A radioactive material is known to decay at a yearly rate proportional to the amount at each moment. There were 1000 grams of the material 10 years ago. There are 980 grams right now. What will be the amount of the material right after 20 years

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 960.4

Step-by-step explanation:

980 = 1000[tex]e^{kt}[/tex]

.98 = [tex]e^{10 k}[/tex]

ln(.98) = 10k ln(e)

k = ln(.98)/10

k=-0.00202

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

x = 1000[tex]e^{20 *-.00202}[/tex]

x = 960.4
