5. Exponential Regression. Enter data: STAT button/EDIT column/EDIT function Enter turn data into L1/enter M&M’s data into L2 2 nd button/MODE button Regression STAT button/CALC column/0 or ExpReg function Type L1, L2 Enter Y = a(b) x where a = __________/ b = _________ Does a equal your initial starting value? Why? Is this a half-life scenario? Why/Why not?

6. Growth & Decay Ex.#2 Let y represent the mass of a particular radioactive element whose half-life is 25 years. After t years, the mass in grams is given by. a.What is the initial mass (when t = 0)? b.How much of the element is present after 80 years?

7. Growth & Decay Ex.#2 Let y represent the mass of a particular radioactive element whose half-life is 25 years. After t years, the mass in grams is given by. a.What is the initial mass (when t = 0)? b.How much of the element is present after 80 years? So points on the graph: Let m 0 = initial mass m 80 = mass after 80 yrs Points on graph (25, m 0 /2 ) (0, m 0 ) (80, m 0 )

8. Growth & Decay Ex.#3 Let y represent the mass of a particular radioactive element. After t years, the mass in grams is given by. a.What is the initial mass (when t = 0)? b.After 20 years there are 15 grams of the element left; what is the half life?
