Radioactive Waste Radioactive waste is entering the atmosphere over an area at a decreasing rate. Use the improper integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} P e^{-k} d t$$ with $P=50$ to find the total amount of the waste that will enter the atmosphere for each value of $k .$ $$k=0.04$$
Present Value When harvesting a population, such as fish, the present value of the resource is given by $$P=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-r t} n(t) y(t) d t$$ where $r$ is a discount factor, $n(t)$ is the net revenue at time $t$ and $y(t)$ is the harvesting effort. Suppose $y(t)=K$ and $n(t)=$ $a t+b .$ Find the present value. Source: Some Mathematical Questions in Biology. Radioactive Waste Radioactive Waste ing the atmosphere at time $t$ is decreasing and is given by $P e^{-k t}$ where $P$ is the initial rate. Use the improper integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} P e^{-k t} d t$$ with $P=50$ to find the total amount of the waste that will enter the atmosphere for each value of $k .$
