of salt per gallon is entering at the rate of 3 gal/min and the mixture is allowed to ow out of the tank at the rateof 2 gal/min. (a) Find the amount of salt in the tank anytime prior to the instant when the tank begins to over ow.(b) Find the concentration (in lbs per gallon) when it is at the point of over owing. (c) Find the theoretical limitingconcentration if the tank had in nite capacity.

Answer:

(a) The amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the solution begins to overflow is \left(1-\frac{4000000}{\left(200+t\right)^3}\right)\left(200+t\right).

(b) The concentration (in lbs per gallon) when it is at the point of overflowing is \frac{121}{125}\:\frac{lb}{gal}.

(c) The theoretical limiting concentration if the tank has infinite capacity is 1\:\frac{lb}{gal}.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a mixing problem. In these problems we will start with a substance that is dissolved in a liquid. Liquid will be entering and leaving a holding tank. The liquid entering the tank may or may not contain more of the substance dissolved in it. Liquid leaving the tank will of course contain the substance dissolved in it. If <em>Q(t)</em> gives the amount of the substance dissolved in the liquid in the tank at any time t we want to develop a differential equation that, when solved, will give us an expression for <em>Q(t)</em>.

The main equation that we’ll be using to model this situation is:

Rate of change of <em>Q(t)</em> = Rate at which <em>Q(t)</em> enters the tank – Rate at which <em>Q(t)</em> exits the tank

where,

Rate at which <em>Q(t)</em> enters the tank = (flow rate of liquid entering) x (concentration of substance in liquid entering)

Rate at which <em>Q(t)</em> exits the tank = (flow rate of liquid exiting) x (concentration of substance in liquid exiting)

Let C be the concentration of salt water solution in the tank (in \frac{lb}{gal}) and t the time (in minutes).

Since the solution being pumped in has concentration 1 \:\frac{lb}{gal} and it is being pumped in at a rate of 3 \:\frac{gal}{min}, this tells us that the rate of the salt entering the tank is

1 \:\frac{lb}{gal} \cdot 3 \:\frac{gal}{min}=3\:\frac{lb}{min}

But this describes the amount of salt entering the system. We need the concentration. To get this, we need to divide the amount of salt entering the tank by the volume of water already in the tank.

V(t) is the volume of brine in the tank at time t. To find it we know that at t = 0 there were 200 gallons, 3 gallons are added and 2 are drained, and the net increase is 1 gallons per second. So,

V(t)=200+t

Therefore,

The rate at which C(t) enters the tank is

\frac{3}{200+t}

The rate of the amount of salt leaving the tank is

C\:\frac{lb}{gal} \cdot 2 \:\frac{gal}{min}+C\:\frac{lb}{gal} \cdot 1\:\frac{gal}{min}=3C\:\frac{lb}{min}

and the rate at which C(t) exits the tank is

\frac{3C}{200+t}

Plugging this information in the main equation, our differential equation model is:

\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{3}{200+t}-\frac{3C}{200+t}

Since we are told that the tank starts out with 200 gal of solution, containing 100 lb of salt, the initial concentration is

\frac{100 \:lb}{200 \:gal} =0.5\frac{\:lb}{\:gal}

Next, we solve the initial value problem

\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{3-3C}{200+t}, \quad C(0)=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{3-3C}{200+t}\\\\\frac{dC}{3-3C} =\frac{dt}{200+t} \\\\\int \frac{dC}{3-3C} =\int\frac{dt}{200+t} \\\\-\frac{1}{3}\ln \left|3-3C\right|=\ln \left|200+t\right|+D\\\\

We solve for C(t)

C(t)=1+D(200+t)^{-3}

D is the constant of integration, to find it we use the initial condition C(0)=\frac{1}{2}

C(0)=1+D(200+0)^{-3}\\\frac{1}{2} =1+D(200+0)^{-3}\\D=-4000000

So the concentration of the solution in the tank at any time t (before the tank overflows) is

C(t)=1-4000000(200+t)^{-3}

(a) The amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the solution begins to overflow is just the concentration of the solution times its volume

(1-4000000(200+t)^{-3})(200+t)\\\left(1-\frac{4000000}{\left(200+t\right)^3}\right)\left(200+t\right)

(b) Since the tank can hold 500 gallons, it will begin to overflow when the volume is exactly 500 gal.  We noticed before that the volume of the solution at time t is V(t)=200+t. Solving the equation

200+t=500\\t=300

tells us that the tank will begin to overflow at 300 minutes. Thus the concentration at that time is

C(300)=1-4000000(200+300)^{-3}\\\\C(300)= \frac{121}{125}\:\frac{lb}{gal}

(c) If the tank had infinite capacity the concentration would then converge to,

\lim_{t \to \infty} C(t)=  \lim_{t \to \infty} 1-4000000\left(200+t\right)^{-3}\\\\\lim _{t\to \infty \:}\left(1\right)-\lim _{t\to \infty \:}\left(4000000\left(200+t\right)^{-3}\right)\\\\1-0\\\\1

The theoretical limiting concentration if the tank has infinite capacity is 1\:\frac{lb}{gal}

A restaurant has an electronic system that randomly selects customers when they pay for their meal to
polet [3.4K]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.81 = 81% probability that NEITHER customer is selected to receive a coupon.

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes, either they receive the coupon, or they do not. The probability of a customer receiving the coupon is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • For each customer, 10% probability of receiving a coupon, thus p = 0.1.
  • 2 customers are selected, thus n = 2

The probability that <u>neither receives a coupon is P(X = 0)</u>, thus:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.81

0.81 = 81% probability that NEITHER customer is selected to receive a coupon.

User: Translate the following words to algebra symbols, using "n" as the variable. Seven is two less than twice a number.
muminat
7 = 2n - 2

n= a number so twice a number is 2n and 7 is 2 less than twice this number.

An arithmetic sequence has a1 = 22 and a8 = 43. Find a15.
brilliants [131]

The 15th term of the arithmetic sequence a_{15} = 64

Option B is correct

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:

a_{n} = a + (n - 1)d

The first value, a = 22

a_8 = a+(8 - 1)d\\a_8 = a + 7d

Since a_8 = 43

43 = 22 + 7d\\7d = 43 - 22\\7d = 21\\d = \frac{21}{7}\\d = 3

The common difference, d = 3

a_{15}= a + (15-1)d\\a_{15} = a + 14d\\a_{15} = 22 + 14(3)\\a_{15} = 22 + 42\\a_{15} = 64

The 15th term of the arithmetic sequence = 64
