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

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

x  = 5 - 2y \\ y = 3(5 - 2y) - 8 \\ y = 15 - 6y - 8 \\ y = 7 - 6y \\ 7y = 7 \\ y = 1

x = 5 - 2y \\ x = 5 - 2 = 3 \\

Brad wants to open a new savings account. He finds one that returns 3% on his investment each year.
Damm [24]

Answer:

1.03x

Step-by-step explanation:

1 year b would be the inital investment added with interest

i believe this is the equation

b = x + r(x)= (1 + r)x

and since it says 3% each year we know its 0.03 (r)

and when you solve it out you get that answer
