A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 2% per 100 years. if t represents time in years and y represents the amount of

the isotope left then the equation for the situation is y=y0e-0.0002t . in how many years will there be 89% of the isotope left? round to the nearest year.

We rewrite the equation:
 y = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 In this equation:
 I = represents the initial amount of the isotope
 We have then:
 89% of the isotope left:
 0.89 * y0 = y0 * e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)
 We clear the time:
 e ^ (- 0.0002 * t) = 0.89
 Ln (e ^ (- 0.0002 * t)) = Ln (0.89)
 -0.0002 * t = Ln (0.89)
 t = Ln (0.89) / (- 0.0002)
 t = 582.6690813
 round to the nearest year:
 t = 583 years
 Answer:
 
There will be 89% of the isotope left in about:
 
t = 583 years

kozerog [31]

Answer:

your answer is 415 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

ok the equation  in finding the volume of a come is

V= \pi r^2 \frac{h}{3}

step 1: plugin

\pi =3.14

3.14 x 6^2 x 11/3

3.14x 36 x 11/3 =   (6/3 turns into a 2)

113.04x 11/3= 114. 48, when rounded, it's going to give you 415 in^3

2. What is the value of x? Show your work.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Find the scale factor

30 ÷ 25 = 1.2

→ Multiply answer by 20

20 × 1.2 = 24

→ Equate equation to 24

4x - 4 = 24

→ Add 4 to both sides

4x = 28

→ Divide both sides by 4

x = 7
