Cesium 137 (Cs137) is a short-lived radioactive isotope.It decays at a rate proportional to the amount of itself present and has a half-life of 30 years (i.e., the amount of Cs137 remaining t years after A0 mg of the radioactive isotope is released is given by ) .As a result of its operations, a nuclear power plant releases Cs137 at a rate of 0.12 mg per year.The plant began its operations in 1990, which we will designate as t = 0.Assume there is no other source of this particular isotope.Which of the following differential equations have a solution R(t) , the amount (in mg) of Cs137 in t years? (We are assuming R(0) = 0.)
A)
B)
C)
