The rate of change of the number of squirrels S(t) that live on the Lehman College campus is directly proportional to 30 − S(t),

where t is the time in years. When t = 0, the population was 15, and when t = 2, the population increased to 20. Find the population when t = 3.

Answer:

S(3)=22

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the number of squirrels S(t) that live on the Lehman College campus is directly proportional to 30 − S(t).

\dfrac{dS}{dt}=k(30-S(t))\\ \dfrac{dS}{dt}+kS(t)=30k\\$The integrating factor: e^{\int k dt}=e^{kt}\\$Multiply all through by the integrating factor\\ \dfrac{dS}{dt}e^{kt}+kS(t)e^{kt}=30ke^{kt}

(Se^{kt})'=30ke^{kt} dt\\$Integrate both sides\\ Se^{kt}=\dfrac{30ke^{kt}}{k}+C$ (C a constant of integration)\\Se^{kt}=30e^{kt}+C\\$Divide both sides by e^{kt}\\S(t)=30+Ce^{-kt}

When t=0, S(t)=15

15=30+Ce^{-k*0}\\C=15-30\\C=-15

When t = 2, S(t)=20

20=30-15e^{-2k}\\20-30=-15e^{-2k}\\-10=-15e^{-2k}\\e^{-2k}=\dfrac23\\$Take the natural log of both sides$\\-2k=\ln \dfrac23\\k=-\dfrac{\ln(2/3)}{2}

Therefore:

S(t)=30-15e^{\frac{\ln(2/3)}{2}t}\\$When t=3$\\S(t)=30-15e^{\frac{\ln(2/3)}{2} \times 3}\\S(3)=21.8 \approx 22

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 36 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function
Aloiza [94]

The ball's maximum height is 30.25 feet.

<h3>What is quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation in math is a second-degree equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0. Here a, b, are the coefficients, c is the constant term, and x is the variable.

Given:

h= -16t²+36t+10

Differentiate w.r.t. 't',

h' = -32t+36

When h=0, that will be the maximum height

32t= 36

t= 9/8

t= 1.125 sec.

So, The maximum height is

h(1.123)= -16(1.125)² + 36*1.125+10

h(1.125) = 30.25 feet.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

y = - 9.1768x2 + 122.2567x + 14.9091

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Month (x) Daily Rental Price (y) 1 $154 2 $205 3 $266 4 $358 5 $403 6 $425 7 $437 8 $430 9 $381 10 $285 11 $211 12 $195

Using the online regression equation graphing tool ; The quadratic model obtained in the form,

y = Ax^2 + Bx + C is :

y = - 9.1768x2 + 122.2567x + 14.9091
