Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the same method as before. Go from each original point in a direction perpendicular to the line of reflection, and then go the same distance to the other side of the line.
Answer:
a) The half life of the substance is 22.76 years.
b) 5.34 years for the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of the radioactive substance after t years is modeled by the following equation:
In which P(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.
A sample of a radioactive substance decayed to 97% of its original amount after a year.
This means that:
Then
So
(a) What is the half-life of the substance?
This is t for which P(t) = 0.5P(0). So
The half life of the substance is 22.76 years.
(b) How long would it take the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount?
This is t for which P(t) = 0.85P(0). So
5.34 years for the sample to decay to 85% of its original amount
