The differential equation is
Step-by-step explanation:
Differential equation for the rate of change in radiation level:
Radiation level is R.
Rate of change indicates that the radiation level R varies in function of time t, which mathematically means that we have:
After the reactor is shut down, the radiation from the nitrogen-17 decreases in such a way that the rate of change in the radiation level is directly proportional to the radiation level.
Rate of change is k. Decreases means that k is negative. Proportional to the radiation level of R means that -k multiplies R. So the differential equation is:
