(126) times (1/2 to the x/11 power) = 15% times 126
(1/2) to the x/11 power = 0.15
Take the log of both sides :
(x/11) times log(1/2) = log(0.15)
Multiply both sides by 11 :
'x' times log(1/2) = 11 x log(0.15)
Divide both sides by " log(1/2) " :
x = 11 x log(0.15)/log(1/2) = <em><u>30.107 years</u></em> (rounded)
That's the time it takes for <em><u>any-size</u></em> sample of this substance
to decay to 15% of its original size.
Answer:
Decreases
Step-by-step explanation:
As 'n' increases the value of the (1/4) will decrease.
Say, n=1 ; 1/4
n=2 ; 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16(because n=2, there are two 1/4s)
n= and so on
To be honest with u I think that u need to multiply 10 times 48.. I think thats it not sure if is the 100% correct answer
