y=100(0.99)^50
This equation represents the amount of radioactive material that will remain after 50 days, starting with an initial amount of 100 grams and with a decay constant of 0.01 per day.
Consider the following scenario: A sample of radioactive material has a decay constant of 0.01 per day. If there are initially 100 grams of the material, what equation would you use to determine how much will remain after 50 days?(1 point) Responses y=100(0.99)50 y equals 100 left parenthesis 0.99 right parenthesis superscript 50 baseline y=50(0.99)100 y equals 50 left parenthesis 0.99 right parenthesis superscript 100 baseline y=50(0.01)100 y equals 50 left parenthesis 0.01 right parenthesis superscript 100 baseline y=100(0.01)50
