Provide an appropriate response.The series of sketches below starts with an equilateral triangle having sides of length 1 (one). In the following steps, equilateral triangles are constructed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the preceding triangle. Develop a formula for the area of the nth new triangle. Use math induction to prove your answer.


What will be an ideal response?

Solve the problem.For a particular radioactive sample, the decay rate C in disintegrations per second can be modeled by the equation logeC = loge194 - 0.09t, where t is the elapsed time in minutes. Solve this equation for the decay rate C as a function of time t.
A. C = 194e0.09t B. C = e194 + e-0.09t C. C = 194e-0.09t D. C = 194 + e-0.09t
