Answer:
3+sqrt(13/2)
3-sqrt(13/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x-3) ^2 =13
Divide each side by 2
2/2 (x-3) ^2 =13/2
(x-3) ^2 =13/2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-3) ^2) =±sqrt(13/2)
x-3 = ±sqrt(13/2)
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = 3±sqrt(13/2)
x = 3±sqrt(13/2)
<span>As the age of the U-235 sample is 2.631 billion years, and the half-life of U-235 is 713 million years, the sample has undergone 2.361 X 1,000,000,000 / 713 X 1,000,000 = 3.69 half lives. In each half-life the sample reduces to half its original weight according to the radioactive Half-Life Formula:
ln (Nt /N0) = -kt, where N0 = mass of the original weight of radioactive material, Nt = mass of radioactive material at time t, k = decay constant and t = time interval . We have to put Nt/N0 = 1/2 for time interval = half-life.</span>
