Solve the Problem $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { n } ) = 700 ( 0.5 ) ^ { 0.6 \mathrm { n } }$

question 37

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The amount of particulate matter left in solution during a filtering process decreases by the equation $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { n } ) = 700 ( 0.5 ) ^ { 0.6 \mathrm { n } }$ , where $\mathrm { n }$ is the number of filtering steps. Find the amounts left for $\mathrm { n } = 0$ and $\mathrm { n } = 5$ . (Round to the nearest whole number.)

• A) \(700 ; 22\)
• B) \(700 ; 88\)
• C) \(1400 ; 88\)
• D) \(700 ; 5600\)
