Sociologists have found that information spreads among a population at an exponential rate. How do you think this happens? Describe a piece of good news circulating through your circle of friends or family. How is this exponential?

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

In each of the cases that follow, the magnitude of a vector is given along with the counterclockwise angle it makes with the +x axis. use trigonometry to find the x and y components of the vector. also, sketch each vector approximately to scale to see if your calculated answers seem reasonable. (a) 50.0 n at 60.0°, (b) 75 m/ s at 5π/ 6 rad, (c) 254 lb at 325°, (d) 69 km at 1.1π rad.
