OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please what is your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The decay of 923 mg of an isotope described by the function A(t)= 923e-0.027t, where t is time in years. Find the amount left after 76 years. Round your answer to the nearest mg. Show all of your work for full credit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A(t)= 923e^-0.027t

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

after 76 years you have: your amount= \[A(76)=923*e ^{-(0.027*76)}=...\] please complete the calculus above.

118.584908865802 ?? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I got 614.98.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will do it again @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 118.584908865802.... @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Please I do it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 614.98 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait a moment...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A(t) = 923x e^{-0.027t}\] \[A(76) = 923e ^{-0.027(76)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A(76) = 923e ^{-2.052}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this the answer? @BPDlkeme234

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A(76) =923 x (0.128477691)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I get 118.63

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A(76) = 118.5849089

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chappy, you got it yourself earlier!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha @Michele_Laino @BPDlkeme234 Well Thank you so much

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its okay! you helped me a lot ! thank you so much :) @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you, again!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@chappy I did the calculus with Microsoft Excel, and I got your early answer, namely 118.43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used mathway... haha so I basically cheated.. @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what a naughty girl! LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha @BPDlkeme234

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@chappy0729 I did the same calculus with my logarithm tables, and I got 118.9 another time!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Michele_Laino, only difference is round-off error, which is why I left it until last minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@BPDlkeme234 yes I know, you are right!
