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}

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the three 1 point shots

Subtract the four 3 point shots

You are left with 12, and you split that in 2 because they're 2 point shots.

What is the slope line that would be parallel to the given line???
Serjik [45]

Slope of a line parallel to given line is equal to slope of given line.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given that, we have to find the slope of any line that is parallel to a line in the co – ordinate plane.

We know that, slope of a line is tan( angle  of a line made between that line and the x – axis)

So, consider two lines which are parallel , then, angles made by both the parallel lines will be equal with the x – axis.

Then, tan( angle by 1st line) = tan( angle by 2nd line)

Which means that, slope of two lines will be equal.

Hence, slope of a line parallel to given is equal to slope of given line.

A plane flies at a steady rate of 40 mph while a second plane flies at a steady rate of 100 mph. The planes are 200 miles apart
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first plane in positive direction, = 40 mph

speed of the second plane in negative direction(opposite direction) = -100 mph

distance between the two planes = 200 miles

Let the time the two planes will meet = t

the position of the first plane at this time "t" = 40t

the position of the second plane at this time "t" = -100t

(40t)>--------------------------------<(-100t), this space between them is 200 miles.

Thus, the difference in the distance they traveled before meeting should be equal to 200 miles.

40t - (-100t) = 200

40t + 100t = 200

140t = 200

t = 200 / 140

t = 1.43 hours

Therefore, the time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours
