Multiple Choice

Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
-A nuclear scientist has a sample of $100 \mathrm { mg }$ of a radioactive material which has a half-life in hours. She monitors the amount of radioactive material over a period of a day and obtains the following data. Use a graphing utility to fit an exponential function to the data. Predict the amount of material remaining at 40 hours.
$\begin{array}{l|lcccccc}\text { Hours } & 0 & 5 & 10 & 15 & 20 & 25 & 30 \\\hline \mathrm{mg} & 100 & 68.3 & 45.2 & 31.3 & 21.5 & 14.6 & 9.8\end{array}$

• A) \(y = 92 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.0686 x } , 5.9 \mathrm { mg }\)
• B) \(y = 86 e ^ { - 0.071 x , 5.0 \mathrm { mg } }\)
• C) \(y = 100 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.077 x } , 4.6 \mathrm { mg }\)
• D) \(y = 100 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.077 x } , 6.7 \mathrm { mg }\)
