A radioactive substance decays according to the formula Q(t)=Q0eâkt where Q(t) denotes the amount of the substance present at time t (measured in years),
Q0 denotes the amount of the substance present initially, and k (a positive constant) is the decay constant.
(a) Find the half-life of the substance in terms of k.
(b) Suppose a radioactive substance decays according to the formula
Q(t)=15eâ0.0001438t
How long will it take for the substance to decay to half the original amount? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) yr

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
