(5 marks) To assist in identifying a tumor a patient is injected with 400 μg of a radioactive dye. Over time the body metabolizes and breaks the dye down. After one hour there is only 100 μg of the dye remaining. Assuming that the amount of the radioactive dye which is metabolized is proportional to the amount still active in the body, set up and solve an initial value problem that models the amount of dye after t hours.

The table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.
Suppose that the initial mass of radioactive substance is m0 and the half-life of the substance is h. Let m(t) be the mass remaining at time t. a What is meant by the half-life h? b Write a formula for m(t) in terms of the half-life h. c Write a formula for the relative decay rate r in terms of the half-life h. d Write a formula for m(t) in terms of the relative decay rate r.
Find the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.
Grazing Rabbits and Sheep This is a continuation of Exercise 21. In addition to the kangaroos, the major grazing mammals of Australia include merino sheep and rabbits. For sheep, the functional response is S=2.82.8e0.01V, and for rabbits, it is H=0.20.2e0.008V, Here S and H are the daily intake measured in pounds, and v is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. a. Find the satiation level for sheep and that for rabbits. b. One concern in the management of rangelands is whether the various species of grazing animals are forced to complete for food. It is thought that competition will not be a problem if the vegetation biomass level provides at least 90 of the satiation level for each species. What biomass level guarantees that competition between sheep and rabbits will not be problem?
