A 33 gram sample has k value of .1124
(Actually I think the problem SHOULD be worded: A 33 gram sample has k value of -.1124/days)
See attached graphic:
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.1124/days
Half-Life =

thirteen is equal to two plus six T. Hope this can help. Have a wonderful day. : )
Yes I think so because she started at 2 1/4 then hiked to 4 3/8. That is roughly 2 miles and then from there she joked all the way back to 11/2? But I could be wrong?????
Write the coeeficientes of the polynomial in order:
| 1 - 5 6 - 30
|

------------------------
After some trials you probe with 5
| 1 - 5 6 - 30
|
|
5 | 5 0 30
-----------------------------
1 0 6 0 <---- residue
Given that the residue is 0, 5 is a root.
The quotient is x^2 + 6 = 0, which does not have a real root.
Therefore, 5 is the only root. You can prove it by solving the polynomial x^2 + 6 = 0.
Your simplified answer is indeed 2/3 (or 60%, or 0.6) because the fraction 24/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which leaves you with 2/3.
