Question

In a lab experiment, the decay of a radioactive isotope is being observed. At the beginning of the first day of the experiment the mass of the substance was 1000 grams and mass was decreasing by 14% per day. Determine the mass of the radioactive sample at the beginning of the 10th day of the experiment. Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).​

Answer 1

120.91 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the initial amount by the percent that will remain to the power of n-1, n being the term number, or how many days that have passed.

f(x)=1000(0.85)^14-1
