Elapsed time = half-life * log(beginning amount / ending amount) / log (2)
elapsed time = 5,600 * log (100 / 8) / log (2)
elapsed time = 5,600 * log (12.5) / log (2)
elapsed time = 5,600 * (1.096910013 / 0.30102999566)
elapsed time = 5,600 * <span> <span> <span> 3.6438561898 </span> </span> </span>
elapsed time = <span> <span> <span> 20,405.5946628585 </span>

Answer:

1 + ln 2 - ln x

Step-by-step explanation:

ln ( 2e /x)

We know that ln ( a/b) = ln ( a) - ln (b)

ln (2e) - ln (x)

We also know that ln ( a*b) = ln a  + ln b

ln ( 2) + ln e  - ln x

We know that the ln e = 1

ln 2 + 1 - ln x

Changing the order

1 + ln 2 - ln x
