Question

A lab sample decays exponentially in such away that the amount of the sample in grams t hours after it was unpacked is modeled by s ( t ) = 200 ( .74 ) t. How much of the sample will be left 10 hours after it was unpacked? Give your answer as a decimal accurate to two places.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here, sample decay function is  s(t)=200(.74)t 

which means that initially sample was 200gm.

After 10 hours sample decay  s(10)=200(.74)10

                                                  =200(.74)10= 9.847980

Sample left after 10 hours =initial sample-sample decay

                                           =200-9.847980

                                           =190.1520
