Suppose that when a skunk sprays, the odor has a half-life stink potency of 8 hours. This means that the skunks spray would have a stink odor of 100%
when it is first sprayed. Then, after 8 hours, it would smell half as bad (and
be at 50% of its potency). What percent potency would still exist after 1
day? Explain/show your work.

12.5% Potency

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x 3 = 24 hours in 1 day so 3 half lifes would progress in 24 hours.

100% Hour 0 Spray (Half Life 0)

50% Hour 8 Spray (Half Life 1)

25% Hour 16 Spray (Half Life 2)

12.5% Hour 24 Spray (Half Life 3)

dilation by a scale factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

from the origin the relationships between segment one is segment b and the other is segment c
