A radioactive material has a half life of 10 years. What is the fraction of the initial isotope is left after 60 years

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = ½

20 = ¼

30 = ⅛

40 = 1/16

50 = 1/32

60 = 1/64

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

0.015625 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we start with say 100g of the material, in 10 years there is 100 * 1/2 =

50g left   ( = 0.5 left).

In 20 years there is 100*(1/2)^2 = 25 g  left.

In n*10 years there is  100(1/2)^2 g

So in 60 years there is 100(1/2)^6 = 1.5625 g left

This is 1.5625 %

= 0.015625 of the origin material left.

A card is drawn from the box and the number is 10.

B.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is even.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is 4.

C.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is even.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is 8.

D.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is a multiple of 3.
A card is drawn from the box and the number is 6.

Answers

It's answer will be option A.

As in option A, both statements can not be true at the same time.
In option A, first statement is that the card drawn has odd number and second statement is card drawn is 10, which can not be possible at the same time.

In option B, both statements can be true at the same time.
In option B, first statement is that the card drawn has an even number and second statement is card drawn is 4, which can be possible at the same time.

In option C, both statements can be true at the same time.
In option C, first statement is that the card drawn has an even number and second statement is card drawn is 8, which can be possible at the same time.

In option D, both statements can be true at the same time.
In option D, first statement is that the card drawn has a number which is multiple of 3 and second statement is card drawn is 6, which can be possible at the same time.

So, the events of option A are mutually exclusive.

What is (f+g) (x)???

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to the answer, add both f(x) and g(x) together. This would be (2x^2 +3x -4) + (-4x^2 + 5x - 8). Remember that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the positive of that number, for example, 3 + (-4) is the same as 3 - 4.
