a) The given model is . To linearize this equation, take the logarithm on both sides
using properties of logarithm.
Simplifying further,
This is a linear equation for ln(N) in terms of t with slope and intercept .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) Now perform a linear regression for the above equation. x in the formula for regression is time in years and y is ln(N), which we find from the given values of N.
x | 0.5 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.5 |
y | ln 994 | ln 990 | ln 985 | ln 979 | ln 977 |
Then
Using the above data and the given formulas, the slope is , and the intercept is .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c) From a), we know that the intercept . Taking exponential on both sides, we find .
Similarly the slope . Taking inverse on both sides .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d) Substitute for in the model to find , where t is time in years.
The amount of material remaining after 20 years is N(20).
This is .
After 20 years, the amount of material remaining is expected to be 831.846

Radioactive decay can be modeled by the equation A=A0e−kt where A is the amount at time t, A0 is the amount at time t = 0, and k is a constant. Write a MATLAB program that calculates the amount of a radioactive material. When executed, the program asks the user to enter the half-life of the material (in years), the current amount of the material (in lb), and the number of years t from now for which the amount should...

ANSWER ALL PLEASE! Applications of Exponential Equations Many real-life situations can be modeled by an exponential growth function of the form A(t) Ao ett constant that affects the rate of growth or decay, and t represents time.

Using Python 3... Question 4: Carbon dating (3 points) Archaeologists use the exponential, radioactive decay of carbon-14 to estimate the death dates of organic material. The stable form of carbon is carbon-12, and the radioactive isotope carbon-14 decays over time into nitrogen-14 and other particles. Carbon is naturally in all living organisms, and the carbon-14 that forms in the upper atmosphere enters into living things as long as they are taking in material (food, air, etc.) that contains carbon. We...
