Given:
Initial mass, m₀ = 23 g
Decay constant, k = 0.13

Exponential decay obeys the equation
$m(t)=m_{0} e^{-kt}$
where t = time, days

For half life, the mass is m = m₀/2.
Therefore
$e^{-0.13t} = \frac{1}{2} \\ -0.13t = ln(0.5)\\t= \frac{ln(0.5)}{-0.13} =5.33$

Answer: The half life is 5.33 days

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$SA=544\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a rectangular prism is equal to the area of its six rectangular faces

using the net

The surface area is equal to

$SA=2[(16)(6)]+2[(16)(8)]+2[(8)(6)]$

$SA=192+256+96$

$SA=544\ cm^2$

klio [65]

-2 | 8-x| - 6 = -12...add 6 to both sides
-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6
-2 |8-x| = - 6...divide both sides by -2
|8-x| = -6/-2
|8-x| = 3

8 - x = -3 -(8 - x) = -3
-x = -3-8 -8 + x = -3
-x = -11 x = -3 + 8
x = 11 x = 5
