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}

Solve using the pathagorean theorem​
Annette [7]

Answer:

√19 or 4.36 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

10^2 = 9^2 + x^2

x^2 = 10^2 - 9^2

x^2 = (10-9)(10+9) = 19

x = √19.

Tan is equal to sin over cosine so if this is all the info you are given sin.is 3 and cosine is 4. However it is possible term cancel out like sin could be 3/5 and cosine 4/5 which would still give tan 3/4. Actually that is probably what it is to make a 3 4 5 triangle.
To make sine and cos equal the opposite and adjacent sides must be equal. By corresponding angles it is isosceles so b and c must be 45
