Answer:

Initial Amount=1

Decay Factor=0.99987

Decay Rate=0.013%

Step-by-step explanation:

If P = 0.99987ᵃ

I. Initial amount

The initial amount is when a=0

P = 0.99987⁰ = 1

The Pressure at Sea Level=1

II. Decay factor

This is like the decay constant. From the model, P = 0.99987ᵃ, the decay constant/factor is 0.99987.

III. Decay Rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Expressed in Percentage = 0.013%

Answer:

The answers to the question are as follows

Initial a amount = 1

Decay Factor =0.99987

Decay rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for exponential decay given by

y = a(1-b)^t

In the above we have  (1+b)  = Decay factor

a = Initial amount

b =  rate of decay

t = time

Comparing y = a(1-b)^t , with the function in the question, we have

a(1-b)^t≡ 0.99987^a

Therefore, a ≡ 1,

1 + b ≡ 0.99987 and

x ≡ a

Therefore we have

Initial amount = 1

Decay/growth factor = 0.99987

But rate of decay = b = 1-(1-b) =b

Therefore Rate of Decay = 1 - 0.99987

Lindsay is very excited to be getting a great deal on an iPad. It was originally $500 but she will only be paying $325. what per
Veseljchak [2.6K]
To find what she saved you need to subtract
500-325= 175
then take 175 divided by the original price (500) to get a percentage so
175÷500=0.35
0.35= 35%
so your answer is she saved 35%
