Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A scientist begins with 240 grams of a radioactive substance. After 250 minutes, the sample has decayed to 34 grams. a. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation, R(t) = Aekt, representing this situation, using the variablet for minutes. R(O) = b. To the nearest minute, what is the half-life of this substance? The half-life is approximately minutes.
After the sudden release of radioactivity from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident in 1986, the radioactivity of milk in one region of Poland rose to 1450 Bq/L due to iodine-131 present in the grass eaten by dairy cattle. (Note that the radioactivity was higher in other regions of Poland.) Radioactive iodine, with half-life 8.04 days, is particularly hazardous because the thyroid gland concentrates iodine. The Chernobyl accident causeda measurable increase in thyroid cancers among children in Belarus. (a) For comparison,...
