Radioactive decay
what percent of a present amount of radioactive radium (226ra) will remain after 900 years?

Percentage of (226Ra) after 900 years is 68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(t) be the amount of (226Ra) present at any time t

Half life of (226 Ra) = 1599 years

If P₀ is initial amount of (226 Ra) then after 1599 years

P(1599)=P₀/2

Decay i amount of radioactive substance is related to time t as

To find value of k

Percentage of radioactive element is:

Amount after 900 years

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.
