(d) The radiation in a rock after a nuclear accident was 8,000 becquerel (bq).
One year later, the radiation in the rock was 7,000 bq. It is known that the
radiation in the rock is given by the formula:
R = R0 e − kt .
where R0 and k are constants and t is the time measured in years.
(i) Evaluate the constants R0 and k. 2
(ii) What is the radiation of the rock after 10 years? 1
Answer correct to the nearest whole number.
(iii) The region will become safe when the radiation of the rock reaches
2
50 bq. After how many years will the region become safe?
