the half life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for a quantity of the substance to decay to half of the initial amount . The half-life of the radioactive gas radon is approximately 3.8 days. The initial amount of radon used in an experiment is 75 grams. if N represents the number of grams of radon remaining t days after the start of the experiment,
a. Write an equation that gives N in terms of t.
b. How much gas radon approximately remains after 3.8 days?
c. approximately when will the amount of radon remaining be 10 grams?

Answers

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that:

a) [tex]N(t) = 75(0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}}[/tex]

b) 37.5 grams of the gas remains after 3.8 days.

c) The amount remaining will be of 10 grams after approximately 11 days.

What is an exponential function?

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Item a:

We start with 75 grams, and then work with a half-life of 3.8 days, hence the amount after t daus is given by:

[tex]N(t) = 75(0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}}[/tex]

Item b:

This is N when t = 3.8, hence:

[tex]N(t) = 75(0.5)^{\frac{3.8}{3.8}} = 37.5[/tex]

37.5 grams of the gas remains after 3.8 days.

Item c:

This is t for which N(t) = 10, hence:

[tex]N(t) = 75(0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}}[/tex]

[tex]10 = 75(0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}} = \frac{10}{75}[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.5)^{\frac{t}{3.8}}} = \log{\frac{10}{75}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{t}{3.8}\log{0.5} = \log{\frac{10}{75}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 3.8\frac{\log{\frac{10}{75}}}{\log{0.5}}[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 11[/tex]

The amount remaining will be of 10 grams after approximately 11 days.

2a

let

a=1

b=2

c= -24

Hello!

[tex]==========================================[/tex]

In order to solve this equation for w, we need to factor it.

First, let's think of 2 numbers that multiply to -24 and add to 2.

These numbers are -4 and 6.

Check:

6×(-4)=-24 ✓

6+(-4)=6-4=2✓

Now, factor:

That's how it should look like:

(w+   )( w-   )

Now, instead of the blanks, plug in -4 & 6:

(w-4)(w+6)

Now, set each factor equal to 0:

w-4=0

w=4

The answer are

12(x + 24) ❌

x(12 + 36) ❌

3(4x + 12)

4(3x + 9)

4(3x + 9x) (Again?)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 36 equals 12(x + 3) (Keep that in mind)

12(x + 24) is not correct because the result is 12x + 288. Therefore, the first option is incorrect. ❌

x(12 + 36) isn't correct either. This is because the result is 48x. Therefore, the second option is incorrect too. ❌

3(4x + 12) is correct because the result is 12x+36, but wait! Remember how I told you to keep 12(x + 3) in mind? Well, when you solve 12x+36, the result is 12(x + 3). Therefore, the third option is correct.

4(3x + 9) is correct because the result is 12x+36 just like the third option, but wait! Since it is the same as the third option, that means that the result will be 12(x + 3). Therefore, the fourth option is correct too.✅

4(3x + 9) is correct because the result is 12x+36 just like the third option, but wait! Since it is the same as the third option, that means that the result will be 12(x + 3). Therefore, the fourth option is correct too. (Again?) ✅

[tex]a=36\: \sf ms^{-2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\textsf{Displacement}\:x=4t^3-27t+8[/tex]

[tex]\implies \textsf{Velocity}\:v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}=12t^2-27[/tex]

[tex]\implies \textsf{Acceleration}\:a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}=24t[/tex]

At the moment the direction of motion of P reverses, the velocity of P will be zero.   Therefore, find the value of t when v = 0:

[tex]\implies v=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies 12t^2-27=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies t^2=\dfrac{27}{12}=\dfrac94[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac94}=\pm\dfrac32[/tex]

As time is positive, P reverses when t = 3/2 s

To find acceleration at this time, simply substitute the found value of t into the equation for acceleration:

[tex]\implies a=24(\frac32)[/tex]
