Answer:

the equation should be corrected to fit the data of the problem.  With the corrected equation a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Step-by-step explanation:

for the mass y( in grams)

y=23* (1/2)^(t/45), t ≥ 0.

the initial mass is at t=0 , then

y= 23 grams  → should be 16 grams

half-life from the equation = 45 years → should be 30 years

the correct equation should be

y=16*(1/2)^(t/30), t ≥ 0

then after 150 years  → t= 150

y=16*(1/2)^(150/30)= 16*(1/2)^5 = 16/32 = 0.5 grams

then a mass of 0.5 grams remains after 150 years

Find the difference quotient of the exponential function, f(x) = e^x
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference quotient in general looks like

\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}   Sometimes the symbol "delta x"  \Delta x   is used instead of h.

For the exponential function, the difference quotient is

\frac{e^{x+h}-e^x}{h}

I will give u brianliest
Bond [772]

Answer:

1: 3×2

2: y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

1:

Multiply the numbers: y(^3^*^2)

3*2 = 6

Write it without exponents:

y * y * y * y *y *y so 6y.

2:

(y^3)^2

Apply exponent rule : (a^b)^c=a^b^c, assuming a\geq 0

(y^3)^2=y^3^*^2

=y^3^*^2

Multiply the numbers: 3 * 2 = 6

= y^6

Hope I helped! If so, may I get Brainliest and a Thanks?

Thank you, have a good one! =)
