The radioactive isotope, cesium-134, has a half-life to 2.062 years. How much cesium-134 will remain in a 255 kg sample after 1.5 years?

answer: 48

just remember to use pemdas:

subtraction

you didn't give me the choices, so i will just give you the graph so you can look at your choices and choose the right one.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
