Answer:

0.75 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t₁/₂

n = 6/6

n = 1

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the sample remaining after 6 years (i.e 1 half-life) as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 1

Amount remaining (N) =.?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2¹ × 1.5

N = 1/2 × 1.5

N = 0.5 × 1.5

N = 0.75 mg

Thus, 0.75 mg of the sample is remaining.

What is the equation of the circle with center (16, - 12) and a radius of 5
eimsori [14]

Answer:

x^2+y^2-32x+24y+375=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of circle with given centre (h,k) and radius=r is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Given centre are=(16, - 12) and radius= 5

So equation of circle=

(x-16)^2+(y- -12)^2=5^2

x^2-32x+256+y^2+24y+144=25

x^2+y^2-32x+24y+375=0
