Please Help! Just equations!

Ae^(-Bt) When t=0, the rate is 0.1, so A=0.1 When t=100, e^(-Bt)=1/2 and B=ln(2)/100 Then just put the given t and you get the rate at that time. To get the total oil that leaked in a certain time, just integrate that, because integration is the opposite of rate of change that is a derivative.

it says its not correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you write out the formula? i got 0.1e^ln2/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the formula I used.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, but there is a minus in the exponent. But do you have the correct answer with you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the answer is online. when i get it right i know. idk what it is now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cheked my answer again and I really think that is correct, Maybe I'm missing something. Is that the equation you put in the field?\[R(t)=0.1e^{-\frac{\ln 2}{100}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am putting that in and its not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I wrote it wrong, forgot the t in the exponent. Well, I would think that the answer key is wrong, but apart from that I can't help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does the t go?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[R(t)=0.1e^{-\frac{\ln 2}{100}t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that was correct. now for the second part do i take the integral?
