Kryptonite is a material found on the planet Krypton and has various effects, most importantly on Superman. The most common type

s are green kryptonite and red kryptonite, but it comes in a variety of colors. All varieties of kryptonite satisfy the modified separable kryptonite decay equation
dy/dt = y(1/t- k) for t > 0

where y is the amount of kryptonite present t hours after we begin to measure the decay of the kryptonite. After one hour, 15 grams of red kryptonite are present, but amazingly enough, after three hours, 30 grams of red kryptonite are present. Strange stuff, indeed! What is the maximum amount of red kryptonite present, and after how much time will this occur?

Answer:

The maximum amount of red kryptonite present is 33.27 g after 4.93 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = y(1/t - k)

separating the variables, we have

dy/y = (1/t - k)dt

dy/y = dt/t - kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dy/y = ∫dt/t - ∫kdt

㏑y = ㏑t - kt + C

㏑y - ㏑t = -kt + C

㏑(y/t) = -kt + C

taking exponents of both sides, we have

\frac{y}{t} = e^{-kt + C}  \\\frac{y}{t} = e^{-kt}e^{C} \\\frac{y}{t} = Ae^{-kt}   (A = e^{C})\\y = Ate^{-kt}

when t = 1 hour, y = 15 grams. So,

y = Ate^{-kt}\\15 = A(1)e^{-kX1}\\15 = Ae^{-k}(1)

when t = 3 hours, y = 30 grams. So,

y = Ate^{-kt}\\30 = A(3)e^{-kX3}\\30 = 3Ae^{-3k} (2)

dividing (2) by (1), we have

\frac{30}{15}  = \frac{3Ae^{-3k}}{Ae^{-k}} \\2 = 3e^{-2k}\\\frac{2}{3} = e^{-2k}

taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

-2k = ㏑(2/3)

-2k = -0.4055

k = -0.4055/-2

k = 0.203

From (1)

A = 15e^{k} \\A = 15e^{0.203} \\A = 15 X 1.225\\A = 18.36

Substituting A and k into y, we have

y = 18.36te^{-0.203t}

The maximum value of y is obtained when dy/dt = 0

dy/dt = y(1/t - k) = 0

y(1/t - k) = 0

Since y ≠ 0, (1/t - k) = 0.

So, 1/t = k

t = 1/k

So, the maximum value of y is obtained when t = 1/k = 1/0.203 = 4.93 hours

y = 18.36(1/0.203)e^{-0.203t}\\y = \frac{18.36}{0.203}e^{-0.203X1/0.203}\\y = 90.44e^{-1}\\y = 90.44 X 0.3679\\y = 33.27 g

<u>So the maximum amount of red kryptonite present is 33.27 g after 4.93 hours.</u>

Rewrite in simplest radical form
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

sqrt(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/ ( x^(-3/6))

We can simplify the fraction

1/ ( x^(-1/2))

A negative exponent means that since it is in the denominator, it goes to the numerator.  It still keeps the exponent.

x^ (1/2)

sqrt(x)

8th grade math help please zoom in on the question for a better look (will give brainliest and thanks if it's right)
eduard
The two pairs are Pythagorean triples because if you plug the two legs of a right triangle into the Pythagorean theorem(A^2+B^2=C^2), then you will find the measurement for the third side(hypotenuse). i.e. 15^2+12^2=9^2(it's the Pythagorean triple 3,4,5 multiplied by 3). This works with any triple, as long as your using the legs of the triangle and as long as the triangle is a right triangle.

Describe the steps you can use to find an average of fractional amounts.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Add up the fractional amounts and divide them by however many amounts there are..........

eg.

Step 1:Add the fractions
1/6 + 5/8 +3/4 
(find the LCD)
1/6 + 5/8 + 3/4 = 4/24 + 15/24 + 18/24 = 37/24

Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the set
37/24 ÷ 3= 37/24 ÷ 3/1= 37/24 X 1/3= 37/72

<span>So the mean (average) is 37/72</span>

Which is the side length of a cube with a volume of 1331 m3?
suter [353]
Let's remember the equation for the volume of a cube:
V= x^3 where x is the length of one side
Since a cube has equal length for length, width, and height.

Now, use what you're given
V= 1331

And put that in terms of x
x^3 = 1331

Now solve for x!
x= cube root (1331)

Think about it! cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331 * cube root of 1331... will equal 1331 m^3!

Hope this helps
