A charitable endowment starts with $900. Each daily it disburses 3% of its remaining funds. After 7 weeks its funds have decreased to a certain amount.
How would you solve for the final cash given this scenario?
a A LaTex expression showing P = P sub 0 times (1 + r) to the power of ( t over 7 )
b A LaTex expression showing P = P sub 0 times (1 - r) to the power of ( t times 7)
c A LaTex expression showing P = P sub 0 over (1 - r) to the power of ( t times 7)

A toxin starts at a concentration of 800mg/L. Each daily dialysis reduces it by 5%. After 3 weeks it has decreased to a certain concentration.
How would you solve for the final concentration given this scenario?
a A LaTex expression showing C = C sub 0 over (1 - r) to the power of ( t times 7)
b A LaTex expression showing C = C sub 0 times (1 + r) to the power of ( t over 7 )
c A LaTex expression showing C = C sub 0 times (1 - r) to the power of ( t times 7)
