A doctor prescribes 100 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 15% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the half-life of the drug?

Answers

Answer 1

The drug administered to the patient by the doctor has a half-life of 5 hours

Half-Life

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive. The term is also used more generally to characterize any type of exponential decay.

The formula is given as;

T1/2 = ln2 / λ

Where;

λ = disintegration constant.

But λ = 15% = 0.15/hr

t1/2 = ln2 / 0.15

T1/2 = 0.693/0.15

T1/2 = 4.62 = 5 hours.

The drug has an half-life of approximately 5 hours

We are given two triangles. The vertices of the first triangle are E, F, and G. The vertices of the second triangle are H, I, and J. The triangles ΔEFG and ΔHIJ are similar to each other. The lengths of the sides FG, GE, and IJ are 12, 25, and 47, respectively. We need to find the length of the side, JH. The figure of the triangles is attached below.

Let the length of the side JH in the triangle ΔHIJ be represented by the variable "x". The side IJ is proportional to the side FG. Let the constant of proportionality be "k".

IJ ∝ FG

IJ = k*FG

k = IJ/FG

k = 47/12

The side JH is proportional to the side GE.

JH = k*GE

x = (47/12)*25

x = 97.9

Hence, the length of the side JH is 97.9 units.

The measurement of angles ∠1 is 126° and ∠2 is 154°.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have a figure of two triangles and some of the measurements of the angles are given.

We know that the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.

So, for the larger triangle, we have the following expression:

96+30+third angle = 180

Third angle = 180-126

Third angle = 54°

We know that sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.

So, we have:

∠1+54 = 180

∠1 = 180-54

∠1 = 126°

Now, finding the sum of angles in smaller triangle:

126+28+third angle = 180

Third angle = 180-154

Third angle = 26°

Now, angle 2 and this angle will make a straight line.

∠2+26 = 180

∠2 = 180-26

∠2 = 154°

Hence, the measurement of angles ∠1 is 126° and ∠2 is 154°.

Suppose you know that f(x) is an odd function on the domain of all real numbers and that the function is concave up on the intervals 0 < x < 3 and 5 < x and concave down on the interval 3 < x < 5.
List ALL intervals on which the function f(x) is concave up and ALL intervals on which the function f(x) is concave down; explain how you know these to be correct

Answers

The intervals for the concavity of the odd function are given as follows:

Concave down: x < -5, -3 < x < 0, 3 < x < 5.Concave up: -5 < x < -3, 0 < x < 3, x > 5.

What are even and odd functions?

The definition of even and odd functions depends on the relation between f(x) and f(-x), as explained as follows:

In even functions, we have that the statement f(x) = f(-x) is true for all values of x.In odd functions, we have that the statement f(-x) = -f(x) is true for all values of x.If none of the above statements are true for all values of x, the function is neither even nor odd.

In this problem, we have that the function is odd, hence the following statement is true:

f(-x) = -f(x) for all values of x.

This means that the concavity intervals are exchanged, hence:

f(x) is concave down on -3 < x < 0, as it is concave up of 0 < x < 3.f(x) is concave down on x < -5, as it concave up on x > 5. f(x) is concave up on -5 < x < -3, as it is concave down of 3 < x < 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear function, every time x is increased by 1, y is increased by a set amount. The only two complete rows in the table are when x = 1 and x = 5. x is increased four times in that interval while y has increased by 40(40 - 0). This means that every time x increases by 1, y increases by 10(40/4).

Therefore, when x is 2, y will be 10.

To get to ninety, 10 will needed to be added to 0(when x=1) 9 times. 1 + 9 is 10, so x = 10 when y = 90.

The future value of $8904.56 compounded semi annually is $13,468.95 The interest earned is approximately $4,564.39

The future value of $8904.56 compounded continuously is $66,185.90.

The interest earned is approximately $57,281.34.

What are the future values and the interests?

When an investment is compounded semi annually, it means that both the amount that was invested and the interest that has already been earned increases in value twice in a year.

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

Where:

FV = Future value P = Present value R = semi annual interest rate = annual interest rate / number of compounding = 6% / 2 = 3%m = number of compoundingN = number of years

FV = 8904.56 x 1.03^(7 x 2) = $13,468.95

Interest = future value - amount invested

$13,468.95 -  $8904.56 = $4,564.39

When an amount is compounded continusoly, it increases in value infinitely over the investment time horizon.

The formula for calculating future value when there is continuous compounding is : A x e^r x N

Where:

A= amount e = 2.7182818 N = number of years r = interest rate

FV = 8904.56 x e^0.06 x 7 = $66,185.90

x = 9, y = 13x = 22, y  = 15x = 7, y = 24

How to find angles in parallel line cut by a transversal?

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angle relationships are formed such as corresponding angles, alternate angles, linear angles, vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, the angle relationship can be used to find the value of x and y in the diagram.

