After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant at Chernobyl (Ukraine) in 1986, the hay in Austria was contaminated by iodine 131 (half-life 8 days). If it is safe to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay?

Answers

Answer 1

Given the data provided, it follows that the farmers must wait for 26 days before feeding the hay to cows.

What is half life?

The term half life is defined as the time taken for half of the original amount of the radioactive sample to remain.

Now we know that;

half life = 8 days

Original amount = No

Amount left after t days = 0.1No

time taken = t days

Hence;

0.693/8 = 2.303/t log (No/0.1No)

0.087 = 2.303/t

t = 2.303/0.087

t = 26 days

Write an equation that relates x, y, z, and C.

Answers

According to the given information, we build the equation for the cost. After we build the equation, the equation that relates these measures is:

[tex]C = 0.99 + xy + 0.2z[/tex]

Cost:

0.3 kilograms of tomatoes, at 3.30 dollars per kilogram.

Thus, the cost starts at:

[tex]C = 0.3*3.3 = 0.99[/tex]

y kilograms of cucumbers, at x dollars per kilogram.

Considering this, the cost will now be of:

[tex]C = 0.99 + xy[/tex]

0.2 kilograms of carrots, at z dollars per kilogram:

Now, we have to consider this for the cost, so:

What is the slope? Please Help

Answers

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,2) and (2,0)

Using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 0-2)/(2-0)

    = -2/2

  = -1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two points on the line to find the slope, using rise over run.

We can use the points (0, 2) and (2, 0).

From the first point to the other, the y value decreases by 2 and the x value increases by 2.

Use rise (change in y value) over run (change in x value):

-2 / 2

= -1

So, the slope is -1.

Let a and b be real numbers, where a<b, and let A=(a,a^2)  and B= (b,b^2) The line AB (meaning the unique line that contains the point A and the point B) has x-intercept (-3/2,0) and y-intercept (0,3). Find a and b. Express your answer as the ordered pair (a,b)​

Answers

The slope of the line passing through points A and B is

slope = (b ² - a ²) / (b - a) = ((b - a) (b + a)) / (b - a) = b + a

Since this line passes through (0, 3), its equation would be

y - 3 = (b + a) (x - 0)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3

It also passes through (-3/2, 0), so that

y - 0 = (b + a) (x + 3/2)   ==>   y = (b + a) x + 3/2 (b + a)

If these equations describe the same line, then they must have the same slope and y-intercept, so that

3 = 3/2 (b + a)   ==>   a + b = 2

It also passes through (a, a ²), so that

a ² = (b + a) a + 3   ==>   a ² = ab + a ² + 3   ==>   ab = -3

Solving for b in the first underlined equation, we get

b = 2 - a

Substituting into the second equation and solving for a gives

a (2 - a) = -3   ==>   2a - a ² = -3   ==>   a ² - 2a - 3 = (a - 3) (a + 1) = 0

==>   a = 3   or   a = -1

==>   b = -1   or   b = 3

Since a < b, we pick a = -1 and b = 3, so the solution is (a, b) = (-1, 3).

Solve the following systems of equations using the substitution method. 6x + 2y = 82 and x − y = 3 y = 4x − 1 and x + y = 9 4x + 3y =17 and y = 5 − x

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

puhhh ! that way of typing can be misleading.

let me sum up what equations I think the problem definition specified :

1)

6x + 2y = 82

x - y = 3

2)

y = 4x - 1

x + y = 9

3)

4x + 3y = 17

y = 5 - x

solving 1)

x - y = 3 => x = y + 3

putting this into the first equation

6×(y+3) + 2y = 82

6y + 18 + 2y = 82

8y +18 = 82

8y = 64

y = 8

x = y + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

solving 2)

using the first equation in the second equation

x + (4x - 1) = 9

5x - 1 = 9

5x = 10

x = 2

y = 4x - 1 = 4×2 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

solving 3)

using the second equation in the first equation

4x + 3×(5 - x) = 17

4x + 15 - 3x = 17

x + 15 = 17

x = 2

y = 5 - x = 5 - 2 = 3

Help me plz 20 points to who ever gets it right

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

2., 3., 4., 5.

yes, you had the right idea to calculate the half distances between the coordinates. just create the absolute values of the full distance before cutting it in half.

you need to remember : we have to go this half distance from one point to the other (meaning adding our subtracting the half distance to/from the starting point).

2.

(-4, 6) to (10, -10)

in x the distance is 10 - -4 = 14. half is 7.

in y the distance is |-10 - 6| = |-16| = 16. half is 8.

so the midpoint is

(-4 + 7, 6 - 8) = (3, -2)

remember, to go the half distance in the direction towards the second point (so we have to choose properly, when to use "+" and "-" depending on the change of the coordinate : from -4 to 10 we have to add, from 6 to -10 we have to subtract, of course).

3.

(-3, -8) to (-6.5, -4.5)

in x distance : -3 - -6.5 = 3.5. half is 1.75

in y distance : -8 - -4.5 = |-3.5| = 3.5. half is 1.75

midpoint is

(-3 - 1.75, -8 + 1.75) = (-4.75, -6.25)

4.

(3, 7) to (-8, -10)

x : 3 - -8 = 11. half is 5.5

y : 7 - -10 = 17. half is 8.5

midpoint is

(3 - 5.5, 7 - 8.5) = (-2.5, -1.5)

5.

(-6, -13) to (-6.4, -3.8)

x : -6 - -6.4 = 0.4. half is 0.2

y : -13 - -3.8 = |-9.2| = 9.2. half is 4.6

midpoint is

(-6 - 0.2, -13 + 4.6) = (-6.2, -8.4)

6.

(-1, 7) to (5, 1)

x : -1 - 5 = |-6| = 6. 1/3 is 2.

y : 7 - 1 = 6. 1/3 is 2.

1/3 from C to D

(-1 + 2, 7 - 2) = (1, 5)

7.

2/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 6. (1/3 from C to D).

again

(1, 5)

8.

2/3 of the way from C to D.

so, we need to double what we added in 6.

(-1 + 4, 7 - 4) = (3, 3)

9.

1/3 of the way from D to C is the same point as in 8. (2/3 of the way from C to D).

again

(3, 3)

10.

exactly. Pythagoras.

the square root of the sum of the squares of the coordinate differences.

distance = sqrt((x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²)

11.

(6, 8) to (-1, 8)

distance = sqrt((6 - -1)² + (8 - 8)²) = sqrt(49) = 7

12.

(5, -6) to (5, 6)

sqrt((5-5)² + (-6-6)²) = sqrt(144) = 12

13.

(-2, 0) to (11, 0)

sqrt((-2 - 11)² + (0-0)²) = sqrt(169) = 13

14.

(1, -5) to (9, 1)

sqrt((1-9)² + (-5 - 1)²) = sqrt(64 + 36) = sqrt(100) = 10

15.

ST and MT are basically the same equation.

MT is half of ST.

ST equation based on 2 points :

y – yS={(yT – yS)/(xT – xS)}(x – xS)

M = (xS + (xT - xS)/2, yS +(yT - yS)/2)

so, let's put that into the general equation :

y - yM={(yT - yM)/(xT - xM)}(x - xM)

y - (yS +(yT - yS)/2) = {(yT - (yS +(yT - yS)/2))/(xT - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))}(x - (xS + (xT - xS)/2))

16.

the two corners farthest away are (5, 10) and (9, 6).

what distance from (0, 0) is now bigger ?

since it is (0, 0), we can skip the 0s and just sum up the squares of the coordinates.

5² + 10² = 125

9² + 6² = 117

so, the corner (5, 10) is the farthest away.
