Explain how to find the half-life of a radioactive material using the sample decay from 5 grams to 2 grams in 100 days.

To find the half-life, use the formula $N(t) = N_0 e^{-kt}$ to determine the decay constant $k$ and apply it to solve for time when half of the material remains. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Radioactive Material Disintegration

A sample of radioactive material disintegrates from 5 grams to 2 grams in 100 days.
You need to determine the half-life of the material, which is the time it takes for half of the material to decay.
You also need to find out how much will remain after 60 days.

Present Value and Interest Rate

The present value of 16,000tobereceivedin5yearsis16,000 to be received in 5 years is 16,000tobereceivedin5yearsis10,000.
You need to determine the interest rate compounded continuously that was used to compute this present value.
You also need to calculate how long it takes for an initial investment to triple at this interest rate.

Derivative of Exponential Function

You need to find the second derivative of the exponential function e^(x^2).

Evaluating Integrals

You need to evaluate the following integral:
- ∫(ln(5x + 3) + 1/(√(x))) dx.
You also need to evaluate the following integral:
- ∫(e^(x^2))/(x^2) dx.

Evaluating Definite Integrals

You need to evaluate the definite integral:
- ∫(ln(x^2 + e^4))/(7x - 1) dx.
You also need to evaluate the definite integral:
- ∫(ln(x^3 + 2)) dx.

Solving Equations and Simplifying Expressions

You need to solve the following equation for x:
- ln(x^2) - ln(2x) = -1
You need to simplify the expression:
- (e^(x) / (e^(7x))) * 2x - 3ln(2)
You need to write the simplified expressão in the form of Ae^(kx), where A and k are constants.
