A radioactive substance loses half its amount every 50 years. Which type of function best models this scenario?(1 point)

Question

Responses

exponential decay function
exponential decay function

quadratic function

exponential growth function
exponential growth function

linear function

Answer 1

The scenario described is best modeled by an exponential decay function. This is because the substance loses half its amount over a consistent period (50 years), which is characteristic of exponential decay.
