Answer:

x = 13ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The isosceles triangle is a polygon with three sides, two being equal and the other unequal.

The angles P and N will also be equal and the M other different.

PM ≅ MN

∠P ≅ ∠N

PN = 2x

because the line starting at M divides the triangle into two sections

26 = 2x

2x = 26

x = 26 /2

x = 13ft

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day. If an experiment starts out with 810 grams of

ioda

Answer:

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is $A(t) = 810(0.74)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation of decay:

The exponential equation for the amount of a substance is given by:

$A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t$

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Hourly rate of change:

Decreases 26% by day. A day has 24 hours. This means that $A(24) = (1-0.26)A(0) = 0.74A(0)$ ; We use this to find r.

$A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t$

$0.74A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{24}$

$(1-r)^{24} = 0.74$

$\sqrt[24]{(1-r)^{24}} = \sqrt[24]{0.74}$

$1 - r = (0.74)^{\frac{1}{24}}$

$1 - r = 0.9875$

$r = 1 - 0.9875 = 0.0125$

The hourly decay rate is of 1.25%, so the hourly rate of change is of -1.25%.

Starts out with 810 grams of Element X

This means that $A(0) = 810$

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that its mass decreases by 26% every day.

This means that we use, for this equation, r = 0.26.

The equation is:

$A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t$

$A(t) = 810(1 - 0.26)^t$

$A(t) = 810(0.74)^t$

The function to represent the mass of the sample after t days is $A(t) = 810(0.74)^t$

The ratio of dogs to cats being treated at a veterinarian's office this week is 5 : 2. Suppose there are 168 dogs and cats sched

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

48 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

Am interesting factoid about ratios:

The ratio $a:b$ can be separated into fractional parts of $\frac{a}{a + b}$ and $\frac{b}{a + b}$ . We need to know the cat part. $\frac{2}{5 + 2} = \frac{2}{7}$ , so that is the fraction part. Then, we multiply this fraction by 168 to get the total number of cats. This number is 48.

Which statements are true based on the diagram? Check all that apply.

GrogVix [38]

First statement: False. Points K, M and N form a triangle.
Second statement: True. Points J, K, and Q are on the same line.
Third statement: False. KN and MQ intersect at N, not at R.
Fourth statement: False. JQ and KM intersect at K, but MQ does not pass through it.
Fifth statement: True. By definition, there is always only 1 line that can be drawn between 2 given points.
