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})

Prices in a car showroom are going to increase by 7%. How much extra will you have to pay for a car that now cost $14,675
adell [148]
Take the cost and multiply by the percent. (I’m going to convert the percentage into a decimal)

14,675 * 0.07 = 1,027.25

$1,027.25 is how much extra money will have to be paid for the car.

Hope this helps.