In the diagram, l and m are parallel lines and are cut by a transversal line.

Therefore,

10.

10x - 17 = 8x + 1(alternate exterior angles are congruent)

10x - 8x = 1 + 17

2x = 18

x = 18 / 2

x = 9

8x + 1 + 6y + 29  = 180(sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees)

72 + 1 + 29 + 6y = 180

102 + 6y = 180

6y = 180 - 102

6y = 78

y = 78 / 6

y  = 13

11.

7x - 30 = 5x + 14(Corresponding angles)

Corresponding angles are congruent.

7x - 5x = 14 + 30

2x = 44

x = 44 / 2

x = 22

3y + 11 + 7x - 30 =  180(sum of angles on a straight line)

3y + 11 + 7(22) - 30 =  180

3y + 11 + 154 - 30 = 180

3y = 180 - 11 - 154 + 30

3y = 45

y = 45 / 3

y = 15

12.

7y - 23 = 23x - 16 (vertically opposite angles)

7y - 23x = 7

8x - 21 + 23x - 16 = 180 (same interior angles are supplementary)

31x  - 37 = 180

31x = 180 + 37

31x = 217

x = 217 / 31

x = 7

7y - 23(7) = 7

Griffin wants to go hiking, but the weather is not cooperating. Right now, there is 2 inches of snow on the ground and snow is falling at a rate of 0.25 in/hr. (a) Write the linear equation that represents the represents the total amount of snow, y, after x amount of hours. (b) How much snow will be on the ground after 4 hours? You must use your equation above to solve, and you must show all of your work. (c) If Griffin does not want to be hiking when there is 6 inches of snow on the ground, how long does he have to complete his hike? Do you think he will finish his hike in time? You must use your equation above to solve, and you must show all of your work.

Answers

a) The linear function is:

y = 2 + 0.25x.

b) The amount of snow on the ground after 4 hours will be of 3 inches.

c) The time that he has to complete the hike is of 16 hours, which is enough to finish the hike, as they don't take this long.

What is a linear function?

The slope-intercept representation of a linear function is presented by the rule as follows:

y = mx + b

The coefficients of the function and their meaning are described as follows:

m is the slope of the function, representing the unit rate of change of the output y by the input x.b is the y-intercept of the function, which is the numeric value of the output y when the input x assumes a value of zero.

In this problem, the values of these coefficients are given as follows:

b = 2, which is the initial amount of snow on the ground.m = 0.25, which is the hourly rate of snow.

Hence the equation is:

y = 2 + 0.25x.

After four hours, the amount of snow on the ground will be of:

y = 2 + 0.25(4) = 2 + 1 = 3 inches.

The time until the amount reaches 6 inches is of:

2 + 0.25x = 6

0.25x = 4

x/4 = 4

x = 16 hours.

If
a + 86 = 48,
what is
a − 86?

Answers

Answer:-48

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 85 = 48

first we need to find what a

86-48=a

a=38

now we calculate

a-86?

38 - 86 = -48

Answer:

a - 86 = -124

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 86 = 48

a = 48 - 86

a = -38

Then:

a - 86 = -38 - 86

= -124

La duración de las llamadas telefónicas de larga distancia realizadas desde una central telefónica tiene distribución normal con media de 130 segundos y desviación estándar de 30 segundos. Si en un día cualquiera se realizaron 500 llamadas telefónicas desde esta central, ¿cuál es la probabilidad que la duración total de estas llamadas supere las 18 horas? Considere independencia en la duración de las llamadas.

El valor de la probabilidad es: ______ (escriba su respuesta con tres decimales)

Answers

The probability that the total duration of the 500 calls is greater than 18 hours, using the normal distribution, is of:

0.618 = 61.8%.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a variable that has mean symbolized by [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation symbolized by [tex]\sigma[/tex] is obtained by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score represents how many standard deviations the measure X is above or below the mean of the distribution, depending if the obtained z-score is positive or negative.Using the z-score table, the p-value associated with the calculated z-score is found, and it represents the percentile of the measure X in the distribution.By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is of [tex]\mu n[/tex] and the standard deviation is of [tex]\sigma\sqrt{500}[/tex]

Hence, for the total duration of the 500 calls, in seconds, the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 500 \times 130 = 65000, \sigma = 30\sqrt{500} = 670.82[/tex]

Each hour has 3600 seconds, hence the number of seconds in 18 hours is given as follows:

3600 x 18 = 64800.

The probability that the total time is greater than 18 hours is one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 64800, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (64800 - 65000)/670.82

Z = -0.3.

Z = -0.3 has a p-value of 0.382.

1 - 0.382 = 0.618 = 61.8% probability.

Translation

The problem says that:

Telephone calls are normally distributed with mean of 130 seconds and standard deviation of 30 seconds.A sample of 500 calls is taken.The problem asks for the probability that the total duration of these calls is greater than 18 hours.Calls are independent.
