Mathematics

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Answer: 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

t_{\frac{1}{2} } = In2 / ∧

since the half life is given , we have :

22 = In 2/ ∧

∧ = In2/22

∧ = 0.032

Recall the formula for half life:

\frac{N(t)}{N(0)} = e^{-∧t}

Therefore:

0.80 = e^{-0.032t}

Take the In of both sides

In 0.80 = - 0.032t

t = In 0.80 / - 0.032

t = 7 years

Use the graph of the sine function y = 2 sin θ shown below.
Ksju [112]
Based on the given graph above, here are the answers for the following questions:
A. Based on the graph, there is only 1 cycle in it. It started at y=0 and ends in its starting point again which is still y=0. 
B. This cycle is 2 units long so this means that the period of the graph is 2pi units long.
C. The amplitude is defined as the distance from the center to the peak of the valley in the graph. So basing on it, the amplitude would be 2.
Hope these answers help.

H = positive (14) because -98 / -7 is 14
U = is (-144) because it has u multiply 6 instead of dividing to remove it. If you do it ot one side you must do it to all other sides.
