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

Answer:

Some of the other answers are good examples of solving a system of three equations in three unknowns, which is what this problem is asking. Though the simplest way to solve this problem is actually to notice that, if we sum the three equations, we get:

 

   X + Y = 10

   X + Z = 20

+  Y + Z = 24

----------------

2X + 2Y + 2Z = 54

 

Factoring out the 2, we have 2(X + Y + Z) = 54, and dividing both sides by 2 reveals that X + Y + Z = 27.

Suppose you invest $750.00 in a fund earning 6% simple discount. A certain time later you withdraw the investment (principal and
barxatty [35]

Answer:

4.08 + 2 = 6.08 years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Simple Interest(S.I.) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

where, P = Principal = 750

R = Rate = 6%

T = unknown

⇒ S.I. = (750 × 6 × t)÷ 100

⇒ S.I. = 45t

Also, Amount = S.I + Principal

⇒ Amount = 750 + 45t

Now Formula for Compound Interest is:

A = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{t}

where A = Amount

=1000

P = Principle

r = rate

t = total number of year

Here, P = 750 + 45t, r = 3.5% , and t = 2.

Putting all these values in above formula:

1000 = (750 + 45t)(1+\frac{3.5}{100})^{2}

⇒ 1000 = (750 + 45t)(1.071)

⇒ t = 4.08

Hence, total time required will be 2 + 4.08 = 6.08 years.
