The starting weight of the radioactive isotope = 96 grams
Weight after one hour is half of the starting weight. So the weight of the radioactive isotope after 1 hour = 48 grams
After 2 hours the weight is half as compared to the weight after previous hour. So weight after 2 hours = 24 grams.
This means, after every hour the weight is being halved. The half life of radioactive isotope is one hour.
Since after every hour, the weight is being halved, the weight of the isotope can be modeled by an exponential equation.
So,
Initial Weight = W₁ = 96
Change factor = 1/2 = 0.5
The general equation of the sequence will be:

Here t represents the number of hours. Using various values of t we can find the weight of the radioactive isotope at that time.
We can plot the sequence using the above equation. The graph is attached below.
Your answer would be:
5.2*10^(-3)
hope this helps!
happy thanksgiving
Answer: -1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
14/20 - 81/90=
7/10-9/10= ==> 10 is the GCF of 20 and 90
(7-9)/10=
-2/10=-1/5
The correct answer would be b. range. you take the largest amount and subtract the smallest amount giving you the range.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of cookies = 4250
butter cookies, b
Almond cookies, a
Chocolate cookies, c
It made 715 more butter cookies than
almond cookies
b = a + 715
It made 5 times as many chocolate cookies as almond
5a = c
Total amount of cookies
= a + b + c
= a + (a+715) + (5a)
= 7a + 715
7a + 715 = 4250
7a = 4250-715
a = 3535 / 7
a = 505
c = 5a
= 5 (505)
= 2525
The factory make 2525 chocolate cookies.
