Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.
An exponential decaying function is expressed as:
Where:
C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t
Co is the initial value of C at t=0
r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal
The concentration of the pollutants starts at Co=5 mg/lt. We also know the pollutant reduces its concentration by 10% each hour. This gives us a value of r = 10% / 100 = 0.1
Substituting into the general equation:
Operating:
