Also, when I calculated it, 10+20+40+80+160+320+640=1270 and ur answer is 1280
do I have a mistake in calculating??

@patrickJMT so does this meam i shouls solve it like 0.5a=ae^8.56t and then tjat would be ln0.5/ln8.56?

love the video man

good work here

@VerifiablyNoticible add differential in your search. it is a differential based equation.

hello this vid helped me super mucho but have a conflicting issue on how to connect that into this problem: radioactive iodine decays accorindg to the equation y=ae^-0.0856t where t=days...how should i find the half life here? is the percentage decay 8.56%? nd then go from there likeyour vid?

@duckhero3 let a = some amount, let y = half of that amount, solve for t.

Today i was humiliated by my teacher because i didn't know how to do this. he never taught it. the overachievers of course, knew everything before he even "teaches." he also made fun of my name... it was horrible. NOW i understand what we're doing... Thanks PatrickJMT!

@lmaominh sorry to hear that. my 8th grade science teacher, mr cox (now there is a name you can make fun of) told me i was a nerd cause i knew the answer to one of his questions. lots of weird people out there, teachers included.
