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
