Answer:
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the surface area of an oil spill gets 131% larger every day, represented by the function
Where x is number of days.
On the first day, it covered an area of 21 square meters. It means the initial area is 21 square meters.
The function is defined as
Where is initial value and b is growth factor.
It means the function of new area is the product of initial area and increasing area function. The required function is
Therefore option B is correct.
The answers will be -5,-1,-1 and 1
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (

elapsed time =

Your answer is 160
2 times Negative 8 plus 5 times Negative 2 is 160 cause the negatives cancel out
1 7/12 becuase 2 neg is a neg, 1 neg and 1 pos is which is bigger in this case it is pos.
