You are trying to determine the half-life of a new radioactive element you have isolated. You start with 1 gram, and 5 days late

r you determine that it has decayed down to 0.6 grams. What is its half-life?

Half-life = elapsed time * log(2) / log (bgng amt / ending amt)
half-life = (5 * <span> <span> <span> 0.3010</span></span></span>3) / log (1/.6)
half-life = (5 * <span> <span> 0.3010</span></span>3) / log (1/.6)
<span>half-life = 1.505 / </span> <span> <span> <span> 0.221848750 </span> </span> </span>
half-life = <span> <span> <span> 6.785 days

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y

B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that ||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}. Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then ||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||.

C) Consider S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2. This set is orthogonal because (0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0, but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in \mathbb{R}^n. Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that A^{-1}=A^t. To see this, note than the component b_{ij} of the product A^t A is the dot product of the i-th row of A^t and the jth row of A. But the i-th row of A^t is equal to the i-th column of A. If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then A^t A=I    

E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.

In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set \{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\} and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0. For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then a_i||u_i||=0 then a_i=0.
