One hundred grams of radium are stored in a container. The amount RR (in grams) of radium present after tt years can be modeled

by R=100e−0.00043tR=100e−0.00043t. After how many years will only 5 grams of radium be present? Round your answer to the nearest whole year.

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount * e^k*t
5 grams = 100 grams * e^-.00043 * years

We have to solve the equation for "years"
(You can find the formula here: http://www.1728.org/halflif2.htm
or you can just read the next line

time = natural log (bgng amt / endg amt) / k
time = natural log (100 / 5) / .00043
time = natural log (20) / .00043
time = 2.9957322736 / .00043
time =  <span> <span> <span> 6,967</span></span></span><span> years
</span>
We should double-check this.
First, we need the half-life
k = ln(.5) / half-life
half-life = <span>-.693147 / -.00043
half-life = 1,612 years
Now let's see how many half-lives that is:
</span><span>6,967 / 1,612 years = 4.2 half-lives
So basically, after 4 half-lives the mass should go from

100
50  1 half life
25</span><span><span>  2 half lives</span>
12.5 </span><span>3 half lives
</span> 6.25 <span>4 half lives</span>

6.25 is very close to 5 grams so we can assume we have calculated correctly.

The truth table represents statements p, q, and r. p q r p ∧ q p ∧ r A T T T T T B T T F T F C T F T F T D T F F F F E F T T F F
maksim [4K]

The table shows the results of (p ^ q) and results of  (p ^ r) for all possible outcomes. We have to tell which of the outcomes of union of both these events will always be true.

(p ^ q) V (p ^ r) means Union of (p ^ q) and (p ^ r). The property of Union of two sets/events is that it will be true if either one of the event or both the events are true i.e. there must be atleast one True(T) to make the Union of two sets to be True. 

So, (p ^ q) V (p ^ r)  will be TRUE, if either one of  (p ^ q) and (p ^ r)  or both are true. From the given table we can see that only the outcomes A, B and C will result is TRUE. The rest of the outcomes will all result in FALSE.

Therefore, the answer to this question is option 2nd
