(126) times (1/2 to the x/11 power) = 15% times 126

(1/2) to the x/11 power = 0.15

Take the log of both sides :

(x/11) times log(1/2) = log(0.15)

Multiply both sides by 11 :

'x' times log(1/2) = 11 x log(0.15)

Divide both sides by " log(1/2) " :

x = 11 x log(0.15)/log(1/2) = <em><u>30.107 years</u></em> (rounded)

That's the time it takes for <em><u>any-size</u></em> sample of this substance
to decay to 15% of its original size.

Please Help! I don't know what the answer is! If you could provide a reason for the answer as well that would help!

If you go with Blackburn, you have to pay 25 bucks right off, for the web services hosting setup, that's for them to add your account, and allocate resources on their end for you.

After that, for every passing month, you have to pay 5.69 bucks for the service they provide on daily basis.

if you with Randall, they also charge for setup fee, just cheaper, $6 at once, and then for every month is $9.49.

Blackburn for 

1 month     5.69(1) + 25

2 months   5.69(2) + 25

3 months  5.69(3) + 25

x months  5.69(x) + 25, or 5.69x + 25

Randall for 

1 month  9.49(1) + 6

2 months  9.49(2) + 6

3 months  9.49(3) + 6

x months  9.49(x) + 6, or 9.49x + 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y = 5.69x + 25
y = 9.49x + 6

Amber is starting a garden. She plants 2 flowers the first month. The next month, she plans three times more flowers (6 flowers)
Artist 52 [7]
This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:
&#10;\begin{tabular}{lll}&#10;Month & Number of flowers planted & Different form            \\&#10;1     & 2                         & 2\cdot3^0 \\&#10;2     & 6                         & 2\cdot3^1 \\&#10;3     & 18                        & 2\cdot3^2 \\&#10;4     & 54                        & 2\cdot3^3&#10;\end{tabular}&#10;\end{table}
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
N=2\cdot3^{n-1}
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
