Situation: A 25 gram sample of a substance thats used for to sterilize surgircal instruments has a k-value of 0.1205. N=Noe^-kt

No=initial mass( at time t=0) N=mass at time t k=a positive constant that depends on the substance itself and on the units used to measure time t=time, in days Find the substance's half-life,in days.Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Going by the formula, Half-Life = ln(.5) / k
Half-Life = .693147 / .1205
Half-Life = 5.75 days and rounded to nearest tenth,
Half-Life = 5.8 days

Answer:

\$11.13

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the surface area of the cylinder

The surface area of the cylinder is equal to

SA=\pi r^{2} +2\pi rh

we have

r=3/2=1.5\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

h=5\ in

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

SA=(3.14)(1.5)^{2} +2(3.14)(1.5)(5)=54.165\ in^{2}

<em>Find the cost</em>

54.165*(0.75)=\$40.62

step 2

Find the surface area of the square prism

The surface area of the prism is equal to

SA=b^{2} +4bh

we have

b=3\ in\\ h=5\ in

substitute

SA=(3)^{2} +4(3)(5)=69\ in^{2}

<em>Find the cost</em>

69*(0.75)=\$51.75

step 3

Find the difference of costs

\$51.75-\$40.62=\$11.13
