Which one of the following graphs best represents the equation shown?
y = -x^2 + 3

How to determine whether two known pairs of points are on the same line.

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

Which statements are true? check all that apply. the line x = 0 is perpendicular to the line y = –3. all lines that are parallel to the y-axis are vertical lines. all lines that are perpendicular to the x-axis have a slope of 0. the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis that passes through the point (2, –6) is x = 2. the equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (–5, 1) is y = 1.
