Juan analyzes the amount of radioactive material remaining in a medical waste container over time. He writes the function f(x) = 10(0.98)x to represent the amount of radioactive material that will remain after x hours in the container. Rounded to the nearest tenth, how much radioactive material will remain after 10 hours?

Rounded to the nearest tenth would remain is 8.2 units is the answer. Just took the test.

Answer: There is approximately 8.2 amount of radioactive material that will remain after 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]f(x)=10(0.98)^x[/tex]

where, f(x) represents the amount of radioactive material that will remain after x hours in the container.

Since we have given that x = 10 hours.

So, our equation becomes,

[tex]f(10)=10\times (0.98)^{10}\\\\f(10)\approx 8.17\\\\f(10)\approx 8.2[/tex]

Hence, there is approximately 8.2 amount of radioactive material that will remain after 10 hours.
