Question 6: (1 point)
The half-life of a certain chemical substance on the planet Calculus is 55 days. If a sample has an initial mass of 500500 mg, we want to determine the mass remaining after 1010 days.
a) The differential equation satisfied by the mass PP will depend on the relative growth (or decay) rate KK. This differential equation is
dPdt=dPdt=__________
b) If P(0)=CP(0)=C, determine KK and write down the general solution of the differential equation.
P(t)=P(t)=__________
c) If P(0)=500P(0)=500, the mass remaining after 1010 days is
P(10)=P(10)=____________
Write your answer with an accuracy of two decimals.
