Answer:
n= 1/2 ( ) or (0.5)
AND
n= -3/2 ( ) or (-1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
4n^2+4n=3
step1: move 3 to the other side and make the equation equal to zero.
4n^2+4n-3=0
step2: factorise the equation.
(2n-1)(2n+3)=0
step3: make each bracket equal to zero.
2n-1=0
2n+3=0
step4: solve for n values.
<u>1.</u> 2n-1=0
(add 1 for both sides)
2n=1
(divide by 2 for both sides)
n= 1/2 ( ) or (0.5)
<u>2.</u> 2n+3=0
( subtract 3 for both sides)
2n=-3
(divide by 2 for both sides)
n= -3/2 ( ) or (-1.5)
Answer:
464 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of substance:
The amount of substance after t years is given by an equation in the following format:
In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
Co-60 has a half life of 5.3 years.
This means that:
We use this to find r. So
So
If a pellet that has been in storage for 26.5 years contains 14.5g of Co-60, how much of this radioisotope was present when the pellet was put in storage?
We have that , and use this to find A(0). So
[tex]A(0) = 464[tex]
464 grams.
