1.

Radioactive decay: There was originally 60 g worth of a certain drug, how much of this drug would be left after 90 years? Assume the half-life is 80 years. (Use 2 decimal places and dont forget unit if meron)

(a)  

2.

Radioactive decay: The half-life of a drug that has a mass of 24 g is 1 week, how much of the drug is left after 70 days? (Use 2 decimal places and dont forget unit if meron)

(a)  

3.

Exponential decay: A house currently costs 3000000, it depreciates approximately 8% per year. How much would the house be worth in 50 years (Use 2 decimal places and dont forget unit (use Php))

(a)  

4.

Radioactive decay: A 5 g sample of a drug decays to 0.03 g after 96 hours, What is its half-life? (Use 2 decimal places and dont forget unit if meron)

(a)  

5.

Exponential decay: Identify the rate of decay if a drug originally had a mass of 1 kg and decays to 50 g after 2 months (Use 4 decimal places and dont forget unit, if percent use 2 decimal places if meron)

(a)  

6.
