Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer is correct because we have a decay factor.

The sample is losing mass, so the number that is being multiplied by a power of x must be less than 1.

If the second answer were used, then the sample would be gaining mass.

Mashutka [201]

we are given

first term is

a_1=42

common ratio is

r=\frac{3}{4}

now, we can find nth term

a_i=a_1(r)^{i-1}

now, we can plug values

a_i=42(\frac{3}{4})^{i-1}

now, we can write in sigma form

sum=\sum _{i=1}^{\infty }\:42(\frac{3}{4})^{i-1}

now, we can find sum

we can use formula

sum=\frac{a}{1-r}

now, we can plug values

we get

sum=\frac{42}{1-\frac{3}{4}}

sum=168

so, option-D.................Answer
