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

-- The area of the long skinny piece on top is (6 x 33) = 198

-- The length of the dotted line between the top and bottom pieces is (33-21) = 12

-- The area of the bottom  piece is (12 x 15) = 180

-- The area of the whole thing is (198 + 180) = 378

-- The perimeter of the whole thing is (33 + 6 + 21 + 15 + 12 + 15 + 6) = 108
