Convert the Exponential Function to the Form Indicated $f ( t ) = 23.2 ( 0.997 ) ^ { t }$

question 23

Multiple Choice

Convert the exponential function to the form indicated. Round all coefficients to four significant digits.

$f ( t ) = 23.2 ( 0.997 ) ^ { t }$ ; $f ( t ) = Q _ { 0 } e ^ { - k ^ { \prime } t }$

• A) \(Q _ { 0 } = 23.2\) , \(k = 0.004754\)
• B) \(Q _ { 0 } = 23.2\) , \(k = 0.003005\)
• C) \(Q _ { 0 } = 23.2\) , \(k = 0.001256\)
• D) \(Q _ { 0 } = 23.1\) , \(k = 0.008252\)
• E) \(Q _ { 0 } = 23.1\) , \(k = 0.006503\)
