章节大纲

  • The half-life of an isotope of barium is about 10 years. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. If a nuclear scientist starts with 200 grams of barium, how many grams will remain after 100 years?
    ::同位素的半衰期约为10年左右。一种物质的半衰期是该物质一半衰减所需的时间。 如果核科学家从200克开始,那么100年后还剩下多少克?

    Growth and Decay Factors
    ::增长和衰减因素

    When a real-life quantity increases by a percentage over a period of time, the final amount can be modeled by the equation : A = P ( 1 + r ) t , where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate (or percentage), and t is the time (in years). 1 + r is known as the growth factor .
    ::当一个实际生命量在一段时间内以百分比增长时,最终数量可以方程式模拟:A=P(1+r)t,其中A为最终数量,P为初始数量,r为比例(或百分比),t为时间(年)。 1+r称为增长系数。

    Conversely, a real-life quantity can decrease by a percentage over a period of time. The final amount can be modeled by the equation: A = P ( 1 r ) t , where 1 r is the decay factor .
    ::反之,一个实际生命量可在一段时间内减少一个百分比。最终数量可以通过公式来模拟:A=P(1-r)t,其中1-r是衰变系数。

    Let's solve the following problems.
    ::让我们解决以下的问题。

    1. The population of Coleman, Texas grows at a 2% rate annually. If the population in 2000 was 5981, what was the population is 2010? Round up to the nearest person.
      ::得克萨斯州科尔曼的人口年增长率为2%,如果2000年的人口为5981人,那么2010年的人口是多少?

    First, set up an equation using the growth factor. r = 0.02 , t = 10 , and P = 5981
    ::首先,使用增长系数(r=0.02,t=10)和P=5981来设置方程式

    A = 5981 ( 1 + 0.02 ) 10 = 5981 ( 1.02 ) 10 = 7291   people

    ::A=5981(1+0.02)10=5981(1.02)10=7291人

    1. You deposit $1000 into a savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest. Find the balance after 3 years if the interest rate is compounded a) annually, b) monthly, and c) daily.
      ::您将 1000 美元 存入 储蓄 账户 , 储蓄 账户 支付 2.5% 的 年息 。 如果 年 利率 (a) 、 (b) 月 、 (c) 日 , 请在 3 年后找到余额 。

    For part a, we will use A = 1000 ( 1.025 ) 3 = 1008.18 .
    ::a部分将使用A=1000(1.025)3=1008.18。

    But, to determine the amount if it is compounded in amounts other than yearly, we need to alter the equation. For compound interest, the equation is A = P ( 1 + r n ) n t , where n is the number of times the interest is compounded within a year. For part b, n = 12 .
    ::但是,要确定是否以年度以外的金额加在一起的金额,我们需要改变方程。 对于复合利息, 方程是 A=P(1+rn)n, 其中 n 是利息在一年之内加在一起的倍数。 b, n=12 部分。

    A = 1000 ( 1 + 0.025 12 ) 12 3 = 1000 ( 1.002 ) 36 = 1077.80

    ::A=1000(1+0.02512)12_3=1000(1.002)36=1077.80

    In part c, n = 365 .
    ::部分c, n=365。

    A = 1000 ( 1 + 0.025 365 ) 365 3 = 1000 ( 1.000068 ) 1095 = 1077.88

    ::A=1000(1+0.0253653653653=1000(1.000068)1095=1077.88)

    1. You buy a new car for $35,000. If the value of the car decreases by 12% each year, what will the value of the car be in 5 years?
      ::你买一辆新车要三万五千美元 如果汽车每年减少12% 5年后车的价值会是多少?

    This is a decay function because the value decreases .
    ::这是一个衰变函数,因为值会下降。

    A = 35000 ( 1 0.12 ) 5 = 35000 ( 0.88 ) 5 = 18470.62

    ::A=35000(1-0.12.5)5=35000(0.885=18470.62)

    The car would be worth $18,470.62 after five years.
    ::五年后车价18 470.62美元

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to find the number of  grams of barium that will remain after 100 years if you start with 200 grams and the half-life of this barium isotope is 10 years.
    ::早些时候,有人要求你 找到在100年后会留下的 克数量 如果你从200克开始, 同位素的半衰期是10年。

    This is an example of , so we can once again use the exponential form f ( x ) = a b x h + k . In this case, a = 200, the starting amount; b is 1/2, the rate of decay; x-h = 100/10 = 10, and k = 0.
    ::这是一个示例, 所以我们可以再次使用指数表 f( x) = abx-h+k。 在此情况下, a = 200, 起始数; b 是 1/2, 衰变速度; x-h = 100/ 10 = 10, k = 0 。

    P = 200 1 2 10 = 200 1 1024 = 0.195

    ::P=2001210=20011024=0.195

    Therefore , 0.195 grams of the barium still remain 100 years later.
    ::因此,100年后,的0.195克仍保留在100年之后。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Tommy bought a truck 7 years ago that is now worth $12,348. If the value of his truck decreased 14% each year, how much did he buy it for? Round to the nearest dollar.
    ::Tommy7年前买了一辆卡车,现在价值12 348美元,如果他的卡车价值每年下降14%,他买多少?

