The sixth term is 22 and the common difference is 6. What is the fifteenth term?

1 answer:

4 0

$T_n = a_1+ d(n-1)$

Given that d = 6 and 6th term is 22,
$22 = a_1+ 6(6-1)$
$22 = a_1+ 30$
$a_1 = 22- 30$
$a_1 = -8$

So the general equation is
$T_n = -8 + 6(n-1)$
$T_n = -8 + 6n-6$
$T_n =6n-14$

When n = 15,
$T_{15} = 6(15)-14$
$T_{15} = 136$

Answer: 136

A large tank is filled to capacity with 300 gallons of pure water. brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into t

Licemer1 [7]

If $A(t)$ is the amount of salt in the tank at time $t$ , then the rate at which this amount changes over time is given by the ODE

$A'(t)=\dfrac{3\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}\cdot\dfrac{5\text{ lb}}{1\text{ gal}}-\dfrac{3\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}\cdot\dfrac{A(t)\text{ lb}}{300+(3-3)t\text{ gal}}$

$A'(t)+\dfrac1{100}A(t)=15$

We're told that the tank initially starts with no salt in the water, so $A(0)=0$ .

Multiply both sides by an integrating factor, $e^{t/100}$ :

$e^{t/100}A'(t)+\dfrac1{100}e^{t/100}A(t)=15e^{t/100}$
$\left(e^{t/100}A(t)\right)'=15e^{t/100}$
$e^{t/100}A(t)=1500e^{t/100}+C$
$A(t)=1500+Ce^{-t/100}$

Since $A(0)=0$ , we have

$0=1500+C\implies C=-1500$

so that the amount of salt in the tank over time is given by

$A(t)=1500(1-e^{-t/100})$

After 10 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank is

$A(10)=1500(1-e^{-1/10})\approx142.74\text{ lb}$
