In a relation, the input is the number of people and the output is the number of backpacks. is this relation a function? why or why not?

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

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area of the triangular prism. a) 550 m2 b) 614 m2 c) 670 m2 d) 790 m2

Me solve this problem, and someone clearly explain to me how to solve it.1.) use the value of the discriminant to determine if the given trinomials has 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or no real solutions. a.  x2  − 4x  − 7 = 0b. 4r2  + 11r  − 3 = 0c. 3m2  + 7 = 0d.  t2  + 2t  + 1 = 0
