Complete the table for the radioactive iotope. (Round your anwer to 2 decimal place. Iotope : 239 Pu
1 answer:
If the radio active isotope has the half life of 24100 years, then the initial quantity is 2.16 grams
The half life in years = 24100
Consider the quantity of the radio active isotope remaining
y =
When t = 1000 the y = 1.2
y = C/2 when t = 1599
Substitute the values in the equation
C/2 =
Cancel the C in both side
1/2 =
Here we have to apply ln to eliminate the e terms
ln (1/2) = 24100k
k = ln(1/2) / 24100
k = -2.87× 10^-5
To find the initial value we have to substitute the value of k and y in the equation
1.2 = Ce^{1000 × -2.87× 10^-5}
C = 1.2 / e^(-0.0287)
C = 2.16 gram
Hence, the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope is 2.16 gram

Answer:
The population model of wolves after t years is given by
D is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function can be represented as
a = initial amount
r = rate
t = time
Now, we have been given that
r = 2.5% = 0.025
a = 88
On substituting these values in the above exponential model
