The no. of ways to select the 3 blue balls and 5 orange balls from the urn is 0.424

No. of Blue balls in the urn = 5

No. of Orange balls in the urn = 7

Total no. of balls in the urn = No. of blue balls + No. of orange balls

= 5 + 7

= 12 balls

No. of blue balls to be selected = 3

No. of orange balls to be selected = 5

No. of balls to be selected = 8

The total. no of ways 8 balls can be selected = 12C₈

The No. of ways 3 blue balls can be selected = 5C₃

The No. of ways 5 orange balls can be selected = 7C₅

Therefore, No. of ways to select 3 blue balls and 5 orange balls from the urn

= 5C₃ x 7C₅ / 12C₈

[ Probability = No. of ways to select blue balls x No. of ways to select orange balls / Total no. of ways to select balls]

P = 10 x 21 / 495

= 210 / 495

P = 0.424

Therefore, the no. of ways to select blue and orange balls is 0.424

A large corporation starts at time t = 0 to invest part of its receipts continuously at a rate of P dollars per year in a fund f

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$A = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is <em>a separable differential equation</em>. Rearranging terms in the equation gives

$\frac{dA}{rA+P} = dt$

Integration on both sides gives

$\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \int dt$

where $c$ is a constant of integration.

The steps for solving the integral on the right hand side are presented below.

$\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \begin{vmatrix} rA+P = m \implies rdA = dm\end{vmatrix} \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \int \frac{1}{m} \frac{1}{r} \, dm \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \int \frac{1}{m} \, dm\\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |m| + c \\\\&\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| +c$

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| = t+c$

Multiply both sides by $r.$

$\ln |rA+P| = rt+c_1, \quad c_1 := rc$

By taking exponents, we obtain

$e^{\ln |rA+P|} = e^{rt+c_1} \implies |rA+P| = e^{rt} \cdot e^{c_1} rA+P = Ce^{rt}, \quad C:= \pm e^{c_1}$

Isolate $A$ .

$rA+P = Ce^{rt} \implies rA = Ce^{rt} - P \implies A = \frac{C}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r}$

Since $A = 0$ when $t=0$ , we obtain an initial condition $A(0) = 0$ .

We can use it to find the numeric value of the constant $c$ .

Substituting $0$ for $A$ and $t$ in the equation gives

$0 = \frac{C}{r}e^{0} - \frac{P}{r} \implies \frac{P}{r} = \frac{C}{r} \implies C=P$

Therefore, the solution of the given differential equation is

$A = \frac{P}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r} = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)$

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$
