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.
The inclusion/exclusion principle states that
That is, the union has as many members as the sum of the number of members of the individual sets, minus the number of elements contained in both sets (to avoid double-counting).
Therefore,
will have the most elements when the sets 
and 
are disjoint, i.e. 
, which would mean the most we can can in this case would be
(Note that
denotes the cardinality of the set .)

Therefore,
