QuestionA sample of 9 grams of radioactive material is placed in a vault. Let P(t)P(t) be the amount remaining after tt years, and let P(t)P(t) satisfy the differential equation P(t)=0.032P(t)P^{\prime}(t)=-0.032 P(t). Answer parts (a)(a) through (g)(g). (Type an expression using t as the variable.) (b) What is P(0)P(0) ? P(0)=9P(0)=9 (c) What is the decay constant? \square

Studdy Solution
(a) P(t)=9e0.032tP(t) = 9 \cdot e^{-0.032 \cdot t} (b) P(0)=9P(0) = 9 grams (c) The decay constant is 0.0320.032.
