Answer: t-half = ln(2) / λ ≈ 0.693 / λ

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, so I did some research and found the complete question in internet.

The complete question is:

Suppose a radioactive sample initially contains N0unstable nuclei. These nuclei will decay into stable nuclei, and as they do, the number of unstable nuclei that remain, N(t), will decrease with time. Although there is no way for us to predict exactly when any one nucleus will decay, we can write down an expression for the total number of unstable nuclei that remain after a time t:

N(t)=No e−λt,

where λ is known as the decay constant. Note that at t=0, N(t)=No, the original number of unstable nuclei. N(t) decreases exponentially with time, and as t approaches infinity, the number of unstable nuclei that remain approaches zero.

Part (A) Since at t=0, N(t)=No, and at t=∞, N(t)=0, there must be some time between zero and infinity at which exactly half of the original number of nuclei remain. Find an expression for this time, t half.

Express your answer in terms of N0 and/or λ.

Answer:

1) Equation given:

N(t)=N _{0} e^{-  \alpha  t} ← I used α instead of λ just for editing facility..

Where No is the initial number of nuclei.

2) Half of the initial number of nuclei: N (t-half) =  No / 2

So, replace in the given equation:

N_{t-half} =  N_{0} /2 =  N_{0}  e^{- \alpha t}

3) Solving for α (remember α is λ)

\frac{1}{2} =  e^{- \alpha t} 

2 =   e^{ \alpha t} 

 \alpha t = ln(2)

αt ≈ 0.693

⇒ t = ln (2) / α ≈ 0.693 / α ← final answer when you change α for λ

Can i have the answer to this <br> pic is below
eduard

Answer:

question 1: m = 3/2

question 2: m = 1/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is of form

y = mx+c

where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.

Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.

____________________________________

given

y = 3/2 x

comparing it with y = mx+c

we have m = 3/2 .

since y = 3/2 x does not have constant term so it can be taken as 0. hence c is 0

_________________________________________

slope for any two point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on coordinate plane is given by

slope = (x2-x1)/y2-y1)

From the given table lets take two point as (2,190) and(4,380)

Thus, slope m is given by

m = (4-2)/(380-190) = 2/190 = 1/95

m = 1/95

Though, slope can be taken by dividing y by x (y/x). It is good practice to use two point form formula as given above . Provided two points are given

Please mark it the brainliest.

X^2 + 1/4 or 7 or 7/2 x + 49
wolverine [178]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Squaring a number (a+b) for example is a^2+2ab+b^2. So you square root x^2 and 49, you get x and seven respectively. you multiply them together and on top of that multiply the product by 2. so 7x*2 is 14x and ye
