About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to <em>decay</em>.

The mass of radioisotopes (m), measured in milligrams, decreases exponentially in time (t), measured in days. The model that represents such decrease is described below:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (1)

Where:

  • m_{o} - Initial mass, in milligrams.
  • m(t) - Current mass, in milligrams.
  • \tau - Time constant, in days.

In addition, the time constant is defined in terms of half-life (t_{1/2}), in days:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (2)

If we know that m_{o} = 85\,mg, t_{1/2} = 27.7\,d and m(t) = 8.5\,mg, then the time required for decaying is:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}

\tau = \frac{27.7\,d}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 39.963\,d

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}

t = -(39.963\,d)\cdot \ln \frac{8.5\,mg}{85\,mg}

t\approx 92.018\,d

About 92 days are taken for 90 % of the material to <em>decay</em>.

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 1, 7, and 11? Explain
Airida [17]

No

Given 3 sides of a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the third side.

Consider the 3 given sides 1, 7 and 11

7 + 11 = 18 > 1

1 + 11 = 12 > 7

1 + 7 < 11 ⇒ not valid

Hence these sides do not form a triangle

If the area of a circle is 20.4 units squared, what is the radius?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

r = 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the radius of a circle using the area is r = √A/π

with the r being the radius. the A being the area, and the π being pi (we'll use 3.14).

So the equation should look like this:

r = √(20.4/3.14)

Find the quotient of 20.4/3.14 and round to the nearest tenth

r = √6.5

Find the square root and round to the nearest hundredth

r = 2.55

23 x 32 is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?
antoniya [11.8K]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

⟶ 2³ × 3² is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?

Let's check,

1) 6 = 3 × 2 [So, obviously not this choice]

2) 25 = 5 × 5 = 5² [Not this either]

3) 36 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 3² × 2² [Doesn't match with 2³ × 3²]

4) 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = <u>2</u><u>³</u><u> </u><u>×</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>²</u><u> </u>[Matches]

⟶ The answer is, choice <u>7</u><u>2</u><u>.</u>
