This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive an

y points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to cone back to the skipped part. The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 30 mg sample. Exercise
(a) Find the mass that remains after t years. Step 1 Let y(t) be the mass (in mg) remaining after t years. Then we know the following Stop 2 Since the half-life is 30 years, then y(30) - More Information m Your answer cannot be understood or graded Submit Skie (you cannot come back) Exercise
(b) How much of the sample remains after 20 years? Step 1 After 20 years we have the following (20) 30 mg (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

(a)y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)

(b)y(20)=18.9mg

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time t, the mass of a radioactive substance like Cesium-137 is governed by the equation:

N=N₀e⁻ᵏᵗ where k=ln 2/half life

(a)Mass that remains after t years

Half Life= 30 years

k= ln2/30=0.0231

Initial Mass, N₀=30mg

Therefore the mass N that remains at time t

N=N₀e⁻ᵏᵗ

N=30exp(-0.0231t)

y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)

(b)We want to determine how much of the sample remains after 20 years.

At t=20 years

y(t)=30exp(-0.0231t)

y(20)=30exp(-0.0231X20)

=30 X 0.63

y(20)=18.9mg

Help me please thank you
Paladinen [302]
The answer is B, or 2x + 3y - 5 = 0. This is because when you substitute both points in for x and y, you get the values of 0=0, which is true!

The table contains some points on the graph of an exponential function.
baherus [9]

Answer:

B.   y = 10(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ab^x

to find "b" divide the function at x = 3 by the function at x = 2

80 = ab^3

——————

40 = ab^2

This results in

2 = b

to find "a" plug pickany value of x

using x = 2

40 = a(2²)

40 = a(4)

a = 10

With a = 10 and b = 2 the exponential function y = ab^x is

y = 10(2)^x
