The surface area S of a cube is equal to the sum of the areas of the 6 square faces that form the cube. We want to paint the cube and need to know how many square units of paint to purchase. If each face has side length s, then the formula S = 6s2 can be used to find the surface area of the cube. The length of a side is indicated in the cube below( s = x - 5). The surface area of the cube is 1944 units2.

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 t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . 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. 2. 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
