Question 987663: So I have a linear equation f(t)= 100(0.2)^t/4
Using this I am supposed to show that the halving time is constant no matter what t we consider, if you add +t=1.725 to any value for t, the value is halved.
I know how to express this in words, as it's fairly intuitive, but I'm not sure how to demonstrate it in mathematical notation for any value of t.
It would be very helpful if you could also show the halving time values over the range of f(0) to f(10)
Thanks.

What ever possessed you to call a linear equation?

Write back with the definition of a linear equation and tell me the type of function that this really is, and then I'll give you a complete answer to your question.
