Convert 153 degrees into radians to the nearest to decimals places

1 answer:

6 0

Since we know there are π radians in 180°, then how many radians are there in 153°?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
radians&de grees\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\pi &180\\
x&153
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{x}=\cfrac{180}{153}\implies \cfrac{\pi \cdot 153}{180}=x\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{17\pi }{20}}=x$

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass after $t$ days and $y(0) = A$ then $y(t) = Ae^{kt}.$

$y(1) = Ae^k = 0.945A \implies e^k = 0.945 \implies k = \ln 0.945$

$\text{Then } Ae^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \frac{1}{2}A\ \Leftrightarrow\ \ln e^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \ln \frac{1}{2}\ \Leftrightarrow\ ( \ln 0.945) t = \ln \frac{1}{2} \Leftrightarrow \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 12.25 \text{ years}$

(b)
$Ae^{(\ln 0.945) t} = 0.20 A \ \Leftrightarrow\ (\ln 0.945) t \ln \frac{1}{5}\ \implies \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 28.45\text{ years}$
