f(400) = 20(0.5)400/218
f(400) ≈ 20(0.5)1.83486)
f(400) ≈ 20(0.28)
f(400) ≈ 5.6
Ris K.
asked 05/20/20Pete discovered a new radioactive substance, and named it Vassilium. The half-life of Vassilium is 218 years. If he starts with 20 grams of the substance, write a function to represent the number of grams of Vassilium that will remain after x years. To the nearest tenth, how many grams of Vassilium will remain after 400 years?
find f(x)=
and # of grams
