A researcher wants to see if a kelp extract helps prevent frost damage on tomato plants. One hundred tomato plants in individual containers are randomly assigned to two different groups. Plants in both groups are treated identically, except that the plants in group 1 are sprayed weekly with a kelp extract, while the plants in group 2 are not. After the first frost, 12 of the 50 plants in group 1 exhibited damage and 18 of the 50 plants in group 2 showed damage. Let p1 be the actual proportion of all tomato plants of this variety that would experience damage under the kelp treatment, and let p2 be the actual proportion of all tomato plants of this variety that would experience damage under the no-kelp treatment. Is there evidence of a decre

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
