You have 64 grams of a radioactive kind of radium. How much will be left after 15 years if its half-life is 5 years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sethRB26DETT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know which formula you have to apply in order to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but I can find out give me a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(t) = P0e-rt @Najia2000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. give me a minute, okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope yoou got this @Najia2000 cuz im tapping out lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang you let me down @sethRB26DETT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know im sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, if you can solve it you should go ahead @sethRB26DETT Because 2 are always better than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill still tag you though so stay around :p @sethRB26DETT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okai :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sethRB26DETT I think you might as well help her, my formulae for this looks like this: N=N0e^-kt. I don't think the answer would make sense to her.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can still solve it, but i want it to make sense to @southmini

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant do it thats why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well solve it and ill make sense of it on my own @Najia2000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rishavraj I think he will be able to help you so you understand. ^_^

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see all radioactive reactions are 1st order reaction so \[t_\{\\frac{\ \1\ \}\{\ \2\ \}\}\ \=\ \\frac{\ ln \2\ \}\{\ lambda \}\ \\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer was 8 thank for nothing:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Someone is angry^ Sorry I didn't help out. The formulae you used , i didn't recognize.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw, if you don't mind me asking, was this for 9th or 10th grade?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see if u understand.... half life = ln 2/k k - rate constant u will get k = 0.138 approx so \[[A]_{15} = [A]_0\times e ^{-kt} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol naww Im sarcastic thank you guys for real though @Najia2000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this was for 9th grade algebra im in geometry now though @Najia2000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer as 8 @rishavraj

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup the answer is 8.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I looked up a example and used that to guide my way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rishavraj

rishavraj (rishavraj):

okay .....cool:))))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you ttry this one I wanna see if we get the same answer The number of research papers in Dr. Howell's area of expertise has been increasing by 5% every year. Given that 17,760 research papers were published this year, how many will be published 9 years from now @rishavraj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tom99 could you this question a shot

rishavraj (rishavraj):

whts ur answer???@southmini

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rational 27552

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup approx tht

rishavraj (rishavraj):

i got like 27551.63

OpenStudy (anonymous):

round to the nearst whole number is what it says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rishavraj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same thing too, but i got it using my formula. @southmini

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Najia2000 congrats on ur grand success.......lol.....go celebrate....xDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rishavraj Shutup! :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) @rishavraj lol

rishavraj (rishavraj):
