Answer:

$300  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D = Dave's savings and S = Sam's savings.

(1)                     D/S = 5/4

(2) (D – 40)/(S-40) = 13/10                  Multiply (1) by 4S

(3)                     4D = 5S                      Multiply (2) by 10(S-40)

            10(D - 40) = 13(S - 40)            Remove parentheses

(4)       10D – 400 = 13S - 520            Solve (3) for S

                         S = (4/5)D                  Substitute into (4)

         10D – 400 = 13(4/5)D - 520     Multiply each side by 5

     50D – 2000 = 52D – 2600         Subtract 50D from each side

               -2000 = 2D – 2600            Add 2600 to each side

                  600 = 2D                          Divide each side by 2

                      D = $300

Dave's savings at first were $300.

The differential equation in Example 3 of Section 2.1 is a well-known population model. Suppose the DE is changed to dP dt = P(a
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the integral of the DE;

dP/dt=P(aP-b)

dP=P(aP-b)dt

1/(dP^2-bP)dP=dt

We can solve this by integration by parts on the left side. We expand the fraction 1/P²:

1/(d-b/P)\cdot{P^2} dP

let

u=d-b/P

du/dP=b/P^2

dP=\int\limits {P^2/b} \, du

P=lnu/b

Substitute u in:

P=ln(d-b/P)/b

Therefore the equation is:

ln(d-b/P)/b=t

We simplify:

d-b/P=e^b^t

P=b/(d-e^b^t)

As t increases to infinity P will decrease
