Dr. Steve is working with a new radioactive substance in his lab. He currently has 64 grams of the substance and knows that it d

ecays at a rate of 25% every hour.
Identify whether this situation represents exponential growth or decay. Then determine the rate of growth or decay, r, and identify the initial amount, A.

Answer:

This situation models exponential decay because the substance decays with time.

The radioactive substance decays at the rate of :  25%

 r=25/100 =0.25

The initial amount of substance is 64  grams. So, . A=64

Remember that the general decay equation is:
y=A(1-r)^{x}
where 
y is the amount after a time x
A is the initial amount 
r is the the decay percent in decimal form

The first ting we are going to do is find r by dividing our <span>decay rate of 25% by 100%: </span>r= \frac{25}{100} =0.25.
We also know from our problem that y=64. Lets replace y and r in our formula:
64=A(1-0.25)^{x}
64=A(0.75)^{x}
We know now that our decay rate is 0.75, and since 0.75<1, we can conclude that this situation represents exponential decay.

Now, to find the initial amount, we are going to solve our equation for A:
64=A(0.75)^{x}
A= \frac{64}{0.75 ^{x} }
Notice that A will depend on the number of ours x. <span />

HELP PLEASE
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You forgot to attach the expression that models the cost of the camping trip during the three days. However, by analyzing the units, the answer can be reached.

The total cost has to be in units of $.

There are two types of costs in the problem:

Those that depend on the number of days ($/day )

Those that depend on the number of students and the number of days ($/(student * day))

If there are 3 days of camping and b students, then you have to multiply the costs that depend on the days by the number of days (3), and the costs that depend on the number of students you have to multiply them by 'b'

So, if the costs that must be multiplied by 'b' are only those that depend on the number of students, the coefficient of b must be:

3 days (Cost of training + Cost of food Miscellaneous expenses :).

Therefore the correct answer is option C:

C. It is the total cost of 3 days per student of Mr. Brown, with training, food and miscellaneous expenses.

The expression that represents the total expense should have a formula similar to this:

y = (3 days) *([\frac{20.dollars}{(day * student)} + \frac{30.dollars}{(student * day)} + \frac{50.dollars}{(student * day)}] b + \frac{200}{day}) + 1050.dollars

y = 3 ($ 100b + $ 200) + $ 1050

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

n = 7

n = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

4n+6 = n²-15

4n = n² - 21

n² - 4n - 21 = 0

(n-7)(n+3) = 0

n = 7

n = -3
