days, that the decay constants are k1=0.138629 and

QUESTION:

In Problem 1 suppose that time is measured in days, that the decay constants are \(k_{1}=-0.138629\) and \(k_{2}=-0.004951\), and that \(x_{0}=20\). Use a graphing utility to obtain the graphs of the solutions x(t), y(t), and z(t) on the same set of coordinate axes. Use the graphs to approximate the half-lives of substances X and Y.

k_1 = 0.138629

k_2 = 0.004951

x_0 = 20
