The amount of radioactive element remaining, r, in a 100-mg sample after d days is represented using the equation r=100[tex]( \frac{1}{2})^ \frac{d}{5} [/tex] . What is the daily percent of decrease?

87.06%
12.94%
3.13%
10%

Respuesta :

[tex]\bf r=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{d}{5}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \textit{after 1 day how much remains?}\qquad \boxed{d=1}\qquad r=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{1}{5}} \\\\\\ r=100\left( \cfrac{1^{\frac{1}{5}}}{2^{\frac{1}{5}}} \right)\implies r=100\left( \cfrac{1}{\sqrt[5]{2}} \right)\implies r\approx 87.06 \\\\\\ \textit{used to be 100mg, it went down in 1 day to 87.06 or }12.94[/tex]

how much is 12.94 in percent of 100?  well, since is 100, is just 12.94%.
