He half-life for a link on a social network website is 2.6 hours. write an exponential function t that gives the percentage of engagements remaining on a typical link on the social network website after t hours. estimate this percentage after 5.5 hours.

% Remaining

And replacing the value t =5.5 hours we got:

% Remaining

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The half-life is defined "as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The term is most commonly used in relation to atoms undergoing radioactive decay, but can be used to describe other types of decay, whether exponential or not".

Solution to the problem

The half life model is given by the following expression:

Where A(t) represent the amount after t hours.

represent the initial amount

t the number of hours

h=2.6 hours the half life

And we want to estimate the % after 5.5 hours. On this case we can begin finding the amount after 5.5 hours like this:

Now in order to find the percentage relative to the initial amount w can use the definition of relative change like this:

% Remaining =

We can take common factor and we got:

% Remaining

And replacing the value t =5.5 hours we got:

% Remaining

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
