A snowplow removes three fourths of the snow each time that it goes down a road. If a road starts with 24 inches of snow on it, determine how many times the road would need to be plowed in order for there to be less
than 1/2 inch of snow left on the road.

What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete this square? x^2-10x=7

Find the slope of the line below . enter your answer as a fraction or decimal. use a slash mark ( / ) as the fraction bar if necessary

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
