Question

A type of radioactive element has a daily radioactive decay rate of 0.6%. If 9 pounds of this element are available today, find how much will still remain after 50 days. Use $y = 9(2.7)^{-0.006t}$, and let t be 50. If needed, enter your answer to 5 decimal places. $y=$ pounds.

Step 1

The given decay formula is $y = 9(2.7)^{-0.006t}$. We are also given that $t = 50$. Step 2: Substitute the value of $t$ into the formula. $y = 9(2.7)^{-0.006 \times 50}$ Step 3: Calculate the exponent. $-0.006 \times 50 = -0.3$ Step 4: Substitute the calculated Show more…
