Math Problem Statement

solve for the decay constant

solve for the decay constant

Solution

py import symbols, Eq, solve, exp

Define the variables

lmbda = symbols('lmbda') # decay constant N1 = 2.0 * 104 # initial value N0 = 7.6 * 105 # final value t = 20235 # time

Define the equation

equation = Eq(N1, N0 * exp(-lmbda * t))

Solve for the decay constant (lambda)

decay_constant = solve(equation, lmbda) decay_constant
