Question

The function f(t)=870(0.997)^{24t}f(t)=870(0.997) 24t represents the change in a quantity over t days. What does the constant 0.997 reveal about the rate of change of the quantity?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can see that the rate of change is 0.997, it is less than 1, this means it is decaying.

The value that decays then would be the subtraction between 1 and 0.997, like this:
