    2  Exponential  Decay  –  Worksheet  


    MCR3U  
    Jensen  
     
     
    1
    1)  During  medical  treatment,  the  number  of  bacterial  cells  in  a  patient  decreases  by  a  factor  of    every  
    2
    day.  A  patient  has  1 000 000  bacterial  cells  on  Monday,  the  first  day  of  treatment.  
       

     
    a)  How  many  bacterial  cells  will  remain  on  Thursday?  
     
     
     
     
     
    b)  How  many  bacterial  cells  will  remain  on  Sunday?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
    c)  On  what  day  will  the  number  of  remaining  bacterial  cells  be  1950?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    2)  Tungsten-­‐187  (W-­‐187)  is  a  radioactive  isotope  that  has  a  half-­‐life  of  1  day.  Suppose  you  start  with  a  
    100-­‐mg  sample…  
     
    a)  make  a  table  of  values  that  gives  the  amount  of  tungsten  remaining  at  the  end  of  each  day  for  the  next  
    4  days.    
     
     
      Amount  of  W-­‐187  
    Time  (days)  
      remaining

      2  
      3    
     
      4    
     
    b)  Write  an  equation  in  the  form  𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑏 !    to  relate  the  amount  of  W-­‐187  remaining  and  time.  
     
     
     
     
    c)  Sketch  a  graph  of  the  relation  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    d)  How  much  W-­‐187  will  remain  after  1  week?  
     
     
     
     
     
    e)  How  long  will  it  take  for  the  W-­‐187  to  decay  to  5%  of  its  initial  amount?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    3)  Shylo  is  very  excited  about  her  brand  new  car!  Although  she  paid  $20  000  for  the  car,  its  resale  value  
    will  depreciate  (decrease)  by  30%  of  its  current  value  every  year.    
     
    a)  Write  an  equation  relating  the  car’s  depreciated  value,  v,  in  dollars,  to  the  time,  t,  in  years  since  her  
    purchase.    
     
     
     
     
    b)  How  much  will  Shylo’s  car  be  worth  in…  
     
      i)  1  year?             ii)  2  years?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    c)  Graph  the  depreciation  function.    
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    d)  How  long  will  it  take  for  Shylo’s  car  to  depreciate  to  10%  of  its  original  price?  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    4)  An  isotope  of  a  radioactive  substance  has  a  half-­‐life  of  23  days.  Suppose  that  you  start  with  an  800-­‐mg  
    sample  of  the  material.    
     
    a)  Find  an  equation  that  models  this  data  
     
     
     
    b)  Use  the  equation  to  determine  the  amount  of  substance  left  after  100  days
