Let's call the numerator x. Since the denominator is four more than three times the numerator, it means that it equals 3x+4. So, the original fraction is


\frac{x}{3x+4}


Note that this implies that x \neq \frac{-4}{3}, otherwise the denominator would be zero. Now, we need to increase both numerator and denominator by 4, obtaining this new fraction:


\frac{x+4}{3x+4+4} = \frac{x+4}{3x+8}


Note that this implies that x \neq \frac{-8}{3}, otherwise the denominator would be zero. And we know that this equals 925 (assuming that 925925 is some kind of typo/formatting error). This leads to the equation


\frac{x+4}{3x+8} = 925


Since we assumed that the denominator is not zero, we can multiply both sides by it, so that the equation becomes


x+4 = 925(3x+8) = 7400 + 2775 x


Subtract 4 from both sides to get


x = 7396 + 2775 x


Subtract 2775x from both sides to get


-2774 x = 7396


Finally, divide both sides by -2774 to get


x = \frac{7396}{-2774}

Write the differential equation model that fits the given description. (a) The rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

a) he rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due to melting) is proportional to the square of the volume at time t. Initially, the snowball has a volume of 900 cm3

\frac{dV(t)}{dT} = A*V(t)^{2} \\ and V(0) = 900cm^{3}

where A is a real constant, it appears because it says that the change i volume (dV/dt) is "proportional" to V(t)^{2}. Furthermore, we should assume that A is a negative number, because the volume of the snowball will decrease as the time pasese by.

(b) For an insect moving along some path, the velocity at time t is proportional to the square root of its position.

\frac{dr(t)}{dt}  = B*\sqrt{r(t)}

Here again appears a constant B for the "proportional" part. And i wrote the velocity as \frac{dr(t)}{dt} "the rate of change of the position with respect to te time".
