Answer: 816 years</h2>
This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula:
</u>
<u />
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed (the quantity we are asked to find)
is the half life of americium-241
Knowing this, let's find from (1):
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
<u></u>
<u>Finally:</u>
Has to be a table, you need numbers for the others
Answer:
3x was subtracted from the left side, but 3x was subtracted from the right side. The Subtract Property of Equality states that you can subtract the same number from each side and the equation will remain true. But 3x and 3 are not the same number (unless x is 1).
x = -8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.
