Answer:

a) -dm/m = k*dt

b) m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) m= 8.842 gr

( same results obtained previously by Xero099)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of radium is proportional to its quantity . Denoting as m the mass of Radium , and t as time. we have:

a) -dm/dt = k*m , where k is the proportionality constant

b) solving the differential equation;

-dm/m = k*dt

∫dm/m = -∫k*dt

ln m = -k*t + C

for t=0 , we have m=m₀ (initial mass)

then

ln m₀ = 0 + C → C=ln m₀

therefore

ln (m/m₀) = -k*t

m=m₀*e^(-k*t)

c) for t= 1690 years , the quantity of radium is half , then m=m₀/2 , thus

ln (m₀/2/m₀) = -k*t

ln (1/2) =   -k*t

(ln 2 )/t = k

k =  ln 2  / 1690 years = 4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹

then for m₀= 10 g

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*t)

d) at t= 300 years

m=10 g*e^(-4.1* 10⁻⁴ years⁻¹*300 years) = 8.842 gr

then the mass is m= 8.842 gr

Answer:

a) \frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m, b) m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }, c) m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }, d) m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let assume an initial mass m decaying at a constant rate k throughout time, the differential equation is:

\frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m

b) The general solution is found after separating variables and integrating each sides:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

Where \tau is the time constant and k = \frac{1}{\tau}

c) The time constant is:

\tau = \frac{1690\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau = 2438.155\,yr

The particular solution of the differential equation is:

m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }

d) The amount of radium after 300 years is:

m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

Problem 4

<h3>Answer:</h3>

f(x) = \begin{cases}2x+4 \text{ if } x < 1\\x-3 \text{ if } x \ge 1\end{cases}

------------------

Work Shown:

The left line goes through (-2,0) and (0,4)

The slope of this line is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-0)/(0-(-2))

m = (4-0)/(0+2)

m = 4/2

m = 2

The y intercept is b = 4

Since m = 2 and b = 4, this means y = mx+b turns into y = 2x+4. This portion is only done when x < 1. Note the open circle at the endpoint of this portion. So we do not include x = 1 as part of this piece.

---

The line on the right side goes through (1,-2) and (2,-1)

Slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-1-(-2))/(2-1)

m = (-1+2)/(2-1)

m = 1/1

m = 1

The y intercept is b = -3. You can see this if you extend the line until it crosses the y axis.

Alternatively, plug in (x,y) = (1,-2) and m = 1 into y = mx+b to find that b = -3

So y = mx+b turns into y = 1x+(-3) or just y = x-3

We combine both parts to end up with f(x) = \begin{cases}2x+4 \text{ if } x < 1\\x-3 \text{ if } x \ge 1\end{cases}

This is only graphed when x \ge 1 (note the closed or filled in circle for the endpoint of this portion).

===================================================

Problem 5

Answer:

<h3>f(x) = \frac{1}{2}|x+3| is the absolute value function</h3><h3>while this is the piecewise function</h3>

f(x) = \begin{cases}-\frac{1}{2}(x+3) \text{ if } x < -3\\\frac{1}{2}(x+3) \text{ if } x \ge -3\end{cases}\\

------------------

Work Shown:

y = |x| .... parent function

y = |x+3| ... shift 3 units to the left

y = (1/2)*|x+3| .... vertically compress by factor of 1/2

f(x) = (1/2)*|x+3|

------

Break that down into a piecewise function

when x < -3, then y = -(1/2)(x+3)

when x \ge -3, then y = (1/2)(x+3)

I'm using the rule that y = |x| turns into y = -x when x < 0 and y = x when x \ge 0

So that is how we get f(x) = \begin{cases}-\frac{1}{2}(x+3) \text{ if } x < -3\\\frac{1}{2}(x+3) \text{ if } x \ge -3\end{cases}\\as the piecewise function.
