- Flood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forwardNuclear Energy Nuclear energy derived from radioactive isotopes can be used to supply power to supply power to space vehicles. The output of the radioactive power supply for a certain satellite is given by the function y=40e0.004t, where y is in watts and t time in days. How much power will be available at the end of 180 days? How much will take for the amount of power to be half of its original strength? Will the power ever be completely gone? Explain.arrow_forward
