Radioactive Decay Ex 9: The half-life of the radioactive decay rate of the plutonium that spread across Chernobyl, in 1986, in the former Soviet Union, can be modeled using the function F G I t / 24 360 , J 10 1 H K P 2 where P is the amount of an original 10 lbs of plutonium remaining after t years. If t = 0 represents 1986, how much plutonium is left in 2005? How much plutonium would be left after 24,360 year? 100,000 years?
After 24,360 years (extra writing space) P F H I 24360 10 1 24360 K 2005 = 19 years 2 P F H I 19 10 1 P F H I 24360 K 1 10 1 K 5 lbs 2 2 9 99 P . lbs P F H I 100000 24360 0 58 10 1 K After 100,000 years . lbs 2 Homework: p373 #51-57 odd
