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

Steve sells half of his comic books and then buys 6 more now he has 14 comic books
ddd [48]

Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

b \to \dfrac{b}{2}

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

\dfrac{b}{2} \to \dfrac{b}{2}+6

This number is now 14, so you have

\dfrac{b}{2}+6 = 14

Subtract 6 from both sides:

\dfrac{b}{2} = 8

Multiply both sides by 2:

b = 16

Eve plays basketball. She makes 7 free throws for every 3 free throws that she misses. If she missed 27 free throws at
VikaD [51]
Well if she missed 27, we would need to divide 27 by 3 which gives us 9, then we’d multiply 7 by nine and it’s 63. She made 63 free throws

WHATS THE ANGLE MEASUREMENTS ?? & TELL HOW YOU GOT IT !!
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

...

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2 +5x - 10 +4x = 180

16x - 12 = 180

16x = 168

x = 10.5

now plug it in

7(10.5) - 2 = 71.5°

4(10.5) = 42°

5(10.5) -10 = 42.5°
