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

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago

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

Suppose that cos = 12/13 what is sin what is cos 2
riadik2000 [5.3K]
First, some housekeeping:

cos = 12/13 is incomplete; "cos" must have an argument (input).

cos x = 12/13 is fine; here "cos" has the argument (input) x.

Given that cos x = 12/13, find sin x.  To do this, we'll need to find the length of the opposite side, given that the hypo length is 13 and the adj. side length is 12.

12^2 + opp^2 = 13^2, or            opp^2 = 169-144 = 25.

Then the opp side could be either 5 or -5.  Let's assume that it's +5, and that angle x is in the first quadrant.

Then sin x = opp / hyp  =  5/13   (answer)


cos 2 is an entirely different kind of problem.  Here you are told what the argument (input) to the cosine function is (it is 2, which here means 2 radians).

Using a calculator:  cos 2 = -0.416.  Note that the angle 2 rad is in QII, which is why the "adjacent side" is negative and also why the cos of 2 is negative.

10. A triangle has sides with lengths 3,5, 7. Is this an acute, obtuse, or right<br> triangle?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

OBTUSE

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first have to figure this put via Pythagorean theroem. Basically do this (attachment)***C IS THE LARGEST NUMBER*** and know that c^2 < a^2 + b^2 (less than) = ACUTE, c^2 > a^2 + b^2 (greater than) = OBTUSE, and c^2 = a^2 + b^2 is RIGHT. If it is Right with all different numbers, it is SCALENE.
