Constants and variables are widely used in mathematical equations and expressions. They are also commonly found in the domain of programming, where each language has its own way to differentiate between a constant and a variable. Since they have all sort…

Chapter 4, Problem 25PP

Radioactive decay of radioactive materials can be modeled by the equation A = A₀e^{−t(log 2/h)}, where A is the amount of the material at time t, A₀ is the amount at time 0, and h is the half-life.

Technetium-99 is a radioisotope that is used in imaging of the brain. It has a half-life of 6 hours. Your program should display the relative amount A/A₀ in a patient body every hour for 24 hours after receiving a dose.

Summary When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purposes, then you typically repay it by making periodic payments. Suppose that the loan amount is L, r is the interest rate per year, m is the number of payments in a year, and the loan is for t years. Suppose that i = (r / m) and r is in decimal. Then the periodic payment is (first image which R=....): You can also calculate the unpaid loan balance after making certain payments. For example, the unpaid balance after making k payments is (second image which L'=....) : where R is the periodic payment. (Note that if the payments are monthly, then m = 12.) Instructions Write a program that prompts the user to input the values of L, r, m, t, and k. The program then outputs the appropriate values. Your program must contain at least two functions, with appropriate parameters, to calculate the periodic payments and the unpaid balance after certain payments. Make the program menu driven and use a loop so that the…

IN C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE A resistor is a circuit device designed to have a specific resistance value between its ends. Resistance values are expressed in ohms (Ω) or kilo-ohms (kΩ). Resistors are frequently marked with colored bands that encode their resistance values, as shown in the Figure. The first two bands are digits, and the third is a power-of-ten multiplier. The Table below shows the meanings of each band color. For example, if the first band is green, the second is black, and the third is orange, the resistor has a value of 50 × 103 Ω or 50 k Ω. The information in the Table can be stored in a C program as an array of strings. char COLOR_CODES[10][7] = {"black", "brown", "red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "violet", "gray", "white"}; Notice that “red” is COLOR_CODES[2] and has a digit value of 2 and a multiplier value of 102. In general, COLOR_CODES[n] has digit value n and multiplier value 10n. Write a program that prompts for the colors…

A fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…
