Answer:

5/2 OR 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

( x + 2y ) = 7 , ( x - 2y ) = 5

x = 7 - 2y , x = 5 + 2y

substitute the two eqns together:

7 - 2y = 5 + 2y

7 - 5 = 2y + 2y

2 = 4y

y = 1/2

when y = 1/2 ,

5y = 5(1/2)

= 5/2 OR 2.5

Initially 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was present. After 6 hours the mass had decreased by 3%. If the rate of deca

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The half-life of the radioactive substance is 135.9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of decay is proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t

This means that the amount of the substance can be modeled by the following differential equation:

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = -rt$

Which has the following solution:

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

In which Q(t) is the amount after t hours, Q(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

After 6 hours the mass had decreased by 3%.

This means that $Q(6) = (1-0.03)Q(0) = 0.97Q(0)$ . We use this to find r.

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

$0.97Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-6r}$

$e^{-6r} = 0.97$

$\ln{e^{-6r}} = \ln{0.97}$

$-6r = \ln{0.97}$

$r = -\frac{\ln{0.97}}{6}$

$r = 0.0051$

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}$

Determine the half-life of the radioactive substance.

This is t for which Q(t) = 0.5Q(0). So

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}$

$0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}$

$e^{-0.0051t} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{-0.0051t}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-0.0051t = \ln{0.5}$

$t = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{0.0051}$

$t = 135.9$

The half-life of the radioactive substance is 135.9 hours.
