Suppose there are 267 grams of a radioactive substance that decays at a rate of 3.5% per hour. How much of the substance, in grams, will there be 24 hours?
Do the following for the situation above:
• Define the variables x and y.
• State the initial Value.
• Is this situation Growth or Decay?
• State the Growth/Decay Factor.
• Write the equation that models the situation.
. Determine the amount of the substance in 24 hours. (ROUND to the nearest
whole number)
. BE SURE AND USE THE EQUATION EDITOR WHEN APPROPRIATE SUCH AS
WRITING THE EQUATION
