How much of a radioactive kind of thorium will be left after 14,680 years if you start with

Mathematics

Answer:

8978 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the half-life is:

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-kt}

N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>

N_{0} = initial amount of substance

t = time

It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.

N(t)= N_{0}e^{-\frac{ln(\frac{1}{2}) }{t_{h} } t} or more simply N(t)= N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{t_{h} } }

t_{h} = time of the half-life

We know that N_{0} = 35,912, t = 14,680, and t_{h}=7,340

Plug these into the equation:

N(t) = 35912(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{14680}{7340} }

Using a calculator we get:

N(t) = 8978

Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.

The answer is 38,400

The scale is 1:40 so the side that is 4 in becomes 160 and the side that is 6 in becomes 240
Multiply 160 and 240 and that is the area of the room

Hope this helps

A quadratic equation of the form 0 = ax2 + bx + c has one real number solution. Which could be the equation?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The equation showing this situation is  D=b^2-4ac=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c=0  has one real number solution.

To find : Which could be the equation?  

Solution :

A quadratic equation in form ax^2+bx+c=0 has a solution x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} called a quadratic formula  in which the roots are one real,two real or no real is determine by discriminant factor.

Discriminant is defined as to determine the number of roots in a quadratic equitation has following rules :

1) If D=b^2-4ac>0 there are two real roots.

2) If D=b^2-4ac=0 there are one real roots.

3) If D=b^2-4ac there are no real roots.

According to question,

A quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c=0  has one real number solution.

So, The equation showing this situation is  D=b^2-4ac=0
