a substance decays 18℅ each day. after 11 days, there are 13 milligrams of the substance remaining. how many milligrams were the
re initially? round to two decimals
2 answers:
The decay formula is as follows:
M(t)=M(0)((1-r)^t)
where
M(t)=mass of substance after t days
r=rate of decay
Substitute r=0.18, t=11, we get
M(11)=M(0)(1-0.18)^11
=>
M(0)=(13 mg) / (0.82^11) = 115.34 mg (initial mass of substance)
The amount remaining (Q(t)) can be expressed in terms of the initial quantity Q₀ and the number of days (t) by
Q(t) = Q₀×0.82^t
Filling in the given numbers, you have
13 = Q₀×0.82^11
13/0.82^11 = Q₀
Q₀ ≈ 115.34 . . . . milligrams

Answer:
that would not be correct
Step-by-step explanation:
its not correct because since its 5x squared thats going to be in a separate parenthesis for example it would look like this
i hope this helpsssss ...
3x + 5x = 10
8x = 10
x = 10/8
x = 5/4
Step 1: Find the slope using :
Step 2: Plug the slope and one-point into point-slope form :
Let's use (4,1) since there's no negative involved. That makes it easier:
