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 />

Answer is 3. You have to do what’s in the parentheses first: 10+2-8=4. Then multiply 4 • 2 = 8 and then finally subtract: 8-5=3
