In accordance with the function velocity, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.

Herein we have a function of the velocity of a car (v), in feet per second, in terms of time (t), in seconds. The car stops for t > 0 and v = 0, then we have the following expression:

0.5 · t² - 10.5 · t + 45 = 0

t² - 21 · t + 90 = 0

By the quadratic formula we get the following two roots: t₁ = 15, t₂ = 6. The stopping time is the least root of the quadratic equation, that is, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.

Answer:

∠ H ≈ 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan H = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{FG}{HG}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ , thus

∠ H = $tan^{-1}$ ( $\frac{5}{12}$ ) ≈ 23° ( to the nearest degree )

The logistic equation for the population (in thousands) of a certain species is given by:

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

b. 1.5

c. 1.5

d. No

Step-by-step explanation:

a. First, let's solve the differential equation:

$\frac{dp}{dt} =3p-2p^2$

Divide both sides by $3p-2p^2$ and multiply both sides by dt:

$\frac{dp}{3p-2p^2}=dt$

Integrate both sides:

$\int\ \frac{1}{3p-2p^2} dp =\int\ dt$

Evaluate the integrals and simplify:

$p(t)=\frac{3e^{3t} }{C_1+2e^{3t}}$

Where C1 is an arbitrary constant

I sketched the direction field using a computer software. You can see it in the picture that I attached you.

b. First let's find the constant C1 for the initial condition given:

$p(0)=3=\frac{3e^{0} }{C_1+2e^{0} } =\frac{3}{C_1+2}$

Solving for C1:

$C_1=-1$

Now, let's evaluate the limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}-1 } \\\\Divide\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}numerator\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}denominator\hspace{3}by\hspace{3}e^{3t} \\\\ \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3 }{2-e^{-3x} }$

The expression $-e^{-3x}$ tends to zero as x approaches ∞ . Hence:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}-1 } =\frac{3}{2} =1.5$

c. As we did before, let's find the constant C1 for the initial condition given:

$p(0)=0.8=\frac{3e^{0} }{C_1+2e^{0} } =\frac{3}{C_1+2}$

Solving for C1:

$C_1=1.75$

Now, let's evaluate the limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}+1.75 } \\\\Divide\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}numerator\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}denominator\hspace{3}by\hspace{3}e^{3t} \\\\ \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3 }{2+1.75e^{-3x} }$

The expression $-e^{-3x}$ tends to zero as x approaches ∞ . Hence:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}+1.75 } =\frac{3}{2} =1.5$

d. To figure out that, we need to do the same procedure as we did before. So, let's find the constant C1 for the initial condition given:

$p(0)=2=\frac{3e^{0} }{C_1+2e^{0} } =\frac{3}{C_1+2}$

Solving for C1:

$C_1=-\frac{1}{2} =-0.5$

Can a population of 2000 ever decline to 800? well, let's find the limit of the function when it approaches to ∞:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}-0.5 } \\\\Divide\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}numerator\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}denominator\hspace{3}by\hspace{3}e^{3t} \\\\ \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3 }{2-0.5e^{-3x} }$

The expression $-e^{-3x}$ tends to zero as x approaches ∞ . Hence:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{3e^{3t} }{2e^{3t}-0.5 } =\frac{3}{2} =1.5$

Therefore, a population of 2000 never will decline to 800.
