Answer: f(t)=180(0.5)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The general exponential function is given by :-

f(x)=Ab^t, where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change and t is the time period.

From , the given table the value of the function at t=0 is 180.

i.e the initial amount of radioactive material = 180

Also, the multiplicative rate is the common ratio of the values of the function w.r.t. to time

The multiplicative rate =\dfrac{90}{180}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5

Now, the exponential function best represents the relationship between f(t) and t will be :-

f(t)=180(0.5)^t

\bf \begin{array}{c|ccc} t&0&1&2\\ f(t)&180&90&45 \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\qquad \stackrel{t}{0}~~,~~\stackrel{f(t)}{180}\\\\ A=I(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &180\\ I=\textit{initial amount}\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &0\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ 180=I(1-r)^0\implies 180=I(1)\implies 180=I \\\\\\ \boxed{A=180(1-r)^t} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{t}{1}~~,~~\stackrel{f(t)}{90}\qquad \qquad 90=180(1-r)^1\implies \cfrac{90}{180}=1-r \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{2}=1-r\implies r=1-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies r=\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ A=180\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)^t\implies A=180\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^t

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It is B because to find the volume you multiply all three values together, which gets you 68.448. I multiplied 9.2x3.1, which got me 28.52, and then I multiplied 28.52 by 2.4 which got me 68.448.

Marlene is solving a number puzzle involving three rational numbers a, b, and c. Here are her clues:
rusak2 [61]
A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

Answer:

y₂ = 0.33253

Step-by-step explanation:

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δt F(tₙ, yₙ)

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δt (yₙ − 1) (1 − tₙ²)

yₙ₊₁ = yₙ + Δt (yₙ − 1) (1 − (nΔt)²)

When n = 0:

y₁ = y₀ + Δt (y₀ − 1) (1 − t₀²)

y₁ = 0.7 + 0.9 (0.7 − 1) (1 − 0²)

y₁ = 0.43

When n = 1:

y₂ = y₁ + Δt (y₁ − 1) (1 − t₁²)

y₂ = 0.43 + 0.9 (0.43 − 1) (1 − 0.9²)

y₂ = 0.33253
