The function N(t) = 100e^−0.023t models the number of grams in a sample of cesium-137 that remain after t years. On which interval is the sample's average rate of decay the fastest?

Answers

Answer 1

Options:

A. [1,10]        B. [10,20]      C. [15,25]     D. [1,30]

Answer:

A. [1,10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]N(t) = 100e^{-0.023t}[/tex]

Required

Interval with the fastest rate of decay

The rate of change over [a,b] is calculated as:

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(b) - N(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

So, we have:

A. [1,10]        

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(10)-N(1)}{10 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(10)-N(1)}{9}[/tex]

Calculate N(10) and N(1)

[tex]N(10) = 100e^{-0.023*10} = 100e^{-0.23} = 79.45[/tex]

[tex]N(1) = 100e^{-0.023*1} = 100e^{-0.023} = 97.73[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{79.45-97.73}{9} = \frac{-18.28}{9} = -2.03[/tex]

B. [10,20]      

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(20)-N(10)}{20 - 10}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(20)-N(10)}{10}[/tex]

Calculate N(20) and N(10)

[tex]N(20) = 100e^{-0.023*20} = 100e^{-0.46} = 63.13[/tex]

[tex]N(10) = 100e^{-0.023*10} = 100e^{-0.23} = 79.45[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{63.13 - 79.45}{10} = \frac{-16.32}{10} = -1.632[/tex]

C. [15,25]    

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(25)-N(15)}{25 - 15}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(25)-N(15)}{20}[/tex]

Calculate N(25) and N(15)

[tex]N(25) = 100e^{-0.023*25} = 100e^{-0.575} = 56.27[/tex]

[tex]N(15) = 100e^{-0.023*15} = 100e^{-0.345} = 70.82[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{56.27 - 70.82}{10} = \frac{-14.55}{10} = -1.455[/tex]

D. [1,30]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(30)-N(1)}{30 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(30)-N(1)}{29}[/tex]

Calculate N(30) and N(1)

[tex]N(30) = 100e^{-0.023*30} = 100e^{-0.69} = 50.16[/tex]

[tex]N(1) = 100e^{-0.023*1} = 100e^{-0.023} = 97.73[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{50.16 - 97.73}{29} = \frac{-47.57}{29} = -1.64[/tex]

By comparing the values of the calculated rates,

-2.03 is the smallest, in other words; the fastest rate

Hence, the interval [1,10] has the fastest rate of decay

Answer 2

The required average rate of change is the fastest on [tex][1,10][/tex].

The average rate of change :

The formula for the average rate of change on the interval [tex][a,b][/tex]  is,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{b-a}[/tex]

Now, applying the given function into the above function is,

Now, [tex]a=1,b=10[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{10-1} =-2.03[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=10,b=20[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{20-10} =-1.6325[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=15,b=25[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{25-15} =-1.455[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=1,b=30[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{30-1} =-1.64[/tex]

So the average rate of change is fastest on [tex][1,10][/tex]

How would you begin to plot the ordered pair ( 6,2)?

Answers

To graph a point you have a coordinate plane or graph not theirs a x axis with is a like going left to right and a y axis, a line starting up to down. I remember using the saying “run before you jump” meaning you run first starting at your origin(0,0). In this case your first number is 6 for which you would run until you’re at 6 on the x axis line or the line going left to right then jump to straight up because it’s a positive number. Because you’re jumping up you’re going to jump 2 on the y axis line or the line going up and down. Your point doesn’t need to be exactly on either line. Remember your first coordinate or number is the number you run with and the second the one you jump with

To find x we have to basically do pythagoream theorem twice. Both the traingles share the same long side. The find the long side of the top traingle do, [tex]a^{2} +16^{2} =25^{2}[/tex], and we find the long side to be [tex]\sqrt{369}[/tex]. Using this we now plug it into the pythagoream theorem for the bottom triangle. [tex]\sqrt{369} ^{2} +x^{2} =22^{2}[/tex], and doing this out we find that x=[tex]\sqrt{115}[/tex] or about 10.7.

The estimated probability that it would take at least three questions for Mary to need additional clues is (_____)

The estimated probability that Mary needed additional clues to answer two consecutive questions is (_____)

Answers

To solve this problem, we should note that there are:

total questions = 100

questions answered correctly = 90

questions that needed additional clues = 10

1. The first question is to find the probability that in the third question, Mary would need additional clue. Therefore this implies that in the first and second questions, Mary would answer it correctly. Therefore:

Probability = (question 1 answered correctly) * (question 2 answered correctly) * (question 3 needed clue)

Probability = (90/100)*(89/99)*(10/98)

Probability = 0.08256 = 8.26%

2. The second question finds for the probability that two consecutive needs additional clue, therefore:

Probability = (question 1 needed clue) * (question 2 needed clue)

Probability = (10/100)*(9/99)

Probability = 9.1*10^-3 = 0.91%

Answer:

1. The estimated probability that it would take at least three questions for Mary to need additional clues is 0.24

2. The estimated probability that Mary needed additional clues to answer two consecutive questions is 0.06

A triangle has an area of 230.86 square inches. The height of the triangle is 23.8 inches. What is the length of the base of the triangle?

I'll give brainlist!! Pls help

Answers

Answer:

Length of the base of the triangle = 19.37 inch (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of given triangle = 230.56 square inches

Height of the triangle = 23.8 inches

Find:

Length of the base of the triangle

Computation:

Area of triangle = (1/2)(b)(h)

Area of given triangle = (1/2)(Length of the base of the triangle)(Height of the triangle)

230.56 = (1/2)(Length of the base of the triangle)(23.8)

461.12 = (Length of the base of the triangle)(23.8)

(Length of the base of the triangle)(23.8) = 461.12

Length of the base of the triangle = 19.37 inch (Approx.)

from the Deck of 52 cards is drawn at a random . what is the probability of a face card or ace ?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total no. of cards = 52 (Total no. of outcomes)

There are 12 face cards. No of favorable outcomes = 12

P(E) = favorable outcome/total no of outcomes

So,

[tex]P(F)=\dfrac{12}{52}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{13}[/tex]

There is 4 ace in a deck of 52 cards.

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{4}{52}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{13}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
