Answer:

4.7935 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that describes exponential decay is the following:

N(t) = No * e^{-kt}

Where N(t) is the mass of the substance after a period t of time.

No is the original amount of substance

k is the relative decay rate and t is the period of time elapsed.

The half life is the period of time after which the amount of substance has decreased by half.

We can issolate t in the expression, using the properties of logarithms:

\frac{N(t)}{No}=e^{-kt}

ln(\frac{N(t)}{No}) = -k*t

t = - ln(\frac{N(t)}{No})/k = - ln(\frac{1}{2})/0.1446 = 4.7935 days.

The applicable decay formula is:N = No*e^(-kt)WhereN = Mass left after time tNo = Original massk = constantt = half lifeUsing the values given,N/No = e^(-0.1446t) = 1/2ln (1/2) = -0.1446 t *ln e^1-0.6931 = -0.1446 tt = 0.6331/0.1446 = 4.79 daysTherefore, half-life is 4.8 days.

Solve x - 3 < -1. Graph the solution.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: x < 2

Explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from <em>x</em>, we add 3

to both sides of the inequality to get <em>x < 2</em>.

Before we graph, write your answer in set notation.

We can write this as {x: x < 2}.

It's important to understand what this means.

This means that any number less than 2 is a solution to this inequality.

I have graphed the inequality for you below.

Start with an open dot on +2.

We use an open dot because +2 is not included as a solution.

Then draw an arrow going to the left.
