Let's find the remaining distance they must travel.

Total distance-distance covered
150-60=90 mi

Now, we need to find the average speed they need to travel per hour to reach the destination in 2.5 (2 1/2) hours.


90 mi/2.5 h=36 mi/h

They must travel at an average speed of 36mph to reach their destination in 2 1/2 hours.

Check:
60+36(2.5)
=120 mi

For the differential equation dy/dt=ky, k is a constant, y(0)=24, and y(1)=18. What is the value of k?
Gre4nikov [31]

The equation is separable, so solving it is trivial:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ky\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}y=k\,\mathrm dt

Integrating both sides gives

\ln|y|=kt+C\implies y=e^{kt+C}=Ce^{kt}

Given y(0)=24 and y(1)=18, we find

24=C

18=Ce^k=24e^k\implies e^k=\dfrac34\implies k=ln\dfrac34

so the answer is E.
