Please help me.. All the Experts out there. Your contribution is HIGHLY appreciated. The amount of mice that survive a new cancer treatment can be modeled by y = 67 • 0..
Determine which number represents the initial amount.
67
0.6
40.2
12

The number in the equation that represents the original amount of mice would be 14 since the 0.25x would be representing the rate the mice survive the treatment. As according to the exponential equation formula, y=ab^x, a is the value of the principal amount, b is the variable that represents the growth/decay rate, and the x value shows the amount of times the object/thing grows or decays.
