(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}}

Given the parent function f(x) = 2^x, which graph shows f(x) + 1?
mixer [17]

Answer: First Option

a) exponential function going through point (0, 2) and ending up on the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached image, the red line represents a function of the form:

f(x) = 2^x

Note that this function cuts to the axis and at the point (0, 1)

Also when x tends to ∞ f(x) tends to ∞ and when f(x) tends to -∞ then f(x) tends to zero.

If we perform the transformation y = f(x) +1 then the graph of y is equal to the graph of f(x) displaced 1 unit up. Then the new cutting point with the axis y will be: (0, 2) as shown in the attached image (blue line)

The transform function is y =2^x +1

Finally the answer is the first option

$49 jeans are 20% off, what is the sale price
madam [21]

Answer:

$39.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price will be 20% of $49 subtracted from $49

That’s

20% /100% x $49

0.2 x $49

$9.8

Sale price = $49 - $9.8

= $39.2

The sale price is $39.2
