n many population growth problems, there is an upper limit beyond which the population cannot grow. Many scientists agree that t

he earth will not support a population of more than 16 billion. There were 2 billion people on earth at the start of 1925 and 4 billion at the beginning of 1975. If yy is the population, measured in billions, tt years after 1925, an appropriate model is the differential equation

Answer:

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K}) = 0.017P(1 - \frac{P}{16})

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic function of population growth, that is, the solution of the differential equation is as follows:

P(t) = \frac{KP_{0}e^{rt}}{K + P_{0}(e^{rt} - 1)}

We use this equation to find the value of r.

In this problem, we have that:

K = 16, P_{0} = 2, P(50) = 4

So we find the value of r.

P(t) = \frac{KP_{0}e^{rt}}{K + P_{0}(e^{rt} - 1)}

4 = \frac{16*2e^{50r}}{16 + 2*(e^{50r} - 1)}

4 = \frac{32e^{50r}}{14 + 2e^{50r}}

56 + 8e^{50r} = 32e^{50r}}

24e^{50r} = 56

e^{50r} = 2.33

Applying ln to both sides of the equality

50r = 0.8459

r = 0.017

So

The differential equation is

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K}) = 0.017P(1 - \frac{P}{16})

Han and Tyler are following a polenta recipe that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5  cups of water, not 3.

3 is too little

2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.

The square rootof which number is rational a7. b 1.96. c. 0.04. d. 13​
artcher [175]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which one of these numbers is a perfect square. We know 7 and 13 can be eliminated since they're prime numbers so they can't be perfect squares. B and C are both perfect squares so that's the answer.

Show work how you know it’s a function or not a function for each problem. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT
Fudgin [204]

Answer: Function, not a function, Function, not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

For it to be a function, each value of x has to map onto one value of y.

  1. This is a function.
  2. Not a function since x=-1 has more than one y value.
  3. This is a function
  4. Not a function since x=-6 has more than one y value.
