Answer:
nonlinear
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of x in the equation is not 0 or 1, so the function is nonlinear.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Your function graphs as a parabola, not a straight line. A function is only linear if its graph is a straight (non-vertical) line.
Answer:
Per hour decay of the isotope is 0.96%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of radioactive element remaining after t hours is represented by

where a = initial amount
t = duration of decay (in hours)
Amount remaining after 1 hour will be,

y = 0.9904a
So amount of decay in one hour = a - 0.9904a
= 0.0096a gms
Percentage decay every hour = 
= 
= 0.958 %
≈ 0.96 %
Therefore, per hour decay of the radioactive isotope is 0.96%.

Answer: There are 4 possibilities. They are all listed below with their percents.
You can create a tree diagram to shows all of the possibilities. It will start with 2 branches and then each of those branches will have 2 branches.
The possibilities are: UU, UD, DU, DD
To find the probabilities of each, you have to multiply the percent for each together.
UU = 0.66 x 0.66 = 0.4356
UD = 0.66 x 0.34 = 0.2244
DU = 0.34 x 0.66 = 0.2244
DD = 0.34 x 0.34 = 0.1156
So the exchange rate from one US dollar to a Canadian dollar is equal to 1.30 Canadian dollars. So in this current situation if you swapped all of your US dollars for Canadian dollars you would have $13000 Canadian dollars
