Answer:
a.) 4 half lives have passed
b) 9.388 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:
Where is the final population
is the initial population
is the growth factor
is the time taken for the growth 'b'
is the amount of time
Here, we are given that:
= 6. 9 grams
= 110.4 grams
min
To find:
a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.
b.) Total time in the decay.
Solution:
a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to .
Putting the values in the formula, we get:
Therefore, the answer is:
<em>4 half lives </em>have passed.
b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of here.
From answer of part a.):
Slope Intercept Form - y = mx + b
First you need the slope or m which in the first equation is 6 and in the second is 5
Next the y-intercept or b which in the first equation is -4 and in the second is -3
Here is an image of both equation plotted on a graph where the first equation is purple and the second is green
Hope this helps, if you need anything else i will edit it in :)
edit: The to lines intercept at the point (1,2)
Sorry, i wasn't completely sure what you needed i haven't done this in a while. If you still need more, I'll try to help.
