Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 23 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 80 grams, how much of the element would remain after 21 years, to the nearest whole number?

step-by-step explanation:

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .

step-by-step explanation:

infinity is the answer

hey there! : )

4y < -4

we need to isolate y. we can do this by simply dividing both sides by 4.

4y ÷ 4 > -4 ÷ 4

simplify.

y > -1

5 - y > 0

once again, we need to isolate y, so we can start off by subtracting 5 from both sides.

5 - y - 5 > 0 - 5

simplify.

-y > -5

divide both sides by -1.

** remember that when dividing any side by a negative, you must switch the sign! **

-y ÷ -1 < -5 ÷ -1

simplify.

y < 5
