Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As an example, iodine-131 is a radioisotope with a half-life of 8 days. It decays by beta particle emission into xenon-131. After eight days have passed, half of the atoms of any sample of iodine-131 will have decayed, and the sample will now be 50% iodine-131 and 50% xenon-131.
50 grams to 25 grams is one half-life. 25 grams to 12.5 grams is another half-life. So, for 50 grams to decay to 12.5 grams, two half-lives, which would take 36 days total, would need to pass. This means each half-life for element X is 18 days.
Answer:
4k-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = ± 4
Step-by-step explanation:
given 3x² = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± 
= ± 4
x ∈ {- 4, 4 }
Answer: 0
Step-by-step explanation: hope it helps
Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x + 5 
) = 
Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x + 5 ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )
6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 
= -
