Question

Writing and evaluating a function modeling continuous exponential growth or decay given doubling time or half-life

Answer 1

We were given the following details:

Half-life = 11 minutes

Initial amount = 598.8 grams

`\begin{gathered} y=a_0e^(kt) \\ where\colon \\ y=amount \\ a_0=Initial\text{ }Amount \\ e=euler^(\prime)s\text{ }constant \\ k=decay\text{ }constant \\ t=time \end{gathered}`

a)

We have the exact formula to be:
