Answer:Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

Explanation:

IsT Order  Rate of reaction is given as

In At/ Ao = -Kt

where [A]t is the final concentration at time  t  and  [A]o  is the inital concentration at time 0, and  k  is the first-order rate constant.

Initial concentration = 80 mg/L

Final concentration = 50 mg/L

Velocity = 40 m/hr

Distance= 5000 m

Time taken = Distance / Time

              5000m / 40m/hr = 125 hr

In At/ Ao = -Kt

In 50/80 = -Kt

-0.47 = -kt

- K= -0.47 / 125

k = 0.00376

Decay rate constant,k  = 0.00376/hr

Unit for trigonometric functions is always "radian". 1. 10 points: Do NOT submit your MATLAB code for this problem (a) Given f(x
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Below is the required code.

Explanation:

%% Newton Raphson Method

clear all;

clc;

x0=input('Initial guess:\n');

x=x0;

f=exp(-x)-sin(x)-0.2;

g=-exp(-x)-cos(x);

ep=10;

i=0;

cc=input('Condition of convergence:\n');

while ep>=cc

i=i+1;

temp=x;

x=x-(f/g);

f=exp(-x)-sin(x)-0.2;

g=-exp(-x)-cos(x);

ep=abs(x-temp);

fprintf('x = %6f and error = %6f at iteration = %2f \n',x,ep,i);

end

fprintf('The solution x = %6f \n',x);

Guess x=4.7:

Initial guess:

4.7

Condition of convergence:

0.01

x = -1.916100 and error = 1.051861 at iteration = 240.000000

x = -0.748896 and error = 1.167204 at iteration = 241.000000

x = 0.162730 and error = 0.911626 at iteration = 242.000000

x = 0.428332 and error = 0.265602 at iteration = 243.000000

x = 0.451545 and error = 0.023212 at iteration = 244.000000

x = 0.451732 and error = 0.000187 at iteration = 245.000000

The solution x = 0.451732

>>

Explanation:

The two solutions are x =0.451732 and 3.305651 within the range 0 < x< 5.

The initial guess x = 1.75 fails to determine the solution as it's not in the range. So the solution turns to unstable with initial guess x = 1.75.
