A contaminant is leaking into a lake at a rate of R(t) = 1700e^0.06t gal/h. Enzymes that neutralize the contaminant have been ad

ded to the lake over time so that after t hours the fraction of contaminant that remains is S(t) = e^−0.32t. If there are currently 10,000 gallons of the contaminant in the lake, how many gallons will be present in the lake 17 hours from now? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer:

16,460 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem, we have a constant flow of contaminant into the lake, but also we know that only a fraction of that quantity of contaminant remains because of the enzymes. For that reason, the differential equation of contaminant's flow into the lake would be:

\frac{dQ}{dt} =1700exp(0.06t)*exp(-0.32t)\\\frac{dQ}{dt} =1700exp(-0.26t)\\

Then, we have to integrate in order to find the equation for Q(t), as the quantity of contaminant in the lake, in function of time.

\int\limits^0_t {dQ}=\int\limits^0_t {1700exp(-0.26t)dt}\\Q(t)=\frac{1700}{-0.26} exp(-0.26t)+C \\

Now, we use the given conditions to replace them in the equation, in order to solve for C

t_{0} =0\\Q_{0}=10,000\\Q_{0}=-6538exp(-0.26*0)+C\\C=10,000+6538=16538

Then, we reorganize the equation and we replace t for 17 hours, in order to determine the quantity of contaminant at that time:

Q_{t} =-6538exp(-0.26t)+16538\\Q_{17} =-6538exp(-0.26*17)+16538\\Q_{17} =16460 gallons

Write a program that accepts a whole number as Input multiplies that number by 12 the outputs the product
frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

programs can be written in multiply languages. for this solution I'll be writing in C++.

#include<iostream> // this is called the preprocessor definition

using namespace std;

int main()                      //the main function

{

   int num, product;      //declaration of the variables

    cout << "enter the whole number";  

    cin >> num;

    product = num * 12;

     cout << product; // displaying the final results

     return 0;

}

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 354 yards. If the width of the field is 82 yards, what is its length
GenaCL600 [577]
Length is 95 yards.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of four sides. The four sides are either its length or width.

A rectangle has four sides where its angles are all right angles and its opposite sides are congruent or of equal size.

Perimeter = 2length + 2width ==> P = 2L   + 2W

354 = 2L + 2(82)
354 = 2L + 164
to get the length. we must transfer all like signs.
2L = 354 - 164
2L = 190
2L / 2 = 190 / 2
L = 95 yards.
