**SOLVE THIS USING MATHLAB** NOTE: Set the radioactive decay constant 'k' equal to 0.000100128 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 2. One of the applications of Differential Equations is Growth and Decay. Radioactive decay is an exponential process. If xo is the initial quantity of a radioactive substance at time t= 0, then the amount of that substance that will be present at any time t in the future is given by x(t) = Where 'k' is the radioactive decay constant.
