It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 100 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t=time,inyearssinceapplication D=DDTremaining,inkilograms 0 100.00 1 95.00 2 90.25 3 85.74 a.

Moores Law The speed of a computer chip is closely related to the number of transistors on the chip, and the number of transistors on a chip has increased with time in a remarkably consistent way. In fact, in the year 1965, Dr. Gordon E. Moore now chairman emeritus of Intel Corporation observed a trend and predicted that it would continue for a time. His observation, now known as Moores law, is that every two years or so a chip is introduced with double the number of transistors of its fastest predecessor. This law can be restated in the following way: If time increases by 1year, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15.More generally, the rule is that if time increases by tyears, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15t.For example, after 8years, the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.158, or about 16. The 6th generation Core processor was released by Intel Corporation in the year 2015. a.If a chip were introduced in the year 2022, how many times the transistors of the 6th generation Core would you expect it to have? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b.The limit of conventional computing will be reached when the size of a transistors on a chip will be 200 times that of the 6th generation Core. When, according to Moores law, will that limit be reached? c.Even for unconventional computing, the law of physics impose a limit on the speed of computation. The fastest speed possible corresponds to having about 1040 times the number of transistors as on the 6th generation Core. Assume that Moores law will continue to be valid even for unconventional computing, and determine when this limit will be reached. Round your answer to the nearest century.arrow_forward

Marriage Length In this exercise, we consider data from the Statistical Abstract of the United States on the fraction of women married for the first time in 1960 whose marriage reached a given anniversary number. The data show that the fraction of women who reached their fifth anniversary was 0.928. After that, for each one-year anniversary number, the fraction reaching that number drops by about 2. These data describe constant percentage change, so it is reasonable to model the fraction M as an exponential function of the number n of anniversaries since fifth. a.What is the yearly decay factor for the exponential model? b.Find an exponential model for M as a function of n. c.According to your model, what fraction of women married for the first time in 1960 celebrated their 40th anniversary? Take n=35. Round your answer to three decimal places. The actual fraction is 0.449 or 44.9.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
