Maria, a biologist is observing the growth pattern of a virus. She starts with 100 of the virus that grows at a rate of 10% per hour. She will check on the virus in 24 hours. How many viruses will she find?
Drug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) What is the maximum blood-level concentration, and when does that level occur?
Radioactive Decay The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time H that it takes for half of the substance to change form through radioactive decay. This number does not depend on the amount with which you start. For example, carbon-14 is known to have a half-life of H=5770 years. Thus, if you begin with 1 gram of carbon-14, then 5770 years later you will have 12 gram of carbon-14. And if you begin with 30 grams of carbon-14, then after 5770 years there will be 15 grams left. In general, radioactive substances decay according to the formula A=A00.5tH Where H is the half-life, t is the elapsed time, A0 is the amount you start with the amount when t=0, and A is the amount left at time t. a. Uranium-228 has a half-life H of 9.3 minutes. Thus, the decay function for this isotope of uranium is A=A00.5t9.3, where t is measured in minutes. Suppose we start with grams of uranium-228. i. How much uranium-228 is left after 2 minutes? ii.How long will you have to wait until there are only 3 grams left? b. Uranium-235 is the isotope of uranium that can be used to make nuclear bombs. It has a half-life of 713 million years. Suppose we start with 5 grams of uranium-235. i. How much uranium-235 is left after 200 million years? ii. How long will you have to wait until there are only 3 grams left?

Air Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km.

The Skydiver Again When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, her downward velocity, n feet per second, before she opens her parachute is given by = 176 1 0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since she jumped from the airplane. We found earlier that the terminal velocity for the skydiver is 176 feet per second. How long does it take for her to reach 90 of terminal velocity?
