)+(x+2)>62[/tex]

[tex]3x+3>62[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides.

[tex]3x>62-3[/tex]

[tex]3x>59[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]x>\dfrac{59}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the required inequality is [tex]x+(x+1)+(x+2)>62[/tex] and solution is [tex]x>\dfrac{59}{3}[/tex].

find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of 0

Answers

Complete question is;

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions 0 if the terminal side of 0 in standard position contains the points(-5,-4).

Answer:

Sin θ = -4/√41

Cos θ = -5/√41

tan θ = 4/5

Cosec θ = (√41)/-4

Sec θ = (√41)/-5

Cot θ = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we are given the point (-5, -4)

These are x and y points.

They will form a triangle and we know that from pythagoras theorem;

x² + y² = r²

Where r is the distance between the point and the origin

Thus;

r² = (-5)² + (-4)²

r² = 25 + 16

r = √41

So, y is the opposite side of the triangle while x is the adjacent side with r being the hypotenuse.

Thus, the trigonometric ratios are;

Sin θ = opp/hyp = -4/√41

Cos θ = adj/hyp = -5/√41

tan θ = opp/adj = -4/-5 = 4/5

Cosec θ = 1/Sin θ = 1/(-4/√41) = (√41)/-4

Sec θ = 1/cos θ = 1/(-5/√41) = (√41)/-5

Cot θ = 1/tan θ = 1/(4/5) = 5/4

By what number must you multiply a quantity in order to increase it by 25% in a single step?

Answers

Answer:

5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose a quantity A that has a value of x

A = x

25% of A is = x/4

now adding this 25% to get 25% increase in the original value

A' = x+ x/4

    A' = 5x/4

    A' = 5*A/4

This means that , in order to increase the value by 25%  in a single step we must multiply the the original value by 5/4.

    Coordinates of the new point J' after reflection of x-axis will follow the rule,

    (x, y) → (x, -y)

    Coordinates of J' → (-8, 12)

    Therefore, point J' will lie in 2nd quadrant.

15). Coordinates of a point → W(-6, 7)

    Rule for the rotation by 90°clockwise about the origin,

    (x, y) → (y, -x)

    Coordinates of point W → (-6, 7)

    Following this rule,

    W(-6, 7) → W'(7, 6)

    Therefore, point W' will lie in the first quadrant.
