Problem PageQuestion The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of per day. Find the half-life of this substance (that is, the time it takes for one-half the original amount in a given sample of this substance to decay).

8.55 days for a decay rate parameter of 8.1% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a decay rate parameter of  8.1% per day

the general equation for radioactive decay is;

N = N₀e^(-λt)

x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay 

t-  time 

N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2

N₀ - amount initially present 

substituting the values 

N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)

0.5 = e^(-0.081t)

ln (0.5) = -0.081t

-0.693 = -0.081t

t = 0.693 / 0.081  = 8.55

half life of substance is 8.55 days 

step-by-step explanation:

infinity is the answer

the correct answer option is d. la = πrs.

step-by-step explanation:

we know that for a right cone, the lateral surface area is given by:

lateral area of right cone =

here the value under the square root is equal to slant height so replacing this value by in the formula to get:

lateral area of right cone =

therefore, the correct answer option is d.
