<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
For choice C, the x values are out of order, so it might be tricky at first. I recommend sorting the x values from smallest to largest to get -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Do the same for the y values as well. Make sure the correct y values stay with their x value pairs. You should get the list of y values to be 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4
Check out the attached image below for the sorted table I'm referring to
We can see the list of y values is going down as x increases. This is a good sign we have decay. Further proof is that we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next one
4 times 1/2 = 2
2 times 1/2 = 1
1 times 1/2 = 1/2
1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4
and so on. Effectively we can say the decay rate is 50%

Answer:
p(t) = 0 for t = 1
p(t) = 1 for t = 1/8 = 8^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph you will have to do yourself.
just go there and type in
well, don't type "log" in letters.
you start by typing the "-" sign, and then you need to look up the functions by clicking on the "funcs" button and look for the log functions .
pick the
option. and then simply enter 8 as the first parameter in the {} brackets and x as the second in the () brackets.
and then you see.
any logarithm is 0 for x (or t) = 1.
because any a⁰ = 1.
and the logarithm gives you that exponent of the base number that leads to the given x value.
in other words : a logarithm is the inverse function of an exponential function.
the exponential function is
y = a^x
and the logarithm then determines
that is all.
and
means that the logarithm itself delivered -1.
and 8^-1 = 1/8
so, p(t) = 1 for t = 1/8
