If you start with 85 milligrams of Chromium 51, used to track red blood cells, which
has a half-life of 27.7 days.
How long will it take for 90% of the material to decay?

Answers

Answer 1

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to decay.

The mass of radioisotopes ([tex]m[/tex]), measured in milligrams, decreases exponentially in time ([tex]t[/tex]), measured in days. The model that represents such decrease is described below:

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass, in milligrams.[tex]m(t)[/tex] - Current mass, in milligrams.[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, in days.

In addition, the time constant is defined in terms of half-life ([tex]t_{1/2}[/tex]), in days:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]m_{o} = 85\,mg[/tex], [tex]t_{1/2} = 27.7\,d[/tex] and [tex]m(t) = 8.5\,mg[/tex], then the time required for decaying is:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau = \frac{27.7\,d}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 39.963\,d[/tex]

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -(39.963\,d)\cdot \ln \frac{8.5\,mg}{85\,mg}[/tex]

[tex]t\approx 92.018\,d[/tex]

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to decay.

The chances that you will be ticketed for illegal parking on campus are about 1/3. During the last nine days, you have illegally parked every day and have NOT been ticketed (you lucky person!). Today, on the 10th day, you again decide to park illegally. The chances that you will be caught are:

Answers

2/3*9=6
6/10=3/5
3/5 chance to be caught

The required probability of getting caught on the 10th day is 3/5.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
Probability of getting caught in 9 days
= [1 - 1/3]*9=6

The probability of getting on the tenth day is given as,

= 6/10
=3/5

Thus, the required probability of getting caught on the 10th day is 3/5.

Jane needs to make a four-letter password. If the first letter has to be a vowel, how many possibilities are there to choose from where y is not a vowel

Answers

The vowels are A,E,I,O,U so 5 because if you add them together it’s 5

The number of possibilities for Jane for making the four letter password (either upper case or lower case) with first letter being a vowel is 1406080

What is the rule of product in combinatorics?

If a work A can be done in p ways, and another work B can be done in q ways, then both A and B can be done in [tex]p \times q[/tex] ways.

Remember that this count doesn't differentiate between order of doing A first or B first then doing other work after the first work.

Thus, doing A then B is considered same as doing B then A

We need to find the number of ways a four letter password can be made The first letter is fixed to be a vowel.

There are 10 vowels (5 of lowercase and 5 of upper case).

Thus, 10 ways of choosing the first letter.

Second letter can be any of the 52 letters(26 of lowercase and 26 of uppercase).

Similarly, third and fourth letter can be any of the 52 letters.

Thus, using the product rule, the number of ways of making the four letter password is:

[tex]N = 10 \times 52 \times 52 \times 52 = 1406080[/tex]

(the answer can be different if we consider only either lowercase letters or only upper case letters. In those cases, there would be [tex]5 \times 26^3 = 87880[/tex] ways to make such passwords).

We used product rule, since we wanted to do the choosing of all the four letters for password, and we knew the number of ways each of them can be done individually.

Thus,  the number of possibilities for Jane for making the four letter password (either upper case or lower case) with first letter being a vowel is 1406080

What function represents the next graph?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1:  y = (x - 2)² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertex, (2, 2), of an upward-facing parabola, and using the y-intercept of the graph, (0, 6):

Definitions:

The vertex form of the quadratic equations is:

y = a(x - h)² + k

where:

(h, k) is the vertex.

The value of h represents the horizontal translation of the graph. h > 0 represents the horizontal shift of the graph h units to the right. h < 0 shifts the graph |h | units to the left. The value of k  represents the vertical translation of the graph. k > 0 shifts the graph k units upward. k < 0 shifts the graph |k | units down.

The sign of a  determines the direction of the graph's opening. The value of a also determines the vertical stretch or shrink of the graph.

If a is positive (or a > 1), then the graph opens upward. The value of a > 1 also represents the vertical stretch of the graph.  If a is negative (or a < 0), then the graph opens down.The value of 0 < a < 1 represents the vertical shrink or compression of the graph.

Solution:

Substitute the values of the vertex (2, 2) and the y-intercept, (0, 6) into the  vertex form to solve for the value of the coefficient, a:

y = a(x - h)² + k

6 = a(0 - 2)² + 2

6 = a(-2)² + 2

6 = 4a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides

6 - 2 = 4a + 2 - 2

4 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for a :

[tex]\displaytext\mathsf{\frac{4}{4} \:=\frac{4a}{4}}[/tex]

a = 1

Quadratic Equation in Vertex Form:

Therefore, given the vertex, (2, 2) and a = 1, the quadratic equation in vertex form is: y = (x - 2)² + 2, thereby matching Option 1.

From the question, we understand that the line of the equation passes through points (0,2) and (5,-2)

This means that:

(0,2) and (5,-2) are solutions of the equation

Other possible solutions include (-10, 10) and (-5,6)

Anna starts a fixed deposit with $178000, the bank offers 9.5% per year simple interest for 8 months. she has the option of restarting the investment using the interest earned as principal or cashing out at the end of the 8 months, (A) Calculate the interest due after 8 months. (B) if she restarts the investment into a new one calculate the total value of the investment at the end of the second 8 months

Answers

Using simple interest, we have that:

A) The interest due after 8 months is $11,272.33.

B) The total value of the investment will be of $189,986.24.

The amount of interest earning using simple interest, after t years, with an yearly interest rate of i and an initial investment of P is given by:

[tex]E = Pit[/tex]

In this problem:

Deposit of $178,000, hence [tex]P = 178000[/tex].Interest rate of 9.5% per year, hence [tex]i = 0.095[/tex].8 months, the time is in years, hence [tex]t = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]E = Pit[/tex]

[tex]E = 178000(0.095)\frac{2}{3} = 11272.33[/tex]

The interest due after 8 months is $11,272.33.

Item b:

For the second interest, we consider [tex]P = 11272.33[/tex], hence:

[tex]E_2 = Pit[/tex]

[tex]E_2 = 11272.33(0.095)\frac{2}{3} = 713.91[/tex]

The total value will be composed by:

The initial deposit of $178,000.The first interest of $11,272.33.The second interest of $713,91.

Hence, it will be:

[tex]T = 178000 + 11272.33 + 713.91 = 189986.24[/tex]

The total value of the investment will be of $189,986.24.
