Question

Need Help with finding half life or doubling time

Answer 1

Answer:

12.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find t such that y = 2·y₀. That is, you want to solve

... 2y₀ = y₀·e^(0.0567t)

Dividing by y₀, you have

... 2 = e^(0.0567t)

and taking the natural log gives ..

... ln(2) = 0.0567t

... ln(2)/0.0567 = t ≈ 12.2248 . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

The doubling time is approximately 12.2 hours.
