Question 651420: The following function represents exponential decay. What is the initial quantity? What is the continuous decay rate?
Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The general form of exponential growth/decay is:
where
A is initial amount
r is rate
.
so, given
we can determine the answers directly from inspection:
initial quantity: 72
decay rate: -0.14
