\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}


\bf \stackrel{300~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &300\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{300}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.060202}

Given the function f(x) = log3 (x + 1), determine f^−1(2).
zavuch27 [327]
Given:  <span>f(x) = log3 (x + 1), look for f^-1 (2)

We are looking for the inverse of a function. The inverse of the function can be obtained by switching the variables and obtaining the values of the new function, before substituting f(2). Using a calculator:

</span><span>f^-1 (2) = 8</span>
