Answer:

Plants need water and sun to create their food source, glucose. When the plant was left in the closet it didn't have access to the sun. One of the requirements of life is that all living things need energy/have a metabolism. Without food the plant eventually died.

If a radioactive nuclide has a half-life of 1.3 billion years and it is determined that a rock contains 25% of its original amou
shtirl [24]
A=P(1/2)^(t/h)
A=final amount
P=initial amount
t=time
h=half life


so
h=1.3 billlion (just write 1.3 and remember to mulipy the end time by 1 billion)

and final amount is 25% of original or 0.25P
0.25P=P(1/2)^(t/1.3)
divide both sides by P
0.25=(1/2)^(t/1.3)
take ln of bot sides
ln(0.25)=ln((1/2)^(t/1.3))
property of logarithms
ln(0.25)=(t/1.3)ln(1/2)
divide both sides by ln(1/2)
(ln(0.25))/(ln(1/2))=t/1.3
times both sides by 1.3
(1.3ln(0.25))/(ln(1/2))=t
remember that this is billion so
(1,300,000,000ln(0.25))/(ln(1/2))=t
2600000000.0001=t
