Problema Solution
the number of cells in a culture decreases at a rate of 3% each day. If there are 200 cells in the initial culture, write an exponential equation to represent the cell population,y, on any day, x, where x is the number of days since the initial state
Answer provided by our tutors
the population is modeled by the equation
y = y0 * (e^(-rt))
where
y0 = 200 cells the initial culture
r = 0.03 relative rate of decay
the exponential equation to represent the cell population is
y = 200*(e^(-0.03x))
