Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 13 minutes. If there are 970 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to
decay to 98 grams?

Marcus needs to rewrite f(x) = x2 + 6x + 4 in vertex form.

What is the 9th term in the geometric sequence described by this explicit formula? an=-6. (2)(n-1) apex

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
