What is decay factor?
The constant factor that each value in an exponential decay pattern is multiplied by the next value. The decay factor is the base in an exponential decay equation. for example, in the equation A= 64(0.5^n), where A is he area of a ballot and the n is the number of cuts, the decay factor is 0.5.
What does the mathematical term constant mean?
It means a value that isn't a variable.For example, "X" is a variable, since its value can vary.Now, the number "33" is a constant, because its value is constant, or unchanging.(If 33 were to become 34, it wouldn't be 33 anymore.)(If x's value were to change from 5 to 8, it's still x, but its value varied.)
What is the value of Rydberg's constant?

Is an exponential decay function represent a quantity that has a constant halving time?
A quantity is said to be subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its value. The time required for the decaying quantity to fall to one half of its initial value.Radioactive decay is a good example where the half life is constant over the entire decay time.In non-exponential decay, half life is not constant.
What is the significance of decay constant?
Physically, the time constant represents the time it takes the system's step response to reach 1-1/e (approx 63.2% of its final value). In radioactive decay the time constant is called the decay constant (λ), and it represents both the mean lifetime of a decaying system (such as an atom) before it decays, or the time it takes for all but 36.8% of the atoms to decay. For this reason, the time constant is reciprocal of mean life.
Why would carbon dating work if carbon atoms did not decay at a constant rate?
Statistically carbon-14 atoms decay at a constant rate.
Are the decay rates of carbon-14 constant and predictable?
Nuclear decay in general is not predictable
How can the formula for decay constant be derived?
AA
Would carbon dating work if carbon-14 atoms did not decay at a constant rate and why?
Statistically carbon-14 atoms decay at a constant rate.
Are nuclear decay rates constant?
Yes, for any specific isotope they are fixed constant.
What is a non zero constant?
That means the constant has a value that is different to zero.That means the constant has a value that is different to zero.That means the constant has a value that is different to zero.That means the constant has a value that is different to zero.
The reciprocal of decay constant of radioelement gives?
The half-life.
Can somethings decay constant change. ive been asked this question. the isotope strontium-90 has half life of 28 years Calculate its decay constant in units of year-1 and second-1. please help?
Decay constant and half life are mathematically related. One cannot change without the other changing, so - no - an isotope's decay constant cannot change.Do not confuse this with the fact that isotopes form other isotopes as they decay, and those other isotopes might have different half lives, so the gross observation of total activity may seem to indicate a change in rate - the reality is still no - the decay constant of a particular isotope does not change.
Is it true that the half-life of a radioactive isotope decreases as the isotopes decay?
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
