Section 4.6 Exponential and Logarithmic Models
While we have explored some basic applications of exponential and logarithmic functions, in this section we explore some important applications in more depth.
Radioactive Decay
In an earlier section, we discussed radioactive decay – the idea that radioactive isotopes change over time. One of the common terms associated with radioactive decay is half- life.
Half Life
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for half the substance to decay.
Given the basic exponential growth/decay equation h(t) = abt , half-life can be found by solving for when half the original amount remains; by solving 1 a = a(b)t , or more
2
simply 1 = bt . Notice how the initial amount is irrelevant when solving for half-life. 2
Example 1
Bismuth-210 is an isotope that decays by about 13% each day. What is the half-life of Bismuth-210?
We were not given a starting quantity, so we could either make up a value or use an unknown constant to represent the starting amount. To show that starting quantity does not affect the result, let us denote the initial quantity by the constant a. Then the decay of Bismuth-210 can be described by the equation Q(d) = a(0.87)d .
To find the half-life, we want to determine when the remaining quantity is half the original: 1a. Solving,
2
1 a = a(0.87)d 2
1 = 0.87d 2
1 d log2=log(0.87 )
Divide by a,
Take the log of both sides Usetheexponentpropertyoflogs

Question 1:

This is a 45-45-90 right triangle. If the leg length is x, then the hypotenuse length will be x \sqrt{2}.

The leg length of this 45-45-90 right triangle is 8. Multiply that with the square root of 2. You get 8 \sqrt{2}. Thus, the last choice is your answer.

Question 2:

This triangle can be identified as a 30-60-90 right triangle.
Let's say the smallest leg as a length of x.
Then, the longer leg will have a length of x \sqrt{3}.
Also, the hypotenuse will have a length of 2x

This triangle follows this format, making it a 30-60-90 right triangle. Thus, the angles are 30, 60, and 90.

Hope this helps! :)
