The new figure is formed differently and is not the same as the other ome
First term = T(1) is obtained by plugging n = 1 into the formula,
thus First term = 1^2 - 4 = 1 - 4
= 3 (answer)
Answer:
14,146 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The annual multiplier is (1 -0.0049%) = 0.999951. We want to find the number of times this needs to be multiplied to make the product 1/2.
0.5 = 0.999951^t
log(0.5) = t·log(0.999951)
log(0.5)/log(0.999951) = t ≈ 14,145.514
The half-life is about 14,146 years.
