Given Solution: `aSTUDENT RESPONSE: (5^3)+(5^4) is not equal to 5^7 INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: (5^3) * (5^4) = (5^7) since (5*5*5) * (5*5*5*5) = 5*5*5*5*5*5*5 = 5^7. However (5^3) + (5^7) = 5*5*5 + 5*5*5*5*5 = 5*5*5( 1 + 5*5) = 5^3( 1 + 5^2), not 5^7.** STUDENT QUESTION: Why do you write it out as 5*5*5(1+5*5) = 5^3(1+5^2) and how did you get that from the original problem? INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: If you factor 5*5*5 out of 5*5*5 + 5*5*5*5*5 you get 5*5*5 ( 1 + 5*5). If you aren't sure of why, multiply that product out: 5*5*5 ( 1 + 5*5) = 5*5*5*1 + 5*5*5 * 5*5 = 5*5*5 + 5*5*5*5*5. The factorization used here can be generalized to prove that a^3 + a^4 is not equal to a^(3 + 4), and more generally that a^b + a^c is cannot be identified with a^(b + c).

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** The original value takes place at t = 0 and is Texcess(0) = 50 * .97^0 = 50. 1/8 of the original value is therefore 1/8 * 50 = 6.25. You have to find t such that 50 * .97^t = 6.25. Dividing both sides by 50 you get .97^t = 6.25 / 50 or .97^t = .125. Use trial and error to find t: Try t = 10: .97^10 = .74 approx. That's too high. Try t = 100: .97^100 = .04 approx. That's too low. So try a number between 10 and 100, probably closer to 100. Try 70: .97^70 = .118. Lucky guess. That's close to .125 but a little low. {Try 65: .97^65 = .138. Too high. Try a number between 65 and 70, closer to 70 but not too much closer. Try 68: .97^68 = .126. That's good to the nearest whole number.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: They are all around 32. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** If the function is 50 (.97^t) then at t = 0, 17, 34, 51, 68 we have function values • temp excesses: 50, 29.79130219, 17.75043372, 10.57617070, 6.301557949 and average rates of change • ave rates: -1.18756929, -0.7082863803, -0.4220154719, -0.2514478090, -0.1498191533. On the corresponding trapezoidal graph of temperature excess vs. clock time we have four trapezoids, and their slopes correspond to the average rates of change. The 'altitudes' of the trapezoids correspond to the temperature excesses. • Each trapezoid has a single slope, but two 'altitudes', corresponding to the fact that each interval has two temperature excesses but only a single average rate. • To calculate the desired ratio for an interval, we need a single value of the temperature excess to compare with the single rate. • Rather than using either of the two temp excesses or 'altitudes', it's more appropriate to use their average. The four trapezoids have 'average altitudes' 39.89565109, 23.77086796, 14.16330221, 8.438864327, each corresponding to the average of the initial and final 'tempearture excesses' on the associated interval. Ratio of temp excess to ave rate, using 'average altitudes' as temp excess, are therefore 39.9 / (-1.19), 23.8 / (-.708), 14.2 / (-.422), 8.44 / (-.251). These quantities vary slightly but all are close to the same value around 33. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: ********************************************* Question: `qWhat are your estimates of the times required to fall to half of the three values?

Given Solution: `a** STUDENT RESPONSE: The temperature falls to 50/2 = 25 at t = 22.75. The temperature falls to 25/2 = 12.5 at t = 45.51 The temperature falls to 12.5/2 = 6.25 at t = 68.26. The time interval required for each subsequent fall is very close to 22.75, demonstrating that the half-life is constant. ** STUDENT QUESTION I don’t understand how to get the t values. INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE You evaluate the function Texcess(t) = 50 (.97 ^ t) at various values of t until you find the result you're looking for. For example the temperature falls to 25/2 = 12.5 at some value of t. You can plug in t = 10 but the result will be greater than 12.5. You could plug in higher values of t until you find a result that's lower than 12.5. Then you can keep trying numbers in between until you find a t value that gets you reasonably close to T = 12.5.

.............................................
Given Solution: `a** Texcess has an original value at t = 0, which gives us Texcess(0) = 50 * .97^0 = 50. Half its original value is therefore 25. So our equation is 25 = 50 * .97^t.

.............................................

.............................................
Given Solution: `a** If the rate of removal is directly proportional the quantity present then we have y = k x where y is the rate of removal and x the amount present. Since y = 40 when x = 200 we have 40 = k * 200 so that k = 40/200 = .2. Thus y = .2 x. If x = 70 then we have y = .2 * 70 = 14. When there are 70 mg present the rate of removal is 14 mg/hr. ** Add comments on any surprises or insights you experienced as a result of this assignment. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
