Answer: B rational
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The fossil is 1860 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of fossil has the following format:

In which Q(t) is the amount after t years, Q(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate of change.
Half-life of c-14 is 5730 years.
This means that 
So







So

How old is the fossil?
This is t for which

So







The fossil is 1860 years old.
Over which interval(s) is the function decreasing?
Answer: It would be the first equation because:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to be an exponential function, the X
variable has to be in the exponent, that eliminates
the second and fourth answers
f(X) = 4(3)X
using the point (2,36)
f(2) = 4 (3)2
= 4 (9 )
= 36
