Here's the solution for question 12:

The given equation is y=Ae−kx2y = Ae^{-kx^2}. We are given that the graph of ln⁡y\ln y against x2x^2 is a straight line passing through the points (0.64,0.76)(0.64, 0.76) and (1.69,0.32)(1.69, 0.32).

  1. Transform the equation y=Ae−kx2y = Ae^{-kx^2} into a linear form.

    Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

    ln⁡y=ln⁡(Ae−kx2)\ln y = \ln(Ae^{-kx^2})

    Using logarithm properties ln⁡(ab)=ln⁡a+ln⁡b\ln(ab) = \ln a + \ln b and ln⁡(ep)=p\ln(e^p) = p:

    ln⁡y=ln⁡A+ln⁡(e−kx2)\ln y = \ln A + \ln(e^{-kx^2}) ln⁡y=ln⁡A−kx2\ln y = \ln A - kx^2

    This equation is in the form Y=mX+CY = mX + C, where Y=ln⁡yY = \ln y, X=x2X = x^2, the slope m=−km = -k, and the y-intercept C=ln⁡AC = \ln A.

  2. Calculate the slope (mm) of the line.

    The given points are (X1,Y1)=(0.64,0.76)(X_1, Y_1) = (0.64, 0.76) and (X2,Y2)=(1.69,0.32)(X_2, Y_2) = (1.69, 0.32).

    m=Y2−Y1X2−X1m = \frac{Y_2 - Y_1}{X_2 - X_1} m=0.32−0.761.69−0.64m = \frac{0.32 - 0.76}{1.69 - 0.64} m=−0.441.05m = \frac{-0.44}{1.05} m≈−0.4190476m \approx -0.4190476
  3. Find the value of kk.

    Since m=−km = -k:

    −k=−0.441.05-k = \frac{-0.44}{1.05} k=0.441.05k = \frac{0.44}{1.05} k≈0.4190476k \approx 0.4190476

    Rounding to 2 decimal places, k=0.42k = \boxed{0.42}.

  4. Calculate the y-intercept (CC).

    Using the point-slope form Y−Y1=m(X−X1)Y - Y_1 = m(X - X_1) or C=Y1−mX1C = Y_1 - mX_1.
    Using (X1,Y1)=(0.64,0.76)(X_1, Y_1) = (0.64, 0.76) and m=−0.441.05m = \frac{-0.44}{1.05}:

    C=0.76−(−0.441.05)(0.64)C = 0.76 - \left(\frac{-0.44}{1.05}\right)(0.64) C=0.76+0.44×0.641.05C = 0.76 + \frac{0.44 \times 0.64}{1.05} C=0.76+0.28161.05C = 0.76 + \frac{0.2816}{1.05} C=0.76+0.268190476...C = 0.76 + 0.268190476... C≈1.028190476C \approx 1.028190476
  5. Find the value of AA.

    Since C=ln⁡AC = \ln A:

    A=eCA = e^C A=e1.028190476A = e^{1.028190476} A≈2.79603A \approx 2.79603

    Rounding to 2 decimal places, A=2.80A = \boxed{2.80}.
