When a water-cooled nuclear power plant is in operation, oxygen in the water is transmuted to nitrogen-17. 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.
Required:
Write a differential equation that expresses the rate of change in the radiation level in terms of the radiation level.

Answer:

The differential equation is \frac{dR}{dt} = -kR

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:

\frac{dR}{dt}

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:

\frac{dR}{dt} = -kR

Factor the binomial using its GCF: 10x-15x^4
Igoryamba

Answer:

5x(2 - 3x³)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-15x^4

The GCF( Greatest Common Factor) of 10x-15x^4 is 5x

Solve:

10x/5x = 2

-15^4/5x = -3x³

Final answer is

5x(2 - 3x³)

                         <u>Check</u>

5x(2 - 3x³)

distribute

5x(2) + 5x(-3x³)

10x - 15x^4

Jennifer has carpet in her square bedroom. She decides to also purchase carpet for her living room which is rectangular in shape
shtirl [24]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let's highlight the dimensions of the bedroom and living room using the information given in the question:

==>Squared Bedroom dimensions:

Side length = w = x ft

Area = x*x = x²

==>Rectangular living room dimensions:

width = side length of the squared bedroom = x

length = (x + 9) ft

Area = L*W = x*(x+9) = x² + 9x

Now let's match each given expression with what they represent:

==>"the monomial, x, a factor of the expression x² + 9x" represents "the width of the carpet in the living room"

As we have shown in the dimensions of the squared bedroom above.

==>"the binomial, (x + 9), a factor of the expression x² + 9x" represents "the length of the carpet in the living room" as shown above in the dimensions for living room

==>"the second-degree term of the expression x² + 9x" represents "the area of the carpet in the bedroom"

i.e. the 2nd-degree term in the expression is x², which represents the area of the carpet of the given bedroom.

==>"the first-degree term of the expression x2 + 9x" represents "the increase in the area of carpet needed for the living room".

i.e. 1st-degree term in the expression is 9x. And it represents the increase in the area of the carpet for the living room. Area of bedroom is x². Area of carpet needed for living room increased by 9x. Thus, area of carpet needed for living room = x² + 9x

General term for -13, -11, -9, -7
timurjin [86]

The general term for the arithmetic sequence; -13, -11, -9, -7 is Tn = -15 - 2n.

<h3>Arithmetic progression</h3>

-13, -11, -9, -7

  • First term, a = -13
  • Second term = -11

Common difference, d = Second term - first term

= -11 - (-13)

= -11 + 13

= 2

Therefore,

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where,

  • n = number of terms

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

= -13 + (n - 1)2

= -13 - 2n - 2

Tn = -15 - 2n

So therefore, the general term for the arithmetic sequence; -13, -11, -9, -7 is Tn = -15 - 2n.

Consider the following hypothesis test: H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0 Ha: μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0 There are two independent samples taken from the two pop
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is z = 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Before finding the test statistic, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Sample 1:

\mu_1 = 110, s_1 = \frac{7.2}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.8

Sample 2:

\mu_2 = 108, s_2 = \frac{6.3}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.7875

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

Distribution of the difference:

X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 110 - 108 = 2

s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.8^2+0.7875^2} = 1.1226

What is the value of the test statistic?

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{2 - 0}{1.1226}

z = 1.78

The value of the test statistic is z = 1.78
