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

Find the four arithmetic means between -21 and -36.

lara31 [8.8K]

The numbers given in the problem above are part of an arithmetic sequence with first and sixth terms equal to -21 and -36, respectively. Firstly, calculate for the common difference (d).

d = (-36 - -21) / (6 - 1) = -3

The arithmetic mean is calculated by adding -3 to the term prior to it.

a2 = -21 + -3 = -24 a3 = -24 + -3 = -27
a4 = -27 + -3 = -30 a5 = -30 + -3 = -33

Thus the four arithmetic means are -24, -27, -30, and -33.
