Question 1028972: The half-life of a substance is 12 hours. Find k to complete A = A sub 0 e^kt.
Using the same k, how long will it take for a sample of this substance to go from 150g to 100g? After every computation, round to the nearest hundredth.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Question 1029083: The number of cars and light trucks sold in China is increasing exponentially and can be estimated by: N(t)=1.09(1.3)^t, where N(t) is in millions of vehicles and t is the number of years after 2000.
A.) Estimate the number of cars and light trucks sold in China in 2000,2010, and in 2014.
B.) Graph the function.
My question is how do I figure out the points on the graph? 1.09(1.3)^0,1.09(1.3)^10, 1.09(1.3)^14 or?

Question 1032718: A satellite has a radioactive isotope power supply. The power output in watts is given by the equation P = 50e^(t/250), where P is the power in watts and t is the time in days.
a ) What is the half life of the power supply?
b) The equipment aboard the satellite requires 10 watts of power to operate properly. What is the operational life of the satellite?
I am having trouble setting up these equations properly.

Question 1032719: A hard boiled egg has a temperature of 98 degrees celsius. If it is put into a sink that maintains a temperature of 18 degrees celsius, its temperature x minutes later is given by
T(x) = 18+80e ^-0.28x. Hilda needs her egg to be exactly 30 degrees celsius for decorating. How long should she leave it in the water?
I am confused on how to set this equation up properly.
