Question 369820: Find an exponential function with an initial mass = 12mg and increasing at a rate of 10.2% per hour. How would I do this!?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\ =\ M_o(1+r)^t)
where )
is the mass as a function of time, 
, 
is the rate of increase/decrease as a decimal, and 
is the initial mass.
For your problem the time units are hours, inital mass is 12mg, and the rate as a decimal is 0.102.
\ =\ 12(1.102)^t)
