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>

UNA POBLACION DE CIERTA CIUDAD EN EL AÑO 2000 ERA DE 250,000 HABITANTES CON UNA TASA DE CRECIMIENTO RELATIVO DEL 2% , DETERMINA
Fofino [41]

Answer:

La población que se espera para el 2012, es 317,060

Step-by-step explanation:

Si la población tiene un crecimiento relativo del 2%, entonces cada año, la población es un 2% más grande que el año anterior.

Definamos P(t) = población después de t años

Entonces, si al año t = 0 (que corresponde con el año 2000) la población es A

P(0) = A

Un año después, en t = 1, la población incrementa en un 2%

P(1) = A + (2%/100%)*A = A + (0.02)*A = A*(1.02)

Otro año después, en t = 2, la población incrementa un 2% de vuelta.

P(2) = A*(1.02) + (2%/100%)*A(1.02) = A*(1.02) + 0.02*A*(1.02)

      = A*(1.02)*(1.02) = A*(1.02)^2

Ya podemos notar un patrón, la población en el año t va a ser:

P(t) = A*(1.02)^t

Sabemos que en t = 0 (el año 2000) la población es 250,000

Entonces A = 250,000

P(t) = 250,000*(1.02)^t

Ahora queremos calcular la población en el año 2012

entonces si t = 0 es el 2000

2012 esta representado con t = 12

Reemplazando eso en la ecuación, obtenemos:

P(12) = 250,000*(1.02)^12 = 317,060.4

Como esto es una población tenemos que redondearlo al próximo número entero, como el primer digito después del punto es 4, redondeamos para abajo.

Entonces la población que se espera para el 2012 es: 317,060
