One of the challenges of nuclear technology is safe long-term storage of by-products and waste. 235U in spent nuclear fuel is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 7.03x108 years.
Find the value of the kinetic rate constant, k, associated with this half-life. (in yr-1)
Then use that value of k to determine how many years must pass before the 235U decays to only 10% of its original amount? (in yr)
Determine if the following functions are inverses.
f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = 1/3x + 1/3 AND f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x) = 1/4x - 3/4
