Anyone knows about limitation and continuity?
1 answer:
If you just plug x=1 in the expression, you can see that, as x approaches 1, the whole expression approaches the following quantity:
Now, how can we find the value of y? We need some additional request. For example, if we knew that this limit had to equal 3, then we would have written
and solved for y. But without something like this, we can only compute the limit and get rid of x, but y stays.

half lives are normally written in years
it goes likt this
A=final amount
P=initila amount
t=time elapsed
h=time half life is (same units as time)
let's use days as the units of time
we are given
initial amount=1gram
final amount=0.3gram
time=4 days
so
solve for h
take the ln of both sides
times both sides by h
divide both sides by ln(0.3)
use calculator
h=2.30287
3 sig figs
h=2.303 days
