Answer:

Suppose a population of rodents satisfies the differential equation dP 2 kP dt = . Initially there are P (0 2 ) = rodents, and their number is increasing at the rate of 1 dP dt = rodent per month when there are P = 10 rodents.  

How long will it take for this population to grow to a hundred rodents? To a thousand rodents?

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the initial condition when dp/dt = 1, p = 10 to get k;

\frac{dp}{dt} =kp^2\\\\1=k(10)^2\\\\k=\frac{1}{100}

Seperate the differential equation and solve for the constant C.

\frac{dp}{p^2}=kdt\\\\-\frac{1}{p}=kt+C\\\\\frac{1}{p}=-kt+C\\\\p=-\frac{1}{kt+C} \\\\2=-\frac{1}{0+C}\\\\-\frac{1}{2}=C\\\\p(t)=-\frac{1}{\frac{t}{100}-\frac{1}{2}  }\\\\p(t)=-\frac{1}{\frac{2t-100}{200} }\\\\-\frac{200}{2t-100}

You have 100 rodents when:

100=-\frac{200}{2t-100} \\\\2t-100=-\frac{200}{100} \\\\2t=98\\\\t=49\ months

You have 1000 rodents when:

1000=-\frac{200}{2t-100} \\\\2t-100=-\frac{200}{1000} \\\\2t=99.8\\\\t=49.9\ months

A sweater that normally costs $32.00 is on sale for $24.00. What is the percent
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is given by :

\%=\dfrac{\text{original value-new value}}{\text{origial value}}\times 100

Original cost of sweater is $32 and sale cost is $24. So,

\%=\dfrac{32-24}{32}\times 100\\\\=25\%

Hence, 25 % is the markdown on the sweater.
