The function N(t) = 100e^−0.023t models the number of grams in a sample of cesium-137 that remain after t years. On which interval is the sample's average rate of decay the fastest?

Answers

Answer 1

Options:

A. [1,10]        B. [10,20]      C. [15,25]     D. [1,30]

Answer:

A. [1,10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]N(t) = 100e^{-0.023t}[/tex]

Required

Interval with the fastest rate of decay

The rate of change over [a,b] is calculated as:

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(b) - N(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

So, we have:

A. [1,10]        

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(10)-N(1)}{10 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(10)-N(1)}{9}[/tex]

Calculate N(10) and N(1)

[tex]N(10) = 100e^{-0.023*10} = 100e^{-0.23} = 79.45[/tex]

[tex]N(1) = 100e^{-0.023*1} = 100e^{-0.023} = 97.73[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{79.45-97.73}{9} = \frac{-18.28}{9} = -2.03[/tex]

B. [10,20]      

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(20)-N(10)}{20 - 10}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(20)-N(10)}{10}[/tex]

Calculate N(20) and N(10)

[tex]N(20) = 100e^{-0.023*20} = 100e^{-0.46} = 63.13[/tex]

[tex]N(10) = 100e^{-0.023*10} = 100e^{-0.23} = 79.45[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{63.13 - 79.45}{10} = \frac{-16.32}{10} = -1.632[/tex]

C. [15,25]    

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(25)-N(15)}{25 - 15}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(25)-N(15)}{20}[/tex]

Calculate N(25) and N(15)

[tex]N(25) = 100e^{-0.023*25} = 100e^{-0.575} = 56.27[/tex]

[tex]N(15) = 100e^{-0.023*15} = 100e^{-0.345} = 70.82[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{56.27 - 70.82}{10} = \frac{-14.55}{10} = -1.455[/tex]

D. [1,30]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(30)-N(1)}{30 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \frac{N(30)-N(1)}{29}[/tex]

Calculate N(30) and N(1)

[tex]N(30) = 100e^{-0.023*30} = 100e^{-0.69} = 50.16[/tex]

[tex]N(1) = 100e^{-0.023*1} = 100e^{-0.023} = 97.73[/tex]

So:

[tex]Rate = \frac{50.16 - 97.73}{29} = \frac{-47.57}{29} = -1.64[/tex]

By comparing the values of the calculated rates,

-2.03 is the smallest, in other words; the fastest rate

Hence, the interval [1,10] has the fastest rate of decay

Answer 2

The required average rate of change is the fastest on [tex][1,10][/tex].

The average rate of change :

The formula for the average rate of change on the interval [tex][a,b][/tex]  is,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{b-a}[/tex]

Now, applying the given function into the above function is,

Now, [tex]a=1,b=10[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{10-1} =-2.03[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=10,b=20[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{20-10} =-1.6325[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=15,b=25[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{25-15} =-1.455[/tex]

Now, [tex]a=1,b=30[/tex] then,

[tex]\frac{100e^{-0.023b}-100e^{-0.023b}}{30-1} =-1.64[/tex]

So the average rate of change is fastest on [tex][1,10][/tex]

if (1x2y6z) is a number divisible by 9 , then what os the least value of x+ y+z ?

Answers

Given:  

Number 1X2Y6Z is divisible by 9.

To find:  

The least value of  X+Y+Z = ?

Solution:  

First of all, let us learn the divisibility rule of 9.  

A given number will be divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of digits of the given number is also divisible by 9.

For example:

Let us consider a number 923463.  

The sum of digits = 9 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 27  

27 is divisible by 9 so the number 923463 will also be divisible by 9.

Let us consider another example 8972.  

Sum of digits = 26  

26 is not divisible by 9 so the number 8972 will also be not divisible by 9.

Now, we are given the number 1X2Y6Z.  

Sum of digits = 1 + X + 2 + Y + 6 + Z = 9 + X+Y+Z

The number 1X2Y6Z will be divisible by if 9+X+Y+Z is divisible by 9.  

The least value of X+Y+Z can be zero, so the sum of digits = 9 + 0 = 9  

which will make the number 1X2Y6Z divisible by 9.

So, the answer is:

Least value of X+Y+Z = 0 so that the number 1X2Y6Z is divisible by 9.

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number to be divisible by 9, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 9. The given digits total 9, so x+y+z must be a multiple of 9. The least possible multiple of 9 is 0.

The least value of x+y+z is 0.

                          b) 6x + 6y = 36

a) 6x + 10y = 52

What is Unitary Method?

The unitary technique involves first determining the value of a single unit, followed by the value of the necessary number of units.

For example, Let's say Ram spends 36 Rs. for a dozen (12) bananas.

12 bananas will set you back 36 Rs. 1 banana costs 36 x 12 = 3 Rupees.

As a result, one banana costs three rupees. Let's say we need to calculate the price of 15 bananas. This may be done as follows: 15 bananas cost 3 rupees each; 15 units cost 45 rupees.

Given:

Marie charges a $10.75 base fee for each dog she walks,

and, additional $7.10 per hour that she walks the dog.

Each day she spends $5.50 on dog treats.

So, if Marie works for 4 1/2 hour then she can earn

= 10.75 + 4 1/2 x 7.1 - 5.5

= 10.75 + 4.5 x 7.1 - 5.5

= $37.2.

Hence, Marie would earn $37.2.
