8-52.Deniz’s computer is infected with a virus that will erase information from her hard drive. It will erase information quickly at first, but as time goes on, the rate at which information is erased will decrease. Intminutes after the virus starts erasing information, 5,000,000bytes of information remain on the hard drive.

  1. Before the virus starts erasing, how many bytes of information are on Deniz’s hard drive?
  1. After how many minutes will there be 1000 bytes of information left on the hard drive?
  1. When will the hard drive be completely erased?
