Answer:

1.0 gram (rounded from .98)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this is an exponential equation, which are of the form a*b^x where a is the initial amount and b is the decay (or growth) rate.  a is easy, 430, b though you have to make sure it is in decimal form.  So for percent form (like you have) just move the decimal place to the left two times, so 27.4% becomes .274.

Now we have the equation 430*.274^x which shows the scenario listed.  just plug in 19 for x.  

Do keep in mind if they were different units, like t decayed for 19 hours, you would have to convert those too.  Let me know if you need more of an explanation.

Which table contains only corresponding x-values and y-values where the value of y is one more than the product of x and 2?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of y is more than the product of x and 2.

Equation representing the given condition will be,

y = 2x + 1

Therefore, by substituting the values of x in the equation we can get the table for the input - output values for the equation,

x        0       1         2        3        4

y         1        3        5        7        9

Therefore, table given in the Option (C) will be the correct option.
