Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with 10 micrograms of the radioactive substance Polonium-210. Since radioactive decay follows a compounded continuously model, we can determine the amount of substance left in Alexander Litvinenko's body at any given time. If Polonium-210 has a decay rate of .502%, then determine the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 40 days. Provide 3 decimal places and units in your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Compounded continuously model are evaluated using exponential functions

There are 8.177 bacteria left after 40 days

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{a = 10}[/tex] --- the initial number of bacteria

[tex]\mathbf{r = 0.502\%}[/tex] --- the decay rate

[tex]\mathbf{n = 40}[/tex] --- the number of days

The amount of bacteria left each day is calculated using:

[tex]\mathbf{T_n = a \times (1 - r)^n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T_{40} = 10 \times (1 - 0.502\%)^{40}}[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]\mathbf{T_{40} = 10 \times (1 - 0.00502)^{40}}[/tex]

Simplify the expression in bracket

[tex]\mathbf{T_{40} = 10 \times 0.99498^{40}}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]\mathbf{T_{40} = 8.1766}[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]\mathbf{T_{40} = 8.177}[/tex]

Hence, there are 8.177 bacteria left after 40 days

by $1,2,3,4,6,12

how much did the output increase in dollars and how much did the movie decrease

Answers

A relation may or may not represent a function.

The relation of the movie and its costs is a function.The pattern is that, as unit cost of each movie decreases as the number of movies increases.

The costs are given as:

1 movie costs $102 movies cost $183 movies cost $244 movies cost $28

(a) The mapping diagram

To do this, we simply point the number of movies, to the corresponding costs, using arrows

See attachment for the mapping diagram.

(b) Is the relation a function

From the attached mapping, we can see that:

The costs of each movie are different.

This means that: the relation is a function.

(c) Describe the pattern

Notice that as the number of movies increases, the cost also increases;

However, the unit cost decreases.

Hence, the unit cost of each movie decreases as the number of movies increases.

X=36[tex]\sigma=5[/tex]p(x=19)=0.2167P(28 < x < 46) =0.3 P(x > 48)=0.3P(x > 17 | x < 62) =0.75k=29.4h=15

What is the mean of this distribution?

Generally, the equation for Mean is mathematically given as

[tex]X=\frac{a+b}{2}\\\\Therefore\\\\X=\frac{6+66}{2}[/tex]

X=36

b)

Generally, the equation for standard deviation is mathematically given as

c)

The probability that the number will be exactly 19

[tex]p(x=19)=\frac{19-6}{66-6}[/tex]

p(x=19)=0.2167

The probability that the number will be between 28 and 46 is P(28 < x < 46)

P(28 < x < 46) =0.3

e)

The probability that the number will be larger than 48 is P(x > 48)

[tex]P(x > 48)=1-P(x\leq 48)[/tex]

Therefore

tickets and a standard deviation of 5.3 tickets. The mean number of children's tickets he
sells is 42.5, with a standard deviation of 8.1.
(a) The adult tickets sell for $10. Let A = the money he collects from adult tickets on a
random Saturday. What are the mean and standard deviation of A?

Answers

Applying statistical concepts of multiplication of a variable by a constant, it is found that the mean of A is of $283, while the standard deviation is of $53.

When a constant is multiplied to each data in a variable:  

The mean is multiplied by this constant. The standard deviation is multiplied by this constant.

In this question, the variable has mean 28.3 and standard deviation of 5.3, and is multiplied by 10, hence:

[tex]28.3(10) = 283[/tex]

[tex]5.3(10) = 53[/tex]

The mean of A is of $283, while the standard deviation is of $53.

Javier worked 45 hours last week. His hourly rate for hours worked is $ 8.75 . After his 40 hour work week, he is paid time and a half for overtime. What is Javier’s gross pay for last week?

Answers

Pay for regular time = 40 hours x $8.75 = $350

Pay for overtime:
45-40= 5 hours

Overtime rate = $8.75 x 1.5 = 13.125

> 13.125 x 5 = 65.625

His gross pay= 65.625 + $350 = $415.625

The gross pay that Javier gets for last week is $415.625.

What is rate?

Rate is a measurement to determine the change in one quantity with respect to another quantity.

Given that,

Rate for 1 hour = $8.75,

Since, Javier worked 45 hours last week,

So total amount got by Javier = 45×8.75=393.75

According to condition,

Last 5 days Javier is paid half more amount for overtime,

Therefore,

Javier amount of overtime gets by Javier in last 5 days

=8.75×5/2

=21.875

Total amount = 393.75+21.875=415.625

So the gross pay for last week is $415.625.

Let f(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 and g(y) = y^3 + 7y^2 - 2. Find f(y) + g(y). Write your answer as a polynomial with terms of decreasing degree.

Answers

Answer:   y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5

Work Shown:

h(y) = f(y) + g(y)

h(y) = (y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3) + (y^3 + 7y^2 - 2)  

h(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 + y^3 + 7y^2 - 2  

h(y) = y^4 + (-3y^3+y^3) + 7y^2 + y + (-3 - 2)

h(y) = y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5

This is a fourth degree polynomial (aka quartic).

The intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

What is the average rate of change?

Let the function y = f(x).

Then the average rate of change will be

Average rate of change = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

On a busy construction site at 1:00 p.m. the sound level is 124 dB, while at 4:00 p.m. it is 100dB.

Then the intense as the sound of the construction site at 4:00 p.m. is the sound at 1:00 p.m. will be

⇒ (100 – 124) / 100

⇒ -0.24

The base of a triangle is 7 inches more than its height. If the area of the triangle is 39 square inches, find the base and height of the triangle
The height of the triangle is

Answers

Answer:

the height of the triangle is 6 inches and the base is 7 inches greater, or the base is 13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The general area-of-a-triangle formula is A = (1/2)(base)(height), or  = (1/2)bh.

Here b = h + 7.

Applying the area formula given above:  A = 39 in^2 = (1/2)(h + 7)(h), or

78 in^2 = h^2 + 7h,

Rewriting this, in standard quadratic form, we get h^2 + 7h - 78 = 0

                                                                             -7 ± (49 - 4[1][-78])

Applying the quadratic formula to find h:   h = ----------------------------

                                                                                          2

           -7 ± (49 + 312)        -7 ± 19

or h = ----------------------- = ------------- = {-13, 6}

                      2                       2

Discard the negative 13 root; the height must be a positive quantity.

Thus, the height of the triangle is 6 inches and the base is 7 inches greater, or the base is 13 in

The difference between the volume of the overall cylinder and the volume of the hole is ...

  V = V2 -V1 = (π/4)(d2²)h -(π/4)d1²)h = (π/4)(d2² -d1²)h

  V = (π/4)((6 cm)² -(2 cm)²)(5 cm) = (π/4)(36 -4)(5) cm³ = 40π cm³ ≈ 126 cm³
