One type of uranium has a daily radioactive decay of 0.5%. If 10 pounds of uranium is available today, how much will remain after 10 days. Use y=10(2.7)^-0.005t let t be 10 days | <p>y=10(2.7)^-0.005(10)</p>
<p>y=10(2.7)^-0.05</p>
<p>y=10(0.95155)</p>
<p>y~9.55 lbs</p>

Exponential Growth | y=C(1+r)^x
where C is the initial amount, x is the time interval, r is the growth rate (often %) and (1+r) is growth factor

Find the exponential growth Original amount is $300 Growth rate is 5% Number of years is 8 | <p>y=C(1+r)^x</p>
<p>y=300(1+0.05)^8</p>
<p>y=300(1.48)</p>
<p>y~444</p>

Exponential Decay | y=C(1-r)^x
Where C is the initial amount, r is the decay rate (often %), x is the number of time intervals, (1-r) is decay factor
