Answer:
10·2^-8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The each day, the initial amount for that day is multiplied by 1/2. After 8 days, the initial amount has been multiplied by (1/2)^8, where the exponent of 8 signifies that (1/2) is a factor 8 times in the product.
After n days, the quantity remaining is ...
q(n) = 10·(1/2)^n = 10·2^(-n)
after 8 days the remaining amount is ...
q(8) = 10·2^-8 . . . grams
