Question: 1 . Strontium - 9 0 has a half - life of 2 8 days. Suppose a sample has an initial mass of 2 5

1. Strontium-90 has a half-life of 28 days. Suppose a sample has an initial mass of25 mg.
a)Find an expression for the mass of the sample of Strontium-90 after tt days.
b) Find the mass of the sample after50 days. Round to three decimal places.
c) How long does it take for the sample to contain only3mg of Strontium-90? Round to three decimal places.
2. A bacteria culture grows with a constant relative growth rate. The bacteria count was 400 after 2 hours and 15,625after 6 hours.
a) What is the relative growth rate? Enter the exact value fork.
b) What was theinitial size of the culture?
c) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after t hours.
d) Find the number of cells after33 hours.
e) When will the population reach 1,000,000? Round to three decimal places.
3. The United States population in 1800 was 5,308,000 and in 19001900 was 76,212,000. Assume t=0 in1800 and the population grew at a rate proportional to its size.
a) Find P(t), the number of people in the United States at time tt according to this data. (Use an exact value for the rate,k.)
b) Using this model, predict the U.S. population in the year 2000. Round to the nearest person.
4. Suppose the position, in meters, of a particle moving along a horizontal line after tt seconds can be modeled by the function
s(t)=5/4t^420/3t^330t^2+30t t0
a) Find the velocity, v(t) of the particle at time t.
b) At what time(s) is the velocity of the particle 30 m/s? Separate multiple values with a comma.
c) At what time(s) is the acceleration of the particle 0 m/s2? Separate multiple values with a comma.
5. When a drink is taken from a refrigerator, its temperature is4C. After20 minutes in a25C room, its temperature has increased to14C
a)What is the temperature of the drink after60 minutes? Round to three decimal places.
b) When will its temperature be22C? Round to three decimal places.
