Reese is installing an in-ground rectangular pool in her backyard. Her pool will be 30 feet long, 14 feet wide, and have an average depth of 8 feet. She is installing two pipes to bring water to fill the pool; these pipes will also be used to drain the pool at the end of each season. One pipe can fill and drain the pool at a rate that is 1 more than 2 times faster than the other pipe. If both pipes are open and working properly, it will take 3.5 hours to fill the pool. When Reese opens the pipes to fill the pool, she finds that only the slower pipe is working. Write a rational equation that you can use to find out how long it will take to fill the pool under these circumstances. Explain how you came up with your equation.

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
