Answer: d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
They are the ONLY consecutive even numbers
And also
x and (x+2)
x(x+2)=224 ( product of a number and the consecutive of that number)
x ²+ 2x-224=0
(x+16)(x-14) =0
x=-16 or 14
In this case 14 and (14+2) 14 and 16
The integers are either 14 and 16 or -14 and -16.
Using an exponential function, it is found that the bottle contains 255,960 atoms of tritium after 11 years.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem:
- The bottle initially contained 450,000 tritium atoms, hence A(0) = 450000.
- The amount decays by about 5% per year, hence r = 0.05.
Thus, the equation is given by:



After 11 years, the amount is given by:

The bottle contains 255,960 atoms of tritium after 11 years.
