To solve this we are going to use the half life equation
Where:
is the initial sample
is the time in years
is the half life of the substance
is the remainder quantity after
years
From the problem we know that:
Lets replace those values in our equation to find
:
We can conclude that after 1600 years of radioactive decay, the mass of the 100-gram sample will be
91.7 grams.
Answer:
Y = 6 and x=6 are perpendicular because they both measure at a 90 degree angle
1.50y(2)+2.00x=20
Now use the quadratic formula to solve
It depends on which variable is eliminated.
If you multiply the second equation by -1 and eliminate the y:
3x - y = 7
-6x + y = -10
-3x = -3 or x = 1
If you multiply the first equation by -2 and eliminate the x:
-6x + 2y = -14
6x - y = 10
y = -4
