The population of a suburb grows at a rate proportional to the population. Suppose the population doubles in size from 3000 to 6

000 in a 6- month period and continues at the current rate of growth. Find the particular solution to the differential equation with the initial condition P(0)=3000.

Answer:

P(t) = 3000e^{0.1155t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of the population can be modeled by the following differential equation:

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP

Where r is the growth rate, P is the population, and t is the time measures in months.

I am going to solve the above differential equation with the separation of variables method.

\frac{dP}{P} = rdt

Integrating both sides:

ln P = rt + P(0)

Where P(0) is the initial condition

We need to isolate P in this equation, so we do this

e^{ln P} = e^{rt + P(0)}

So

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

The problem states that P(0)=3000, so:

P(t) = 3000e^{rt}

The problem wants us to find the value of r:

It states that the population doubles in size from 3000 to 6000 in a 6- month period, meaning that P(6) = 6000. So

6000 = 3000e^{6r}

e^{6r} = 2

To isolate 6r, we apply ln to both sides.

ln (e^{6r}) = ln 2

6r = 0.693

r = \frac{0.693}{6}

r = 0.1155

The particular solution to the differential equation with the initial condition P(0)=3000 is:

P(t) = 3000e^{0.1155t}

So you subtract $22.89 from $54.73 to get a total of $31.84 and that’s how much the customer paid.

Which of the following trigonometric ratios are correct?
den301095 [7]

Hi there! In this problem, you should have the knowledge of three basic Trigonometric Ratio.

  • sinA = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cosA = adjacent/hypotenuse
  • tanA = opposite/adjacent

Now that we know three basic ratio. Let's check each choices!

  • sin50° = d/c

This choice is wrong because we focus on the 50° angle. When we focus on 50°, sin50° should be d/x and not d/c.

  • sin50° = c/x

This choice is also wrong because in ratio, it's cos50° that adjacent/hypotenuse.

  • tan50° = d/c

This choice is correct! As ratio states, tanA = opposite/adjacent.

  • tan50° = x/c

This choice is wrong. x/c is a reciprocal of cosine which is 1/cos. We call the reciprocal of cosine as secant or sec in short.

  • cos50° = x/d

This choice is wrong as x/d is a reciprocal of sine which is 1/sin. We call the reciprocal of sine as cosecant or cosec/csc in short.

  • cos50° = c/x

This choice is right by the ratio. Nothing really much to explain since we follow by ratio that is defined.

Answer

  • tan50° = d/c
  • cos50° = c/x

Questions can be asked through comment.

Furthermore, tan also has its reciprocal form itself which is called cotangent also known as cot in short.

Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)
