Answer:

\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}

How do I solve this problem?
Andrews [41]

so the line is dog so we know the full line is 60 units long. The 2 parts (do and og) add up to the full length so we can make the equation:

(4x-3)+(2x+21)=60

6x+18=60

6x=42

x=7

if you need to fine do or og, just plug in x to its equation

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if a = 3 and b = 4.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

5..(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that

Hypotenuse(squared)=opposite(squared)+ adjacent(squared)

hypotenuse=?,opposite=3,adjacent=4

hyp(squared)=3(squared)+4(squared)

hyp(squared)=9+16

hyp(squared)=25

find the square root of both sides

hypotenuse=5
