The substance's half-life is 5.5 days if the 11-gram sample of a substance that’s used to treat thyroid disorders has a k- the value of 0.125
<h3>What is exponential decay?</h3>During exponential decay, a quantity falls slowly at first before rapidly decreasing. The exponential decay formula is used to calculate population decline and can also be used to calculate half-life.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
We have an exponential function:
Plug N = N⁰/2
Solving for t:
t = 5.54 ≈ 5.5 days
Thus, the substance's half-life is 5.5 days if the 11-gram sample of a substance that’s used to treat thyroid disorders has a k- the value of 0.125
