Sagot :
Given equation,
[tex]y=350e^{-0.07t}[/tex]The continuous decay rate is the differential of the function
Thus,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(350e^{-0.07t}) \\ =350(-0.07)e^{-0.07t} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus the rate of continuous deacay is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{y}\times100\%=\frac{350(-0.07)e^{-0.07t}}{350e^{-0.07t}}\times100\% \\ =-0.07\times100\% \\ =-7\% \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus the cotinuous decay rate per year is -7%.
