Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 30 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 100 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 64 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

Answer:

19.3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 100 grams,

The formula is given as:

N(t) = No × (1/2) ^t/t½

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 30 years, its mass decreases by half.

N(t) = Mass after time (t)

No = Initial mass = 100 grams

t½ = Half life = 30 grams

N(t) = 100 × (1/2) ^t/30

How long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 64 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

This means we are to find the time

N(t) = 100 × (1/2) ^t/30

N(t) = 64 grams

64 = 100(1/2)^t/30

Divide both sides by 100

64/100 = 100(1/2)^t/30/100

0.64 = (1/2)^t/30

Take the Log of both sides

log 0.64 = log (1/2)^t/30

log 0.64 = t/30(1/2)

t = 19.315685693242 years

Approximately = 19.3 years

Write an equation of a circle that has the center at the origin and goes through (-3,-6)
dexar [7]

Answer:

x^{2} +y^{2} = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

General Equation of circle is

(x-x_1)^{2} +(y-y_1)^{2} = r^{2}----------- (1)

Here

(x_1, y_1)= (0, 0)

Radius r is distance from origin (x1, y1) to point (x2, y2)=(-3, -6)

r=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2} + (y_2-y_1)^{2} }

r= \sqrt{(-3-0)^{2} + (-6-0)^{2} }

r= \sqrt{9+36}

r=\sqrt{45}

Substituting values in equation (1)

(x-0)^{2} +(y-0)^{2} =( \sqrt{45})^{2}

x^{2} +y^{2} = 45
