Answer:
The initial mass of the sample was 16 mg.
The mass after 5 weeks will be about 0.0372 mg.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write an exponential function to model the situation.
Let the initial amount be A. The standard exponential function is given by:
Where r is the rate of growth/decay.
Since the half-life of Palladium-100 is four days, r = 1/2. We will also substitute t/4 for t to to represent one cycle every four days. Therefore:
After 12 days, a sample of Palladium-100 has been reduced to a mass of two milligrams.
Therefore, when x = 12, P(x) = 2. By substitution:
Solve for A. Simplify:
Simplify:
Thus, the initial mass of the sample was:
5 weeks is equivalent to 35 days. Therefore, we can find P(35):
About 0.0372 mg will be left of the original 16 mg sample after 5 weeks.
Answer: The second choice is answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>The first line (Blue One)</h3> (Slope is -1 and intercepts y at -3)
(Slope is 2, to find y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 then we get -8) (For x-intercept, it's 4. Just substitute y=0 to get x-intercept.)
Because there are choices, it's easy to notice.
The first one, x = -4 and almost -5 which is not right. (x is around 1 almost 2.)
The second one, x = 1 and almost 2 is right.
The third one, x = -1 and almost -2 is not right (The intersection isn't even at -1 or any negative number for x-axis.)
The fourth one, just like the first one... x = 4 almost 5
<h3>Or solve the equations.</h3>Substitute y=2x-8 in y=-x-3
Look at the value of x then find the answer that matches the value of x.
Now for y, substitute x = 5/3 in y = -x-3 (or in 2x-8 if you want.)
So the answer is the second choice.
