Answer:

-2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like factors.

-10x + 8 = 37

Subtract 8 from both sides.

-10x = 29

Divide both sides by -10.

x = -2.9

Answer:

x = -29/10 = -2 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like terms

-10x +8 = 37

Subtract 8 from each side

-10x + 8-8 = 37-8

-10x = 29

Divide each side by -10

-10x/-10 = 29/-10

x = -29/10

x = -2 9/10

A sample of tritium-3 decayed to 94.5% of its original amount after a year.

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass after $t$ days and $y(0) = A$ then $y(t) = Ae^{kt}.$

$y(1) = Ae^k = 0.945A \implies e^k = 0.945 \implies k = \ln 0.945$

$\text{Then } Ae^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \frac{1}{2}A\ \Leftrightarrow\ \ln e^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \ln \frac{1}{2}\ \Leftrightarrow\ ( \ln 0.945) t = \ln \frac{1}{2} \Leftrightarrow \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 12.25 \text{ years}$

(b)
$Ae^{(\ln 0.945) t} = 0.20 A \ \Leftrightarrow\ (\ln 0.945) t \ln \frac{1}{5}\ \implies \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 28.45\text{ years}$
