A 500-gallon tank initially contains 220 gallons of pure distilled water. Brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon flows int
Wittaler [7]

Answer: The amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes is 36.52 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt in the tank is modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation, which states:

(Salt mass rate per unit time to the tank) - (Salt mass per unit time from the tank) = (Salt accumulation rate of the tank)

Flow is measured as the product of salt concentration and flow. A well stirred mixture means that salt concentrations within tank and in the output mass flow are the same. Inflow salt concentration remains constant. Hence:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = \frac{d(V_{tank}(t) \cdot c(t))}{dt}

By expanding the previous equation:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} \cdot c(t)

The tank capacity and capacity rate of change given in gallons and gallons per minute are, respectivelly:

V_{tank} = 220\\\frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} = 0

Since there is no accumulation within the tank, expression is simplified to this:

c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt}

By rearranging the expression, it is noticed the presence of a First-Order Non-Homogeneous Linear Ordinary Differential Equation:

V_{tank} \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + f_{out} \cdot c(t) = c_0 \cdot f_{in}, where c(0) = 0 \frac{pounds}{gallon}.

\frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}} \cdot c(t) = \frac{c_0}{V_{tank}} \cdot f_{in}

The solution of this equation is:

c(t) = \frac{c_{0}}{f_{out}} \cdot ({1-e^{-\frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}}\cdot t }})

The salt concentration after 8 minutes is:

c(8) = 0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}

The instantaneous amount of salt in the tank is:

m_{salt} = (0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}) \cdot (220 gallons)\\m_{salt} = 36.52 pounds

PLEASE HELP!! Compare &amp; Contrast how Completing the Square is used to Convert a quadratic function to vertex form with how i
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a general quadratic formula given as ax²bx+c = 0

To generate the general formula to solve the quadratic equation, we can use the completing the square method as shown;

Step 1:

Bringing c to the other side

ax²+bx = -c

Dividing through by coefficient of x² which is 'a' will give:

x²+(b/a)x = -c/a

- Completing the square at the left hand side of the equation by adding the square of half the coefficient x i.e (b/2a)² and adding it to both sides of the equation we have:

x²+(b/a)x+(b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a+(b/2a)²

(x+b/2a)² = -c/a + b²/4a²

- Taking the square root of both sides

√(x+b/2a)² = ±√-c/a + b²/√4a²

x+b/2a = ±√(-4ac+b²)/√4a²

x+b/2a =±√b²-4ac/2a

- Taking b/2a to the other side

x = -b/2a±√√b²-4ac/2a

Taking the LCM:

x = {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a

This gives the vertex form with how it is used to Solve a quadratic equation.

Mari has 3 friends who are available to go with her to the movies, but she only has 2 extra tickets. How many different choices
aliina [53]

Answer:

3 different choices

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a combination problem: She has 3 friends, and we want to know how many groups of 2 friends there are. We can solve this using the combination of 3 choose 2:

C(3,2) = 3!(1! * 2!) = 3*2/2 = 3 possibilities

If we call her three friends A, B and C, the groups that can be formed are:

A and B

A and C

B and C

Both have a right angle, and both have a 61* angle, meaning the third angle has to be 29* on both (all angles in a triangle have to add up to 180 so you subtract the 90 and the 61 = 29)
