The half life of a radioactive substance is 10 years. If 64 grams are placed in a container, how much will remain after 50 years?

2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

50 years is 5 half lives as 1 half life is 10 years.

64 divide 2 = 32-1 half life

32 divide 2 =16-2nd half life

16 divide 2 = 8-3rd half life

8 divide 2 = 4-4th half life

4 divide 2 = 2-5th half life

This means we will have 2 grams left of the radioactive substance after 50 years.

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
