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}

Which equation represents the line that passes through points B and C on the graph?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = B(- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = C(- 2, - 2)

m = \frac{-2-2}{-2+4} = \frac{-4}{2} = - 2

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 2, - 2), then

- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6

y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line through B and C
