In April 1986, a flawed reactor design played a part in the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown. Approximately 14252 becqurels (Bqs), units of radioactivity, were initially released into the environment. Only areas with less than 800 Bqs are considered safe for human habitation. The function \( f(x)=14252(0.5)^{\frac{x}{22}} \) describes the amount, \( f(x) \), in becqurels, of a radioactive element remaining in the area \( x \) years after 1986. Find \( f(40) \), to one decimal place, in order to determine the amount of becqurels in 2026. Determine if the area is safe for human habitation in the year 2026. Yes, because by 2026 , the radioactive element remaining in the area is less than \( 800 \mathrm{Bqs} \). No, because by 2026 , the radioactive element remaining in the area is less than \( 800 \mathrm{Bqs} \). Yes, because by 2026 , the radioactive element remaining in the area is greater than \( 800 \mathrm{Bqs} \). No, because by 2026, the radioactive element remaining in the area is greater than \( 800 \mathrm{Bqs} \). Question Help:
