Answer:
2,674.14 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the formula for radioactive decay is
N = N₀ e^(-λt)
where,
N is the amount left at time t
N₀ is the initial amount when t=0, (given as 42,784 g)
λ = coefficient of radioactive decay
= 0.693 ÷ Half Life
= 0.693 ÷ 18
= 0.0385
t = time elapsed (given as 72 years)
e = exponential constant ( approx 2.7183)
If we substitute these into our equation:
N = N₀ e^(-λt)
= (42,787) (2.7183)^[(-0.0385)(72)]
= (42,787) (2.7183)^(-2.7726)
= (42,787) (0.0625)
= 2,674.14 g
Answer:
15000+1250x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the initial population is 15,000, we want to know how many people are going to Jonesville each year. Assuming that in 2001 and in 2002, each year adds 1,250 people and that it is constant. The equation is 15000+1250x in which 15,000 represents the initial number and 1250 is the amount of people added each year followed by x which is the number in years.
