Answer:

Given that,

The number of grams A of a certain radioactive substance present at time, in years

from the present, t is given by the formula

A=45e^{-0.0045(t)}

a) To find the initial amount of this substance

At t=0, we get

A=45e^{-0.0045(0)}A=45e^0

We know that e^0=1 ( anything to the power zero is 1)

we get,

A=45

The initial amount of the substance is 45 grams

b)To find thehalf-life of this substance

To find t when the substance becames half the amount.

A=45/2

Substitute this we get,

\frac{45}{2}=45e^{-0.0045(t)}

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.0045(t)}

Taking natural logarithm on both sides we get,

\ln (\frac{1}{2})=-0.0045(t)^{}(-1)\ln (\frac{1}{2})=0.0045(t)\ln (\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=0.0045(t)\ln (2)=0.0045(t)0.6931=0.0045(t)t=\frac{0.6931}{0.0045}t=154.02

Half-life of this substance is 154.02

c) To find the amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years

Put t=2500

we get,

A=45e^{-0.0045(2500)}A=45e^{-11.25}A=45\times0.000013=0.000585A=0.000585

The amount of substance will be present around in 2500 years is 0.000585 grams

58 pts!!!! <br> Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's do the easiest part, finding the y-intercept, which shows up at the end of your slope intercept equation, y=mx+b, where slope is rise over run!

- Simply look for where the coordinate is on the y-intercept, which is at y = 1!

Then, we need to find our rise over run, which is basically counting from point a to point b. To get to the lower coordinate from the top, we go down two (-2), and over 4. Which means we "rose" -2, and "ran" 4! It's -2 because we went DOWN, and positive 4 because we went FORWARD. This gave us 2 over 4, which is the same as 1 over 2!

:D
