if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get
notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.
If the radio active isotope has the half life of 24100 years, then the initial quantity is 2.16 grams
The half life in years = 24100
Consider the quantity of the radio active isotope remaining
y =
When t = 1000 the y = 1.2
y = C/2 when t = 1599
Substitute the values in the equation
C/2 =
Cancel the C in both side
1/2 =
Here we have to apply ln to eliminate the e terms
ln (1/2) = 24100k
k = ln(1/2) / 24100
k = -2.87× 10^-5
To find the initial value we have to substitute the value of k and y in the equation
1.2 = Ce^{1000 × -2.87× 10^-5}
C = 1.2 / e^(-0.0287)
C = 2.16 gram
Hence, the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope is 2.16 gram
