At a time denoted as t = 0 a technological innovation is introduced into a community that has a fixed population of n people.

Answer:

The differential equation is

dR/dt = -k(2x - n)dx/dt for k > 0

Assuming initially, one person adopts the innovation, then

dR/dt = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people in the community is "n"

At time t, the number of people who

have adopted the innovation is "x(t)"

This Tells us that (n - x) people haven't adopted the innovation.

It is assumed that the rate at which the innovations spread through the community is jointly proportional to the number of people who have adopted it and the number of people who have not adopted it.

So

Let R be the rate, then

R is proportional to x(n - x)

R = kx(n - x) = -kx(x - n)

Differentiating this with respect to time, t, we have

dR/dt = (-k(x - n) - kx)dx/dt

dR/dt = -k(2x - n)dx/dt for k > 0

And this is the differential equation.

Assuming initially, one person adopts the innovation, then

dR/dt = 0

Start by using trig to find the length of the line LJ

The triangle KJL (big right angled triangle) has been given the following dimensions

Hypotenuse = 8 \sqrt{2}
The adjacent angle is 30 degrees

Since we have the hypotenuse and the  angle we must use the equation 
opposite = Sin(angle) x Hypotenuse

Opposite= sin30 x 8 \sqrt{2}

Opposite= 4 \sqrt{2}

Therefore line LJ is 4 \sqrt{2}


Now look at the smaller right angled triangle (LMJ) 

Hypotenuse is the line LJ which is 4 \sqrt{2}

The adjacent angle is 45

Since we have hypotenuse and angle we must use the equation opposite = sin(angle) * h

therefore 
x= 4 \sqrt{2} * sin45= 4

PLEASE help a girl out! :)What is the actual area of the room?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

=75ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is found by mulitplying width and height.

A=7.5(5)\\

A=37.5\\in

The ratio is 0.5in : 1ft, so if you multiply that ratio to the answer, you should get the answer in feet.

37.5in x \frac{1ft}{0.5in} =75ft^{2}

Philip did 14 setups on Monday 21 sit-ups on Tuesday and 28 sit-ups on Wednesday if the pattern continues how many sit-ups will
g100num [7]
So you add 7 every time so,

28+7=34
34+7=41

if he continues his pattern he will have done 41 sit-ups on Friday
