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}

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

.0000000418

Step-by-step explanation:

So you will start from the decimal and move 8 places to the left.

E-8 is the same as 10^-8 so you will move to the left

If it was E8 you would move to the right 8 places.

real estate julie bought a house for $100,00 five years ago. if the value of the house has appreciated 5% per year , how much is
Stels [109]
To find the answer, turn the appreciated percent into a decimal:

5% ----> .05 (Divide by 100)

Then multiply it by the total value:

100,000 x .05 = 5000

Then add that to the total:

105,000

So the house is worth a total of $105,000.

Hope this helps!
