<span>Formula for exponential decay is:
N = No * e^-kt
N = 1/2(45) = 22.5
No = 45
k = 0.1109
The solution to your problem is as follows:
Let's try to solve the half-life if it is 45 grams, after which, you will now have an idea on how to solve the problem.
22.5 = 45 * e^(-0.1109t)
1/2 = e^(-0.1109t)
ln(1/2) = -0.1109t
t = (ln(1/2))/(-0.1109) = 6.25 days

The average rate of change of a function f(x) on the interval [a,b] is given by:
f(b) - f(a)
-------------
b-a
In this specific case, a=2 and b = 3.
f(2) = -3 and f(3) = -1.
Thus, the average rate of change here of f(x) on the interval [2,3] is:
-1 - (- 3) 2
------------- = ------------- = 2 (answer)
3-2 1
It can, it just depends upon the slope
Do you know what the slope is?
