The equation for exponential decay is given as y = a(1 - r)^x.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The formula for original exponential decay is y = ab^x.
The growth rate (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.
The decay rate (r) is determined as b = 1 - r.
y = ab^x (Where b = 1 - r)
y = a(1-r)^x
a represents the initial value
r represents growth or decay rate
x represents the number of time intervals that have passed.
<em>For example</em>
The population of Home Town is 2016 was estimated to be 35,000 people with an annual rate of increase of 2.4%.
The equation for decay factor y = 35000(1 - 0.024)^x
y = 35000(0.976). (where x = 1)
Answer:
Alan: 110 lb.
Brady: 140 lb.
Charles: 160 lb.
Damien: 120 lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 15
X + 90 = 7x
X = 7x - 90
X - 7x = -90
-6x = 90
Divide both sides by -6
X = 15

Answer:
The 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given, we were told that the nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. This implies that the number of blocks in n tower will be:
n + n²
Now let us use the diagram to validate the idea.
Tower 1:
n = 1
Number of blocks = 1 + 1² = 2
Tower 2:
Number of blocks = 2 + 2² = 6
Tower 3:
Number of blocks = 3 + 3² = 12
Using same idea, we can obtain the number of blocks in the 99th tower as follow:
Tower 99:
n = 99
Number of blocks = 99 + 99² = 9900
Therefore, the 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.
