Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 29RE

Radioactive decay A breeder reactor converts stable uranium-238 into the isotope plutonium-239. The decay of this isotope is given by

A ( t ) = A 0 e − 0.00002876 t where A(t) is the amount of isotope at time t, in years, and A 0 is the original amount. This isotope has a half- life of 24,101 years (that is, half of it will decay away in 24,101 years).

(a) At what rate is A(t) decaying at t = 24,101 years?

(b) At what rate is A(t) decaying after 1 year?

7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph. We prove that for every x, y, z Є V, there is a cycle in G on which x, y, and z all lie. (a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁. (b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that: ⚫each Qi starts at z; • each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are distinct; the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex 2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo, W1, and w₂). (c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)
