When a water-cooled nuclear power plant is in operation, oxygen in the water is transmuted to nitrogen-17. After the reactor is shut down, the radiation from the nitrogen-17 decreases in such a way that the rate of change in the radiation level is directly proportional to the radiation level. Required: a. Write a differential equation that expresses the rate of change in the radiation level in terms of the radiation level.
b. Suppose that when the reactor is first shut down, the radiation level is 3 × 1017 units. After 60 s the level has dropped to 5.6 × 1013 units. Write the particular equation.
c. Sketch the graph of radiation level versus time.
d. It is safe to enter the reactor compartment
when the radiation level has dropped to
7 × 10–3 units. Will it be safe to enter the reactor compartment 5 min after the reactor has been shut down? Justify your answer.

Kayla wants to find the width, ab, of a river. she walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point c. then she walks 25 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her location, point a, and point c are collinear. she marks point e at this location, as shown. (a) can kayla conclude that δ and δ are similar? why or why not? (b) suppose de = 15 ft. what can kayla conclude about the width of the river?
