In this video, we use exponential functions to model decay of quantities, specifically the model of exponential decay. In this video, we use exponential decay to model the decay of mass of a radioactive isotope.

This is lecture 43 (part 5/5) of the lecture series offered by Dr. Andrew Misseldine for the course Math 1050 - College Algebra at Southern Utah University. A transcript of this lecture can be found at Dr. Misseldine's website or through his Google Drive at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xqDSiXHCU6deetS7McrXkDi6KozqAX5f/view

This lecture is based upon general college algebra curriculum and not based upon an individual textbook. With that said, this lecture series is influenced by many great college algebra textbook on the market, namely Sullivan's, Stewart's, OpenStax's, McKeague's, Stitz-Zeager's, and many others.
