Answer:

t= 3.1 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A_0 e kt

Half life(1/2) = 26 yrs

1/2 = 1_0 e^k.26

ln(1/2) = ln(e^26k)

26k. ln(e) = ln(1/2)

k = 1/26* ln(1/2)

k = -0.0267

A = A_0 e^kt

0.92 = 1.e^(-0.0267)t

ln(0.92) = ln(e^(-0.0267)t

-0.0267t .ln(e) = ln(0.92)

t = ln(0.92) / -0.0267

t = 3.122

t = 3.1years (approximate to 1 d.p)

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (13 - 8)/(2-1) = 5

Equation:

y - 8 = 5(x - 1)

y - 8 = 5x - 5

y = 5x - 5 + 8

y = 5x + 3 <-----------the slope-intercept form
