A tank contains 1000 L of pure water. Brine that contains 0.05 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 5 L/mi

n. Brine that contains 0.04 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 10 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at a rate of 15 L/min. How much salt is in the tank (a) after minutes and (b) after one hour?

(a) after t minutes

If y(t) is the amount of salt (in kg) after t minutes, then y(0) = 0 \ (pure\ water) and the total amount of liquid in the tank remains constant at 1000 L.

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} \\ = \left( 0.05 \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{L}} \right) \left( 5 \frac{\text{L}}{\text{min}} \right)  + \left( 0.04 \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{L}} \right)\left( 10 \frac{\text{L}}{\text{min}} \right) - \left( \frac{y(t)}{1000} \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{L}} \right)\left( 15\frac{\text{L}}{\text{min}} \right) \\ \\ 
= 0.25 + 0.40 - 0.015y = 0.65 - 0.015 y = \frac{130 - 3y}{200} \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{min}}

\text{Hence, } \displaystyle \int \frac{dy}{130 - 3y} = \int\frac{dt}{200}

and -\frac{1}{3}\ln|130 - 3y| = \frac{1}{200}t + C.

Because y(0) = 0, we have -\frac{1}{3} \ln 130 = C

so

-\frac{1}{3}\ln|130 - 3y| = \frac{1}{200}t -\frac{1}{3} \ln 130\ \Rightarrow \\ \\\ \ln|130 - 3y| = -\frac{3}{200}t + \ln 130 \ \Rightarrow \\ \\  |130 - 3y| = e^{-3t/200 + \ln 130}  \ \Rightarrow \\ \\
|130 - 3y| = 130e^{-3t/200}

Since y is continuous, y(0) = 0, and the right-hand side is never zero, we deduce that 130 - 3y is always positive.

Thus, 130 - y = 130e^{-3t/200} and
y = \frac{130}{3}\left( 1 - e^{-3t/200}\right) \text{ kg}

(b)

After one hour,

y = \frac{130}{3}\left( 1 - e^{-3 \cdot 60/200}\right) = \frac{130}{3}(1 - e^{-0.9} ) \approx 25.7 \text{ kg}

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break, a total distance of 290 miles.
vredina [299]

Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.

at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is

50t

Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is

45(6 - t)

Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that

50t + 45(6 - t) = 290

50t + 270 - 45t = 290

50t - 45t = 290 - 270

5t = 20

t = 20/5 = 4

At 45 miles per hour, she drove at

6 - 4 = 2 hours
