A bacteria colony is quickly growing in a petri dish. The number of bacteria, y , is modeled by the function y=2(10)^2 where x is the number of days since the colony started. Baelsed on the equation how many more bacteria are there on day 4 than on day 2? A. 19800

B. 9900

C. 159600

D. 40

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

Apsychology student wishes to investigate differences in political opinions between business majors and political science majors at her college. she randomly selects 100 students from the 260 business majors and 100 students from the 180 political science majors. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? why or why not? no, because each group of 200 students in the sample does not have the same chance of being selected. yes, because each group of 200 students in the sample has the same chance of being selected. no, because each individual student does not have an equal chance of being selected. yes, because each individual student has the same chance of being selected.
