Answer:

The half life of Pa-234 is approximately 0.0701656609 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for half life is calculated as:

t½ = t.In(2)/In(No/Nt)

Where:

t½ = Half life of the substance in days

t = Time elapsed in days

No = Beginning amount

Nt = End Amount

In the question,

t = Time elapsed = 10 days

No = Beginning amount = 5.14 × 10²²

Nt = End Amount = 6.43 × 10²¹

t½ = t.In(2)/In(No/Nt)

t½ = 10.In(2)/In(5.14 × 10²²/6.43 × 10²¹)

t½ = 6.9314718056/98.78723754

t½ = 0.0701656609 days

The half life of Pa-234 is approximately 0.0701656609 days

Find the zero of the following function: f(x)=2/3(x)+6
elixir [45]
X=-9.
explanation: You want to set the equation equal to 0, so 0=2/3x+6. Subtract 6 from each side... -6=2/3x. then multiply each side by the reciprocal of 2/3, or 3/2. The equation is now 6(3/2) = 2/3x(3/2). Knowing that the reciprocal of any number times itself =1, we can conclude that -18/2, or -9=1x.
