This is a warmup for your first project. The drug valium is eliminated from the bloodstream through a decay process with a half-

life of 36 hours. This means that no matter how much drug is in your body, 36 hours later, half will be left. An initial dose of 20 milligrams of valium is taken at midnight. This is actually a version of the mixing-tank problem with the tank representing the circulatory system. If we don’t know something, give it a name (e.g. flow in = rin). Assume that the volume of blood in a person does not fluctuate much, so we can assume it is a constant.
(a) Define your dependent and independent variable with units. Typical volume units for blood is in terms of Liters.
(b) What is the flow rate in? flow rate out? concentration going in? concentration going out? initial condition?
(c) Write the initial value problem (IVP).
(d) Solve your initial value problem.
(e) Use information given to you to determine all constants in your solution.
(f) What is the amount of valium in your body at noon the next day? How long does it take for the drug to reach 10% of its initial level?

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We have v as the amount of drug(mg) in the blood at time t (hrs)

b. Flow rate in = k litre/he

For a circulatory system we have the flow rate in and flow rate out to be the same

Therefore,

Flow rate out = k litre/hr

concentration of drug going in = 0mg/litre

Concentration of drug going out = v mg/litre

V(0) = 20mg since 20mg was taken at midnight

V(0) = 20

Half life t1/2 = 36 hours

V(36) = v(0)/2

= 20/2

= 10mg

C. ivp = \frac{dv}{dt}= -kv

v(0) = 20mg\\v(36) = 10mg

d. solution

\frac{dv}{dt}  = -kt\\ln(v) = ln(c) - kt

\frac{v}{c} = e^{-kt}  = v=ce^{-kt}

v(0) = 20

ce^{-k(0)} =20

c = 20

so

v(t) = 20e^{-kt}

e.

t\frac{1}{2}=36hours\\ v(36)= 10

10 = 20e^{-36k}

\frac{1}{2} =e^{-36k}

we take log

k=\frac{ln(2)}{36}

Answer:

c) skewed to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that is a distribution is skewed to the right then we have the following condition satisfied:

Mode< Median

And if is skewed to the left then we have:

Mean

If the distribution is symmetric we need to satisfy:

Mean = Median=Mode

For this case since we have most of the values between 200000 and 500000 when we put atypical values like 15000000 that would affect the sample mean and on this case the sample mean would larger than the sample median because the median is a robust measure of central tendency not affected by outliers.

So for this special case we can say that the Mean>Median. And probably the median would be higher than the mode so then we can conclude that the best answer for this case would be:

c) skewed to the right.

Two hoses of different sizes are used to fill a pool. The smaller hose can fill the pool in 1.5 times as long as the larger hose
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours it takes the larger hose to fill the pool. Then each hour, it contributes 1/x of the pool volume. Similarly, the other hose contributes a volume of 1/(1.5x) each hour.

The two hoses together contribute a volume of 1/9 of the pool volume each hour:

  1/x +1/(1.5x) = 1/9

  2.5/(1.5x) = 1/9 . . . . combine the fractions

  22.5/1.5 = x . . . . . . multiply by 9x

  15 = x

It takes the larger hose 15 hours to fill the pool alone.

Resuelve las siguientes ecuaciones y luego verifica<br> A-)3x +1=7<br> B-)2a-2=1+3a
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

A) x=2

B) a=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

La primera ecuación dada es,

A) 3x + 1 = 7

Reste 1 de ambos lados, tenemos

3x +1-1=7-1

\Rightarrow 3x=6

Dividir por 3 (ya que 3 es un número distinto de cero) de ambos lados, tenemos

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac {6}{3}

\Rightarrow x=2

Ahora, compruebe si x = 2 es la solución correcta o no.

El lado izquierdo de la ecuación dada es 3x + 1.

Ponga x = 2, tenemos

3\times2+1=7

Que es igual al lado derecho de la ecuación dada.

Por tanto, x = 2 es la solución correcta.

La segunda ecuación es

B) 2a-2=1+3a

Reste 3a de ambos lados, tenemos

2a-2-3a=1+3a-3a

\Rightarrow -a-2=1

Suma 2 de ambos lados, tenemos

-a-2+2=1+2

\Rightarrow -a=3

Multiplica por -1 (como -1 es un número distinto de cero) de ambos lados, tenemos

-a\times (-1)=3\times(-1)

\Rightarrow a=-3

Ahora, verifique si a = -3 es la solución correcta o no

El lado izquierdo de la ecuación dada es 2a-2.

Ponga a = -3, tenemos

2\times(-3)-2=-8

El lado derecho de la ecuación dada es 1 + 3a.

Ponga a = -3, tenemos

1+3\times(-3)=-8.

Aquí, al poner a = -3, el valor del lado izquierdo es igual al valor del lado derecho.

Por tanto, a = -3 es la solución correcta.