    Tommy needs to use the formula A = P ( 1 r ) t and solve for P .
    ::汤米需要使用 A=P(1-r)t 公式并解决 P 。

    12348 = P ( 1 0.14 ) 7 12348 = P ( 0.86 ) 7 Tommy's truck was originally   $ 35 , 490. 12348 ( 0.86 ) 7 = P 35490

    ::托米的卡车最初为35,490.12348(0.866)7 = P35490

    Example 3
    ::例3

    The Wetakayomoola credit card company charges an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 21.99%, compounded monthly. If you have a balance of $2000 on the card, what would the balance be after 4 years (assuming you do not make any payments)? If you pay $200 a month to the card, how long would it take you to pay it off? You may need to make a table to help you with the second question.
    ::Wetakayomoola信用卡公司每月收取21.99%的年百分比(APR),复数每月。如果卡上有2 000美元的余额,四年后余额会是多少(假设你没有支付任何款项)?如果你每月向卡支付200美元,你需要花多久才能付清?你可能需要做一张表格来帮助你解决第二个问题。

    You need to use the formula A = P ( 1 + r n ) n t , where n = 12 because the interest is compounded monthly.
    ::您需要使用公式 A=P(1+rn)n, n=12 因为利息是每月复合的。

    A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.2199 12 ) 12 4 = 2000 ( 1018325 ) 48 = 4781.65

    ::A=2000(1+0.219912)124=2000(1018325)48=4781.65

    To determine how long it will take you to pay off the balance, you need to find how much interest is compounded in one month, subtract $200, and repeat. A table might be helpful. For each month after the first, we will use the equation, B = R ( 1 + 0.2199 12 ) 12 ( 1 12 ) = R ( 1.018325 ) , where B is the current balance and R is the remaining balance from the previous month. For example, in month 2, the balance (including interest) would be B = 1800 ( 1 + 0.2199 12 ) 12 ( 1 12 ) = 1800 1.08325 = 1832.99 .
    ::要确定清结余额需要多长时间, 您需要找到一个月的利息加起来多少, 减去200美元, 重复。 表格可能有用 。 对于第一个月之后的每个月, 我们将使用公式 B=R(1+0. 219912)12( 112) = R (1.0 18325), B 是当前余额, R 是前一个月的余额 。 例如, 在第2个月, 余额( 包括利息) 为 B= 1800(1+0. 219912) 12( 112) = 18001.08325 = 1832.99 。

    Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
    Balance 2000 1832.99 1662.91 1489.72 1313.35 930.09 790.87 640.06 476.69 299.73 108.03

    It is going to take you 11 months to pay off the balance and you are going to pay 108.03 in interest, making your total payment $2108.03.
    ::你们要花11个月的时间来还清余额 你们要付108.03的利息 总共支付2108.03美元

    Example 4
    ::例4

    As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure (the pressure of the air around you) decreases. For every 1000 feet up, the atmospheric pressure decreases about 4%. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.3. If you are on top of Hevenly Mountain at Lake Tahoe (elevation about 10,000 feet) what is the atmospheric pressure?
    ::随着高度升高,大气压力(你周围的空气压力)下降。每上升1000英尺,大气压力下降约4%。海平面的大气压力为101.3。如果你在Tahoe湖的Hevenly山顶(高度约10,000英尺),那么大气压力是什么?

    The equation will be A = 101 , 325 ( 1 0.04 ) 100 = 1709.39 . The decay factor is only raised to the power of 100 because for every 1000 feet the pressure decreased. Therefore, 10 , 000 ÷ 1000 = 100 . Atmospheric pressure is what you don’t feel when you are at a higher altitude and can make you feel light-headed. The picture below demonstrates the atmospheric pressure on a plastic bottle. The bottle was sealed at 14,000 feet elevation (1), and then the resulting pressure at 9,000 feet (2) and 1,000 feet (3). The lower the elevation, the higher the atmospheric pressure, thus the bottle was crushed at 1,000 feet.
    ::方程为 A= 101 325 (1- -0.04100 = 1709.39). 衰变系数仅提高到100, 因为每1000英尺压力降下。 因此, 10 000 1000 = 100 。 大气压力是高海拔时你感受不到的, 可以让你感觉到光头。 下面的图片显示了塑料瓶的大气压力。 瓶子密封在14 000英尺高一级(1) , 然后产生的压力在9 000英尺(2) 和 1 000英尺(3) 。 高度越低, 大气压力越高, 瓶子被压压在1 000英尺 。
