MAT-150 Lecture 30: 6.8 Exponential and Decay Models Notes
Document Summary
6. 8 exponential and decay models notes: sterling. Provide a generalization to the terms listed in this section. A0 : original amount of radioactive m aterial t : t ime e 2. 718 k : n egative constant. N0 : initial n umber of cells t : t ime e 2. 718 k : p ositive constant k > 0 : any p ositive constant greater t han 0. A0 : original amount of radioactive m aterial t : t ime e 2. 718 k : n egative constant k < 0 : any n egative constant less t han 0. What is the uninhibited radioactive decay function? u (t) = t + (u0 t ) ekt, k < 0. What are the parts of the function? u : t emperature t : t ime. A0 : initial t emperature e 2. 718 k : n egative constant k < 0 : any n egative constant less t han 0.
