question
Carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5,730 years. This exponential decay can be modeled with the function N(t) = N0. If an organism had 200 atoms of carbon-14 at death, how many atoms will be present after 14,325 years? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. atoms

question
A doctor estimates that a particular patient is losing bone density at a rate of 3% annually. The patient currently has a bone density of 1,500 kg/mg3. The doctor writes an exponential function to represent the situation. Which values should the doctor use for a and b in a function written in the form f(x) = abx, where f(x) represents the bone density after x years?
answer
1500 0.97
question
A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the population of bees seems to be decreasing steadily at a rate of 5% per year. If the number of bees in the population after x years is represented by f(x), which statements about the situation are true? Check all that apply.

question
How do the graphs of the functions f(x) = ()x and g(x) = ()x compare?
answer
The graphs are reflections of each other over the y-axis. The graph of g(x) shows exponential decay, while the graph of f(x) shows exponential growth.
