Half Life Problems

[bad_at_algebra2]

I am completely lost on how to do radioactive decay half-life problems and I have a test on it sometime this week(my teacher is very vague). PLEASE help me. Oh, and I am confused on how to find inverse functions algebraically and also how to show that the function and its inverse are equal (fof, gof, etc.)

PLEASE help me.

Help you how?

I am completely lost on how to do radioactive decay half-life problems...

Do you understand logs or exponentials at all? Or are you needing to start there?

I am confused on how to find inverse functions algebraically and also how to show that the function and its inverse are equal (fof, gof, etc.)

To learn this material, try the following:

. . . . .Google results for "functions relations"

. . . . .Google results for "function notation"

. . . . .Google results for "composition functions"

. . . . .Google results for "inverse functions finding"

Note that this material is not generally quick or easy for most students. Please spend an hour or two a day in studying this material. Do not wait until "the last minute"!

Good luck!
