The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the
amount present initially. The mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance
cobalt-60 present in a sample at time < (years) is represented by the
-0.13151
exponential equation y = 50 e
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.
1. How does the exponential equation above compare to the equation
for simple interest that is compounded continuously? Explain the
similarities. What is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample?
2. How much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? Show your work
3. What would be the y-intercept of the graph? What does it
represent?
4. After how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25
mg? Explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years?
5. Discuss some real-world" examples and uses of cobalt-60

Brittany has designed four different birdcages, each with the same volume: a square pyramid, a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. the zoo wants to use one of brittany’s designs but plans to change the volume of the cage. find the design change that would result in the birdcage with the greatest volume. increase the area of the base of the square pyramid by a factor of ten. increase the height of the cylinder by a factor of ten. increase the radius of the cone by a factor of ten. increase the radius of a sphere by a factor of ten. juan wants to build a greenhouse in his back yard. he needs to maximize the ratio of floor area to structure volume in order to provide the most room for plants while minimizing the area to be heated. find the description of the structure that best meets juan’s criteria. a cube with a side length of 12 feet a cone with a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 10 feet a square pyramid with a base side length of 12 feet and a height of 9 feet a hemisphere with a diameter of 12 feet marion has a bicycle that she is planning to take for a ride. the rim of the rear wheel lies 41 cm from the center of the wheel. the tire itself has a thickness of 3 cm.in order to marion to ride her bicycle 96,712 cm, approximately how many rotations will the rear wheel make? 350 15.9 376 5133 an isosceles trapezoid has perimeter of 42 inches. each of the congruent nonparallel sides is 5 inches long, and the trapezoid is 3 inches tall. how long are the two parallel sides? 10 inches and 16 inches 12 inches and 20 inches 16 inches and 16 inches 10 inches and 22 inches

Suppose you are choosing a 6-digit personal access code. this code is made up of 4 digits chosen from 1 to 9, followed by 2 letters chosen from a to z. any of these digits or letters can be repeated. find the total number of personal access codes that can be formed. 492,804 341,172 39,917,124 4,435,236

The volume of the a sphere whoes diameter is 18 cm is cubic cm . if it's diameter were reduced by half, it's volume would be of its original volume
