AP CALCULUS AB – TAKE HOME TEST

Show all supporting work. I am looking for appropriate steps and notation. Please only work two problems per side of paper.

3. Suppose the differential equation related to the decay equation for a radioactive element is known to be
dy
= −0.24 y , with t in years. About how long will it take for a sample of this element to decay to 70% of its
dt
original amount?

dy 2 y
4. Solve the initial value problem = where y(−1) = 3 . Also indicate the domain of the solution.
dx x
