Answer:

Rate of Decay = 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula is:

F=P(1-r)^t

Where F is the final value (here, it is given as "Y")

P is the initial value (here, given as 20,000)

r is the rate of decay (what we need to find)

t is the time (given as 2)

Comparing both the equations:

F=P(1-r)^t\\Y=20,000(0.92)^2

We see that:

1 - r  =0.92

We solve for "r":

1 - 0.92 = r

0.08 = r

The rate of decay is 0.08, as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so we have:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

Rate of Decay = 8%

Lunna [17]
Answer: 2.25x 10^{-17}

Scientific notation is used in science because the number can be vary from so much that using decimal is making it hard. The number expressed in 10^{x} form. Both number in the question is already in scientific notation. Then to multiply the number and keep it at scienfitic notation the calculation should be:

2.5 x 10^{-8}x 9 x 10^{-10}= 22.5 x 10^{-18}= 2.25x 10^{-17}
