6. [3/4.5 Points] DETAILS PREVIOUS ANSWERS An air freshener starts with 34 grams and then evaporates. In each of the following cases, write a formula for the quantity, Q grams, of air freshener remaining t days after the start. (a) The decrease is 2 grams per day. Q(t) = 34 - 2t (b) The decrease is 6% per day. Q(t) = 34(.94)$^t$ (c) The decrease is at a continuous rate of 7% per day. Q(t) = 34 - 34e$^{-0.06t}$

An air freshener starts with 41 grams and evaporates. In each of the following cases, write a formula for the quantity, Q grams, of air freshener. (a) The decrease is 2 grams per day: Q = 41 - 2X (b) The decrease is 12% per day: Q = 41 - (0.12)(41) (c) The decrease is at a continuous rate of 7% per day: Q = 41 - (0.07)(41)
