Radioactive Decay Beginning with 16 grams of a radioactive element whose half -life is 30 years ,the mass y(in grams) remaining

after t years is given by
y=23(1/2)^t/45, t ≥ 0.

Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem.  With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams  → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years  → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Answer:

<em>Thus, f and g are inverse functions</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inverse Functions</u>

If two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverses, then it follows that:

f\circ g(x)=x

Or:

g\circ  f(x)=x

We are given

\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{4}x-6

g(x)=4x+24

Let's test if they are inverse functions:

f\circ g(x)=\frac{1}{4}(4x+24)-6

Simplifying:

f\circ g(x)=x+6-6=x

Now find:

\displaystyle g\circ f(x)=4\left(\frac{1}{4}x-6\right)+24

Operating:

\displaystyle g\circ f(x)=x-24+24=x

Thus, f and g are inverse functions
