The voltage V across a semiconductor in a computer is given by Upper V equals alpha Upper I plus beta Upper I squared, where I is the current (in A). If a 12-V battery is conducted across the semiconductor, find the current if alphaequals5 Upper Omega and betaequals0.5 Upper Omega/A.

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60

Monitors manufactured by tsi electronics have life spans that have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1800 hours and a mean life span of 20,000 hours. if a monitor is selected at random, find the probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 17,659 hours. round your answer to four decimal places.
