(a) Let C(t) denote the amount (in grams) of copper (II) sulfate (CuSO₄) in the tank at time t minutes. The tank contains only pure water at the start, so we have initial value \boxed{C(0)=0}.

CuSO₄ flows into the tank at a rate

\left(20\dfrac{\rm g}{\rm L}\right) \left(4\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right) = 80 \dfrac{\rm g}{\rm min}

and flows out at a rate

\left(\dfrac{C(t)\,\rm g}{400\,\mathrm L + \left(4\frac{\rm L}{\rm min} - 4\frac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right) t}\right) \left(4\dfrac{\rm L}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac{C(t)}{100} \dfrac{\rm g}{\rm min}

and hence the net rate of change in the amount of CuSO₄ in the tank is governed by the differential equation

\boxed{\dfrac{dC}{dt} = 80 - \dfrac C{100}}

(b) This ODE is linear with constant coefficients and separable, so we have a few choices in how we can solve it. I'll use the typical integrating factor method for solving linear ODEs.

\dfrac{dC}{dt} + \dfrac C{100} = 80

The integrating factor is

\mu = \exp\left(\displaystyle \int \frac{dt}{100}\right) = e^{t/100}

Distributing \mu on both sides gives

e^{t/100} \dfrac{dC}{dt} + \dfrac1{100} e^{t/100} C = 80 e^{t/100}

and the left side is now the derivative of a product,

\dfrac d{dt} \left[e^{t/100} C\right] = 80 e^{t/100}

Integrate both sides. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

e^{t/100} C = e^{t/100}C\bigg|_{t=0} + \displaystyle \int_0^t 80 e^{u/100}\, du

The first term on the right vanishes since C(0)=0. Then

e^{t/100} C = 8000 \left(e^{t/100} - 1\right)

\implies \boxed{C(t) = 8000 - 8000 e^{-t/100}}

Please help me with this question!
gavmur [86]
First off, let's convert the percentages to decimal format, so our 77% turns to 77/100 or 0.77, and our 55% turns to 55/100 or 0.55 and so on

now, the sum of both salines, must add up to the 77% mixture, let's say is "y"
so, 11 + 4 = y, and whatever the concentration level is, must also sum up to the mixture's concentration of 77%

anyway   thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{first sol'n}&11&x&11x\\
\textit{second sol'n}&4&0.55&2.20\\
------&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&y&0.77&0.77y
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
11+4=y\implies 15=\boxed{y}\\
11x+2.2=0.77y\\
----------\\
11x+2.2=0.77\cdot \boxed{15}
\end{cases}

solve for "x"

The instructions on the bag on concrete mix say to add 2 gallons of water to each 8 pounds bag of conceit mix
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

2 gallons of water = 8 pound bag

Number of pound bag per gallon of water ;

Let the number of pound = x

Using cross multiplication, we'll have :

2 gallons = 8 pounds

1 gallon = x pounds

Cross multiply

2x = 8

x = 8 /2

x = 4

Hence, 1 gallon of water mixes 4 pound bag of concrete.
