Eben, an alien from the planet Tellurango, kicks a football from field level. The equation for the football’s height in meters,
Luden [163]

<span>The maxima of a differential equation can be obtained by getting the 1st derivate dx/dy and equating it to 0.</span>

<span>Given the equation h = - 2 t^2 + 12 t       , taking the 1st derivative result in:</span>

dh = - 4 t dt + 12 dt

<span>dh / dt = 0 = - 4 t + 12   calculating for t:</span>

t = -12 / - 4

t = 3 s

Therefore the maximum height obtained is calculated by plugging in the value of t in the given equation.

h = -2 (3)^2 + 12 (3)

h = 18 m

This problem can also be solved graphically by plotting t (x-axis) against h (y-axis). Then assigning values to t and calculate for h and plot it in the graph to see the point in which the peak is obtained. Therefore the answer to this is:

<span>The ball reaches a maximum height of 18 meters. The maximum of h(t) can be found both graphically or algebraically, and lies at (3,18). The x-coordinate, 3, is the time in seconds it takes the ball to reach maximum height, and the y-coordinate, 18, is the max height in meters.</span>

Initially 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was present. After 6 hours the mass had decreased by 3%. If the rate of deca
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The half-life of the radioactive substance is 135.9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of decay is proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t

This means that the amount of the substance can be modeled by the following differential equation:

\frac{dQ}{dt} = -rt

Which has the following solution:

Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}

In which Q(t) is the amount after t hours, Q(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

After 6 hours the mass had decreased by 3%.

This means that Q(6) = (1-0.03)Q(0) = 0.97Q(0). We use this to find r.

Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}

0.97Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-6r}

e^{-6r} = 0.97

\ln{e^{-6r}} = \ln{0.97}

-6r = \ln{0.97}

r = -\frac{\ln{0.97}}{6}

r = 0.0051

So

Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}

Determine the half-life of the radioactive substance.

This is t for which Q(t) = 0.5Q(0). So

Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}

0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-0.0051t}

e^{-0.0051t} = 0.5

\ln{e^{-0.0051t}} = \ln{0.5}

-0.0051t = \ln{0.5}

t = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{0.0051}

t = 135.9

The half-life of the radioactive substance is 135.9 hours.

Joe has eaten 3/5 of a pizza, Jane has eaten 1/7 of a pizza.
Mrrafil [7]

3/5÷1/7 use the recipical

3/5 ÷ 7/1= 21/5

21÷5=4 1/5 I think is your first answer but I could be wrong

7/8  6/7

you must find common denominator.

49/56 -   48/56= 1/56 again I could be wrong
