Suppose that 1 kg of Sodium-24 is reduced to 0.0156 kg in 90 hours. What is the half-life, in hours, of Sodium-24?​

Answer:

14.99 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for half-life is given as,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ...................... Equation 1

Where R= Original mass of sodium-24, R' = mass of Sodium-24 after disintegration, a = Total time taken for sodium-24 to disintegrate, b = half-life of sodiun-24.

Given: R = 1 kg, R' = 0.0156 kg, a = 90 hours

Substitute into equation 1 and solve for b

1/(0.0156) = 2⁹⁰/ᵇ

Taking the log of both side

log[1/(0.0156)] = log(2⁹⁰/ᵇ)

log[1/(0.0156)] = 90/b(log2)

90/b = log[1/(0.0156)]/log2

90/b = 6.0023

b = 90/6.0023

b =  14.99 hours

b = 14.99 hours.

Hence the half-life of Sodium-24 is 14.99 hours

F(x)3x+5/x what is f(a+2)
german

Answer:

3a+6+5/(a+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you replace x with a+2, meaning that 3x+5/x turns into 3(a+2)+5/a+2. Simplified this is 3a+6+5/(a+2)

The nth term of a sequence is 2n2 + 1 The nth term of a different sequence is 65 - 2n2. Show that there is only 1 number that is
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The only common term is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sequence 1:

n^{th}\text{ term: } 2n^2 + 1

Sequence 2:

n^{th}\text{ term: } 65 - 2n^2

Equating the two terms, we get,

2n^2 + 1 = 65 - 2n^2\\4n^2 = 64\\\\n^2 = \dfrac{64}{4}\\\\n^2 = 16\\n = \pm 4

Since, n cannot take a negative value, we get n = 4.

Thus, there is only 1 common term both the series have for n = 4.

Common term:

2(4)^2+ 1 - 65-2(4)^2 = 33

Thus, the only common term is 33.
