$3a+b=54\\\\ Substitute\ b\ =\ 9\ into\ the\ equation.\\\\3a+(9)=54\\\\Subtract\ 9\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\3a=45\\\\Divide\ by\ 3\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\{\boxed{a=15}$

If you would like to solve the equation 3 * a + b = 54, when b = 9, you can calculate this using the following steps:

b = 9
3 * a + b = 54
3 * a + 9 = 54
3 * a = 54 - 9
3 * a = 45 /3
a = 45/3
a = 15

The correct result would be 15.

A 200-gal tank contains 100 gal of pure water. At time t = 0, a salt-water solution containing 0.5 lb/gal of salt enters the tan

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

1) $\frac{dy}{dt}=2.5-\frac{3y}{2t+100}$

2) $y(t)=(50+t)- \frac{12500\sqrt{2} }{(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

3) 98.23lbs

4) The salt concentration will increase without bound.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let $y$ represent the amount of salt in the tank at time t, where t is given in minutes.

Recall that: $\frac{dy}{dt}=rate\:in-rate\:out$

The amount coming in is $0.5\frac{lb}{gal}\times 5\frac{gal}{min}=2.5\frac{lb}{min}$

The rate going out depends on the concentration of salt in the tank at time t.

If there is $y(t)$ pounds of salt and there are $100+2t$ gallons at time t, then the concentration is: $\frac{y(t)}{2t+100}$

The rate of liquid leaving is is 3gal\min, so rate out is $=\frac{3y(t)}{2t+100}$

The required differential equation becomes:

$\frac{dy}{dt}=2.5-\frac{3y}{2t+100}$

2) We rewrite to obtain:

$\frac{dy}{dt}+\frac{3}{2t+100}y=2.5$

We multiply through by the integrating factor: $e^{\int \frac{3}{2t+100}dt }=e^{\frac{3}{2} \int \frac{1}{t+50}dt }=(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

to get:

$(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }\frac{dy}{dt}+(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }\cdot \frac{3}{2t+100}y=2.5(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

This gives us:

$((50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }y)'=2.5(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

We integrate both sides with respect to t to get:

$(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }y=(50+t)^{\frac{5}{2} }+ C$

Multiply through by: $(50+t)^{-\frac{3}{2}}$ to get:

$y=(50+t)^{\frac{5}{2} }(50+t)^{-\frac{3}{2} }+ C(50+t)^{-\frac{3}{2} }$

$y(t)=(50+t)+ \frac{C}{(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

We apply the initial condition: $y(0)=0$

$0=(50+0)+ \frac{C}{(50+0)^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

$C=-12500\sqrt{2}$

The amount of salt in the tank at time t is:

$y(t)=(50+t)- \frac{12500\sqrt{2} }{(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

3) The tank will be full after 50 mins.

We put t=50 to find how pounds of salt it will contain:

$y(50)=(50+50)- \frac{12500\sqrt{2} }{(50+50)^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

$y(50)=98.23$

There will be 98.23 pounds of salt.

4) The limiting concentration of salt is given by:

$\lim_{t \to \infty}y(t)={ \lim_{t \to \infty} ( (50+t)- \frac{12500\sqrt{2} }{(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }})$

As $t\to \infty$ , $50+t\to \infty$ and $\frac{12500\sqrt{2} }{(50+t)^{\frac{3}{2} }}\to 0$

This implies that:

$\lim_{t \to \infty}y(t)=\infty- 0=\infty$

If the tank had infinity capacity, there will be absolutely high(infinite) concentration of salt.

The salt concentration will increase without bound.

Paul baked 56 blueberry muffins. His brother Pete ate 7 muffins and his father William ate 5 muffins. Which expression can Paul

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 56-(7+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the amount of muffins left over by adding up the amount of muffins that were eaten and subtracting them from the original amount of blueberry muffins, so the answer is 56-(7+5).

(7+5 is in parentheses because if not, you would have 56-7+5 and get 54).
