Answer:

We have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the decay equation.

M_{f}=M_{i}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

  • M(f) and M(i) are the final and initial mass respectively
  • λ is the decay constant (ln(2)/t(1/2))
  • t(1/2) is the half-life of Co
  • t is the time at the final amount of m

M_{f}=228e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{7} 1.5}    

M_{f}=197\: g    

<u>Therefore, we have 197 g of Co-60 after 18 months.</u>

I hope it helps you!

A negative scale factor inverts the original image and scales it to what the number is.

An expansion means the image would get bigger.

For an image to get bigger the scale factor needs be be greater than 1.


-2 means the image would increase in size and be inverted.

2 means the image would increase in size.


The two correct scale factors are -2 and 2.
