Answer:
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
where the vertex is (h, k) and the value 'a' is a vertical scale factor.
The value of 'a' can be found by looking at the y-value of points ±1 either side of the vertex relative to the vertex. Here, the vertex y-value is +2 at x=3, and either side goes down 1 unit (to y=1) for 1 unit to the right or left. So, a = -1.
Using the values we've read from the graph for the vertex (h, k) = (3, 2) and the scale factor a = -1, we can write the equation as ...
y = -(x -3)^2 +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>
