Answer:

1 represents the number of years passed.

step -by-step explanation:

The amount of a radioactive isotope decays in half every year. The amount of the isotope can be modeled by f(x) = 346 (1/2)x and f(1) = 173

Here 1 represents the number of years that passed.

So 1 represents the number of years.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
