The half life of the radioactive isotope to the nearest tenth is 0.83 days.

<h3>What is rate of radioactive decay?</h3>

The rate of radioactive decay is the rate at which a radioactive isotope is disintegrated. The half life is the time taken for half of the original amount of radioactive isotope to remain.

Given that;

t/12 = 0.693/k

Where;

t1/2 - half life

k =decay constant

t/12 = 0.693/0.84

t/12 = 0.83 days

The measure of an interor angle of a regular polygon is given. Find the number of sides in the polygon.

EleoNora [17]

Let side be n

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 120n=(n-2)180$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 120n=180n-360$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -60n=-360$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto n=6$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 160n=(n-2)180$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 160n=180n-240$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -20n=-240$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto n=12$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 144n=(n-2)180$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 144n=180n-360$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -36n=-360$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto n=10$

Part A: After 9 days the radius of algae was approximately 12.81 mm. The reasonable domain to point is (0,9).

Part B: The 9 on the y-intercept represents the amount of algae the experiment started with.

Part C: (12.81-10.12)/7=0.38
