Determine the algebraic modeling a.
One type of Iodine disintegrates continuously at a constant rate of per day.
Suppose the original amount, , is 10 grams, and let t be measured in days.
Because the Iodine is decaying continuously at a constant rate, we use the model for the decay equation, where k is the rate of continuous decay.
Using the given information, write the decay equation for this type of Iodine.
b.
Use your equation to determine the half-life ofthis type of Fodine, That is, find ‘out how many days it will take for half of the original amount to be left. Show an algebraic solution using logs.
