The rate of change (dP/dt), of the number of people on an ocean beach is modeled by a logistic differential equation. The maximu

m number of people allowed on the beach is 1200. At 10 A.M., the number of people on the beach is 200 and is increasing at the rate of 400 per hour. Whats the differential equation which can describe this situation?

Answer:

\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic differential equation is as follows:

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})

In this problem, we have that:

K = 1200, which is the carring capacity of the population, that is, the maximum number of people allowed on the beach.

At 10 A.M., the number of people on the beach is 200 and is increasing at the rate of 400 per hour.

This means that \frac{dP}{dt} = 400 when P = 200. With this, we can find r, that is, the growth rate,

So

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})

400 = 200r(1 - \frac{200}{1200})

166.67r = 400

r = 2.4

So the differential equation is:

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})

\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})

Lilly records the age, in years, and the height, in inches, of the starting players on the girls’ middle school basketball team.
storchak [24]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The relation in the form of ordered pairs (age, height) is given by,

(11,62), (12,64), (13,65), (13,67) and (14,68).

'A function is a relation in which every element has a unique image'.

So, for the given relation to be a function, every element must have unique image.

But, For age 13, there are girls with 65 and 67 inches of height i.e. the ordered pairs (13,65) and (13,67) exists.

Thus, 13 does not have a unique image.

Hence, the given relation is not a function.

Find the non-extraneous solutions of the square root of the quantity of x plus 3 minus 4 equals x minus 1.
lukranit [14]
X+3=(x+3)^2
x+3=(x+3)(x+3)
x+3= x^2+6x+9
x=x^2+6x+6
0=x^2+5x+6
0=(x+3)(x+2)
x=-2
x=-3
