If
is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year
, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

Let
be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

or simply

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

where
is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount
decays after 1 year, so that

Then after 50 years, we have

Answer:
I dont understand the context of the question but something eqqual to that would be -6/8

Answer:
c o s t = x \displaystyle P: \text{cos}t=x P:cost=x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine of t is equal to the x-coordinate of point P
