The given equation is:
[/tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x+6 [/tex] and we need to evaluate this for y=2.
So, first step is to plug in 2 for y in the above equation. Therefore, Multiply each sides by common denominator 3
6-18= -4x Subtract 18 from each sides.
-12=-4x
So, x=3
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a) 600
b) see below
c) 1.26 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The value of y when x=0 is the coefficient of the exponential term:
y = 600·3^(-0) = 600·1 = 600
There were 600 atoms to start.

b) see attached for a graph
__
c) The graph shows 150 atoms at t = 1.26, about 1.26 hours after the start of time counting.
If you want to find that value algebraically, substitute for y and solve for x. Logarithms are involved.
150 = 600·3^(-x)
150/600 = 3^(-x)
log(1/4) = -x·log(3)
x = -log(1/4)/log(3) = log(4)/log(3) ≈ 1.2618595
After about 1.26 hours, there were 150 atoms.
