Given the equation 2x + 4 = 4x − 2, select the reasoning that correctly solves for x.
add 2, subtract 2x, then divide by 2.
add 2, subtract 4x, then divide by −2.
subtract 4, subtract 2x, then divide by −2.
subtract 4, subtract 4x, then divide by 2.

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

What percent of the circle below is shaded?

Which of the statements about the graph of the function y = 2x are true? check all of the boxes that apply. the domain is all real numbers x because the exponent of 2 can be any real number when the x-values increases by 1 unit, the y-value multiplies by 2. the y-intercept is (0, 1). the graph never goes below the x-axis because powers of 2 are never negative. the range is all real numbers.
