Can someone please please help me. Really important

1. Find the time required for an investment of $5000 to double at an annual rate 7.5% compounded quarterly. Round your answer to the whole year.

2. The half-life of radium-226 is 1600 years.
a) What is the exponential decay rate? Round to 5 decimal place.
b) Suppose we have 22mg sample. How much of the sample will remain after 4000 years. Round to two decimal places

Please explain step by step. Thanks

Sagot :

apologiabiology
1. so 5000
so in the first quarter 5000 + (5000 times 0.075)=5375
second quarter 5375+(5375 times 0.075)=5.778.13
third quarter 5.778.125+(5778.125 times 0.075)=6211.48
and so on
when you get to 2.5 years you get 10305.2 which is more than double but round answer to whole year so
3 years you get 11908.9

2. a half life is how long it takes for half of the sample to decay so
a. not sure how to do this sorry.
b. so  there are 2.5 1600s n 4000 so (22 times 1/2)=11 then 11 times 1/2=5.5 then since only half of the half life has passed then only 1/4 has passed away so
5.5-(5.5 times 1/4)=4.125
after 4000 years there will be 4.13 grams
