We have the following differential equation to solve:

\frac{dy}{dt} =ky

In which we know y=f(t).

First, we'll use "separation of variable" (think of it as treating the differential quantities of a variable as a variable by themselves) to rewrite the differential equation as follows:

\frac{1}{y}dy=kdt

We set an integral in both sides of the equation (keep in mind k is a constant):

\int { \frac{1}{y} } \, dy= k\int{dt} \,

We solve the integral:

ln(y)+C=kt+D

In which C and D are constants, hence we can rewrite the equation with only one constant (lets call it A):

ln(y)=kt+A

We solve for y:

e^{ln(y)}= e^{kt+A}= e^{kt}  e^A}

We simplify and notice that e^A is a constant so can be written with one arbitrary symbol (I'll use Q):

y=f(t)=Q e^{kt}

The previous is called the general solution for the differential equation, we're looking for the specific solution given our known values of the function. So now, we need to obtain the values of the constants Q and k, this is done by using the known two values of the function.

Lets start with if f(0)=4:

f(0)=4=Q e^{k(0)}=Q

So, we have the value of one constant, Q=4.

Now, lets find the value of the other constant using f(2)=12:

f(2)=12=4 e^{2k}
3= e^{2k}
k= \frac{ln(3)}{2}

Now that we know both of the constants, we can write the specific solution of the differential equation, which is the answer of the problem:

y=f(t)=4 e^{ \frac{ln(3)}{2}t }

Which is option A.

Y=5x-4
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

\displaystyle -5x + y = -92\:or\:y = 5x - 92

Step-by-step explanation:

−12 = 5[16] + b

80

\displaystyle -92 = b \\ \\ y = 5x - 92

If you want it in <em>Standard</em><em> </em><em>Form</em>:

y = 5x - 92

- 5x - 5x

__________

\displaystyle -5x + y = -92

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Philip is conducting a survey to determine the weight of 100 cows on a farm. Which of the following questions is an appropriate
liubo4ka [24]
Because Philip is conducting a survey that pertains to the weight of the cows, he needs statistics that directly relate to weight.

The cows being overweight doesn't give Philip concrete information on the weight of the cows, as it doesn't give the amount of pounds a cow weighs. Average age has nothing to do with weight, and normal body weight doesn't give concrete information on weight.

The answer is "<span>What is the weight of each cow on the farm?".</span>
