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:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
5/15=3/v
5v=15×3
5v=75
5v/5=75/5
v=15
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
19 is the answer I think so
Using the function concept, it is found that:
- Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.
In a function, <u>one value of the input can be related to only one value of the output</u>.
- In a graph, it means that for each value of x(horizontal axis), there can be only one respective value of y(vertical axis).
In this problem, at Graph A, when x = 5, for example a vertical line crosses the function 3 times, hence there are 3 respective values of y for x = 5, and the same is valid for other values of x, hence it is not a function.
At Graph B, <u>for each value of x, there is only one value of y</u>, hence it is a function.
Hence:
Graph B is a function because each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value.
