Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for

carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.

100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t

Drag and drop the constant of proportionality into the box to match the table. If the table is not proportional, drag and drop "
Nikitich [7]

The table is proportional and the constant of proportionality is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables

where their ratios are equivalent

  • One variable is always a constant value times the other
  • The relation between the two variables represented graphically by a line passes through the origin point

The table:

→ x  :  0  :  2  :  4  :  6

→ y  :  0  :  3  :  6  :  9

To prove that y ∝ x find the ratio between each value of y with corresponding value of x

∵ \frac{3}{2}=1.5

∵ \frac{6}{4}=1.5

∵ \frac{9}{6}=1.5

∴ \frac{y}{x}=k

∴ k = 1.5

∵ The origin point is in the table

∴ y ∝ x

∴ The table is proportional

The table is proportional and the constant of proportionality is 1.5
