Technetium-99m, a radioisotope used to image the skeleton and the heart muscle, has a half-life of about 6 hours. Find the decay

constant. Use the decay function N(t)=N0e−kt to determine the amount of a 250 mg dose that remains after 24 hours. 16 mg  or 63 mg or 125 mg or 3998 mg
plz show how to solve the equations

The decay constant is i 0.1155, and there would be 16 mg left after 24 hours.

The relationship between the half-life, T₀.₅, and the decay constant, λ, is given by

T₀.₅ = 0.693/λ.

Solving for λ, we will multiply both sides by λ first:
(T₀.₅)(λ) = 0.693

Since we know the half life is 6 hours, this gives us:
6λ = 0.693

Dividing by 6, we have
λ = 0.693/6 = 0.1155.

The decay constant will be k in our decay formula, and N₀, the original amount of substance, is 250:
N(24) = 250e^(-0.1155*24) = 15.6 ≈ 16

Four more than twice a number is less than negative twelve. Find all numbers that make this statement true.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

x<-8

Step-by-step explanation:

four more than twice a number = 4+2X

is less than negative twelve = <-12

4+2X<-12

(4-4)+2X< -12-4

2x<-16

X<-8

The scale factor of a model of a swimming pool to the actual swimming pool is 1 to 20. The
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.05\ m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ---> the volume of the model of a swimming pool

y ---> the volume of the actual swimming pool

so

z^3=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{1}{20}

y=400/ m^3

substitute

(\frac{1}{20})^3=\frac{x}{400}

solve for x

\frac{1}{8,000}=\frac{x}{400}

x=\frac{400}{8,000}

x=0.05\ m^3
