The radioactive substance polonium-210, with a half-life of 138.39 days, is present in tobacco. Suppose that the soot in an ex-smoker's lungs contains 100 milligrams of polonium-210. How much radioactive polonium will remain after one year of not smoking

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

16.07 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Using the formula of radioactive decay,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original mass of the polonium-210, R' = Final mass of polonium-210 after decaying, a = Total disintegration time, b = half life of polonium-210.

Make R' the subject of the equation

R' = R/(2ᵃ/ᵇ)................ Equation 2

Given: R = 100 milligrams, a = 1 years = 365 days, b = 138.39 days

Substitute these values into equation 2

R' = 100/(2³⁶⁵⁰⁰/¹³⁸³⁹)

R' = 100/(6.222)

R' = 16.07 milligrams of plonium-210

x^2 + 4x − 9 = 0

I have no idea what to do! Help

Answers

Answer:

X= 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If I’m not mistaken then this is how to work it out. X^2 + 4x -9 =0. X^2 + 4x would be 5x. 5x - 9 = 0. +9 on both sides. 5x=9. Divide by 5 on each side. X= 1.8

There are 45 rows of tomato plants in the hydroponics farm at O'Brien's Farms Each row has 14 plants. 2/3 of the plants have sprouted. How many sprouted plants does O'Brien's have?

Answers

Answer: 420 sprouted plants

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the total number of tomato plants in the farm.

= Number of rows * No. of plants per row

= 45 * 14

= 630 plants

2/3 of them have sprouted so the number of sprouted plants is:

= 2/3 * 630

= 420 sprouted plants

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the repeating 3 placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.5333.. ( multiply both sides by 10 and 100 )

10x = 5.333... → (1)

100x = 53.333... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) tus eliminating the repeating 3

90x = 48 ( divide both sides by 90 )

x = [tex]\frac{48}{90}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

C = 112, A = 150, D = 30, B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved C first using:

30+38+c = 180 (angles along a straight line should add up to 180 since a whole circle is 360)

-

I solved A by looking across from C.

Angles on opposite sides should mirror each other but A includes 38* + C

Just by doing 112 + 38 you get 150.

-

I solved D by looking at 30*, alternative interior angles are the same so D is 30*.

-

I solved B by taking C (112) and D (30) and adding them together and subtracting from 180.

Interior angles of a triangle should all add up to 180,

112 + 30 + B = 180

From this I got that B was 38.

Alternatively you can find this out by looking at the 38 degrees, corresponding congruent angles are always the same.

I suggest reviewing this angles sheet if you're ever stuck in the future.

C = 112, A = 150, D = 30, B = 38

x = 5.

Now put that into the other equation.

4x + 5y = 40

Substitute variable.

4(5) + 5y = 40

20 + 5y = 40

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5y = 20

Find the measure of XCY. PLEASE HELP ME AND SHOW WORK

Answers

Answer:

Measure of angle XCY is 60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Measure of all inscribed angles by the same arc in one segment of the circle are equal"

Using this property in the given circle,

m∠XWY = m∠XCY

60x = 61x - 1

61x - 60x = 1

x = 1

By substituting the value of 'x' in the measure of ∠XCY,

m∠XCY = 61x - 1

             = 61(1) - 1

             = 61 - 1

             = 60°

Therefore, measure of angle XCY is 60°.

What is the measure of the missing angle?

105°

Answers

Answer:

Answer: 40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a triangle the missing angle would be 40 degrees because

35 + 105 + 40 = 180

Hope this helps!

Always remember that the three angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. No exceptions for any triangle. With that being known, you know that of the 180 degrees a triangle is supposed to have, 140 degrees is already there (35+105). The remaining degrees left is 40 degrees (180-140). 40 degrees is the measure of the missing angle.
