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>

The top of a 2.7m ladder, leaning against a wall, reaches a height of 1.6m. What angle, to the nearest degree, does the ladder m
VladimirAG [237]
So the hypotenuse is 2.7, and the opposite is 1.6.

We can use sine to find the angle.

sin(x) = (1.6)/(2.7)

Simplify:

sin(x) = 0.592592593

Plug this in your calculator to find the inverse of sine:

x = 36.34120312

So the angle is 36 degrees.

The composite function combines the palm tree and the seed functions

The composite function is t(d) = 60d + 20

<h3>How to determine the composite functions</h3>

The functions are given as:

Number of palm trees: t(s) = 3s + 20

Number of seeds: s(d) = 20d

The composite function that represents the number of palm trees Carlos can expect to grow over a certain number of days is represented as:

t(s(d))

This is calculated as:

t(s(d)) = 3s(d) + 20

Substitute s(d) = 20d

t(s(d)) = 3 * 20d + 20

Evaluate the product

t(s(d)) = 60d + 20

Rewrite as:

t(d) = 60d + 20

Hence, the composite function is t(d) = 60d + 20

Kim wants to know how many families in her small neighborhood of 70 homes would participate in a neighborhood sports event. She
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

As her survey was non bias and completely random and she found that 15% of the families would participate in the event. She claims that 15% of the neighborhood families would be expected to participate in the sports event. So, yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.
