The town of Mathville is building an arena shaped as a pyramid. If the base a square with sides measuring 600 feet and the height of the pyramid is 300 feet, what is the volume of this pyramid?

a. The initial value is 5575

b. The decay factor is 0.35 or 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay equation is given as;

y = 5575(0.65)^t

Mathematically, a decay equation can be written in the form;

A = Ir^t

where A is the amount at a time, I

is the initial value and r represents the decay rate

a. So by comparing this with what we have, we can see that the initial value is 5575

b. We want to write the decay factor

We can rewrite the equation as;

y = 5575 (1-0.35)^t

where 0.35 = 35/100 which can be said to be 35%
