Answer:

~ 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = (1 + .1/4)^(4t)

2 = (1.025)^(4t)

Take the log of both sides

log2 = 4t * log1.025

divide both sides by log1.025

log2/log1.025 = 4t

28.07103452593863 = 4t

Divide both sides by 4

7.017758631484657 = t

Determine the nature of the roots:

malfutka [58]

Answer:

A. 2 distinct roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 8x + 3 = 0

Finding the discriminant:

b^2 - 4ac = 8^2 - 4 * 2 * 3

= 64 - 24

= 40

The discriminant is positive but not a perfect square

So there are 2 distinct ,real, irrational roots.

Suppose the half-life of a decaying radioactive isotope is 674 years. How long will it takefor the isotope to decay from 100 gra

KonstantinChe [14]

The half life formula is :

$N(t)=N_o(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{T}}$

where N(t) = remaining quantity after t years

No = Original Quantity

t = time in years

T = half life in years

From the problem, we have :

N(t) = 30 grams

No = 100 grams

T = 674

Solve for t :

$\begin{gathered} 30=100(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{674}} \\ \frac{30}{100}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{674}} \\ \frac{3}{10}=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{674}} \end{gathered}$

Take ln of both sides :

$\begin{gathered} \ln (\frac{3}{10})=\ln (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{674}} \\ \ln (\frac{3}{10})=\frac{t}{674}\ln (\frac{1}{2}) \\ t=\frac{674\ln (\frac{3}{10})}{\ln (\frac{1}{2})} \\ t=1170.71 \end{gathered}$

The answer is t = 1170.71 years
