I took the liberty of finding for the complete question.
And here I believe that the problem asks for the half life of Curium. Assuming
that the radioactive decay of Curium is of 1st order, therefore the
rate equation is in the form of:
A = Ao e^(-kt)
where,
A = amount after t years = 2755
Ao = initial amount = 3312
k = rate constant
t = number of years passed = 6
Therefore the rate constant is:
2755/3312 = e^(-6k)
-6k = ln (2755/3312)
k = 0.0307/yr
The half life, t’, can be calculated using the formula:
t’ = ln 2 / k
Substituting the value of k:
t’ = ln 2 / 0.0307
t’ = 22.586 years
or
t’ = 22.6 years
Answer:
6hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
60km x 5 = 300km distance
50km x 6 = 300km distance
If
is the common difference between terms in the sequence
, then

You're told that
(the sum of the first 16 terms in the sequence, presumably). Well, we know that
Recall that
so that we have
So we get
