Question 1031561: Find the value of k in the decay model P(t)=17250(1/2)^t/10 , where t denotes the number of years since 2000. Which of the following statements is true
A)the population is halved every 10 years
B)the population is the year 2000 was 8625
C)the population doubles every ten years
D) the population is growing by 50% every ten years Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Notice that when t = 10, the exponent of the 1/2 becomes 10/10, or 1. That shows you that the population is 1/2 of 17250 at year 10. At t=20, the exponent becomes 20/10 = 2 and the population is halved again...
Choice A.
