A scientist has 100 milligrams of a radioactive element. The amount of radioactive element remaining after t days can be determi

ned using the equation f(t)=100(1/2)^t/10. After three days, the scientist receives a second shipment of 100 milligrams of the same element. The equation used to represent the amount of shipment 2 remaining after t days is f(t)=100(1/2)^t-3/10. After any time, t, the mass of the element remaining in shipment 1 is what percentage of the mass of the element remaining in shipment 2?
A.78.1%
B.81.2%
C.123.1%
D.128.0%

The mass of the first shipment at time t is
m_{1}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{10}}

The mass of the second shipment at time t is
m_{2}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t-3}{10} }

At time t, the ratio of m₁ to m₂ is
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{100}{100}. \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{(t-3)/10}} \\ =  \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{t/10}}. \frac{1}{(1/2)^{-3/10}} \\ = (1/2)^{3/10} \\ = 0.8123

Therefore as a percentage,
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} =100*0.8123 = 81.23 \%

Answer: B. 81.2%

Find gradient <br><br>xe^y + 4 ln y = x² at (1, 1)​
cricket20 [7]

xe^y+4\ln y=x^2

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>x</em>, assuming <em>y</em> = <em>y</em>(<em>x</em>).

\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y+4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}

\dfrac{\mathrm d(xe^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\mathrm d(4\ln y)}{\mathrm dx}=2x

\dfrac{\mathrm d(x)}{\mathrm dx}e^y+x\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^y)}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

e^y+xe^y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac4y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

Solve for d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> :

e^y+\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x

\left(xe^y+\dfrac4y\right)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=2x-e^y

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x-e^y}{xe^y+\frac4y}

If <em>y</em> ≠ 0, we can write

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2xy-ye^y}{xye^y+4}

At the point (1, 1), the derivative is

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=1,y=1}=\boxed{\dfrac{2-e}{e+4}}
