Thread: Can anyone solve this using reccurance relation!!!!!

1. A nuclear reactor has created 18 grams
of a particular radioactive isotope. Every
hour 1% of a radioactive isotope decays.

a) Set up a recurrence relation for the
amount of thus isotope left after

n

hours.

b) What are the initial conditions for the
recurrence relation in part (a)?

c) Solve this recurrence relation.

Hello, Jay dee!

This one is quite simple . . .
