A student is given that point P(a, b) lies on the terminal ray of angle Theta, which is between StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFraction radians and 2Pi radians. The student uses the steps below to find cos Theta. Which of the following explains whether the student is correct? The student made an error in step 3 because a is positive in Quadrant IV; therefore, cosine theta = StartFraction a Over StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot EndFraction = StartFraction a StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot Over a squared + b squared EndFraction. The student made an error in step 3 because cosine theta = StartFraction negative b Over StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot EndFraction = Negative StartFraction b StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot Over a squared + b squared EndFraction. The student made an error in step 2 because r is negative in Quadrant IV; therefore, r = Negative StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot. The student made an error in step 2 because using the Pythagorean theorem gives r = plus-or-minus StartRoot (a squared) minus (b squared) EndRoot = StartRoot a squared minus b squared EndRoot.

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
