We find the value of N₀ since we are provided with initial conditions.
The condition is that, at time t = 0, the amount of substance contains originally 10 grams.
We substitute:
10 = N₀ (e^(-0.1356)*0)
10 = N₀ (e^0)
N₀ = 10

When the substance is in half-life (meaning, the half of the original amount), it contains 5 grams. We solve t in this case.
5 = 10 e^(-0.1356*t)
0.5 = e^(-0.1356*t)
Multiply natural logarithms on both sides to bring down t.
ln(0.5) = -0.1356*t
Hence,
t = -(ln(0.5))/0.1356
t ≈ 5.11 days (ANSWER)

How do you find the surface area and volume of a cylinder ​
galina1969 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The surface area of a shape is the sum of the area of all of its faces. To find the area of a cylinder, you need to find the area of its bases and add that to the area of its outer wall. The formula for finding the area of a cylinder is A = 2πr2 + 2πrh.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
  • Surface area of a cylinder = 2πr 2 + 2πrh
  • Volume of a cylinder = πr 2 h
  • You need to know the radius and height to figure both the volume and surface area of a cylinder.
  • Answers for volume problems should always be in cubic units.
  • Answers for surface area problems should always be in square units.

What quadratic has roots x=8 and x= -5
Alona [7]

Answer:

So the correct option is X squared -3 X +40

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial has roots x=8 and x=-5, then we know that the factorized form is:

(x-8)(x+5)

So, to find the polynomial we need to expand the polynomials:

(x-8)(x+5) = (x^2 +5x - 8x + 40) = x^2 -3x + 40
