Answer:

Answer:1.5*10^9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The half life of the substance is given i.e 4.5B years. You can change it into seconds by multiplying it with 365 and 86400.

The current no of particles is given 78.88% which will be equal to 78.88 if you assume the substance had 100 no of particle initially.

Determine the decay constant by dividing 0.69 by half life

use these values in the equation for the answer.

[ln and e are inverse functions to eachother]

A supermarket finds that the number of boxes of a new cereal sold increases each week. in the first week, only 16 boxes of the c
vaieri [72.5K]
For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
 an = 17n-1
 Let's check it:
 First week:
 n = 1:
 a1 = 17 (1) -1
 a1 = 17-1
 a1 = 16
 Second week:
 n = 2:
 a2 = 17 (2) -1
 a2 = 34-1
 a2 = 33
 Third week:
 n = 3:
 a3 = 17 (3) -1
 a3 = 51-1
 a3 = 50
 Answer:
 
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
 
an = 17n-1
