After a spill of radioactive iodine, measurements showed the ambient radiation levels at the site of the spill to be four times the maximum acceptable limit. the level of radiation from the iodine source decreases according to the formula: r(t) = r0e-0.004twhere r is the radiation level (in millirems/hour) at time in t hours and r0 is the initial radiation level (at t=0).
a) how long will it take for the site to reach an acceptable level of radiation?
b) how much total radiation (in millirems) will have been emitted by that time, assuming the maximum acceptable limit is 0.6 millirems/hour?

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
