Question
Product Sales Use the sales decline function given in Exercise $40 .$ If $a=.10$ $S_{0}=50,000,$ and $t$ is time measured in years, find the number of years it will take for sales to fall to half the initial sales.
Step 1
We are given that $S_{0} = 50,000$, $a = 0.1$, and we want to find $t$ when $S(t) = \frac{S_{0}}{2} = 25,000$. Show more…
