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>

If y = -x² + 14x + 7 , then x = 10 is a counterexample for which conjecture?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

If we plug in x=10 to the equation, we get y=47

Since y is positive, A is not an counterexample

Since y is a function of x, C is not an counterexample

Since the graph of y is a parabola, D is not an counterexample

Hope this helped and mark as brainliest!

tim has 30 jellybeans, with equal numbers of three flavors—raspberry, pineapple, and orange. he likes raspberry the best. so far
Sloan [31]
There are 20 jellybeans remaining after the 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans have been eaten.
Therefore 10 of the 20 remaining jellybeans must be raspberry. So there is a 1 in2 chance that the next one picked will be raspberry.
