Given f(x)=2x+7, which of the following is the value of x when f(x)=13?

The value of x is 3

Explanation:

Equation Solving

We are given the equation

f(x) = 2x + 7

Let's find the value of such that f(x) = 13.

2x + 7 = 13

Subtracting 7:

2x = 13 - 7

2x = 6

Dividing by 2:

x = 6/2

x = 3

The value of x is 3

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
