Set up a differential equation using rate of salt going in minus rate going out.

Rate = dS/dt = salt/gal* gal/min

Also the number of gallons in tank is increasing at (4-2) gal/min = 2 gal/min
The volume of tank at any given time = 100+2t

Differential Equation:
\frac{dS}{dt} = (\frac{1}{4})(4) - (\frac{S}{100+2t}) (2)
 \\  \\  \frac{dS}{dt} = 1 - \frac{S}{t + 50} \\  \\  \frac{dS}{dt} + (\frac{1}{t+50}) S = 1

Use integrating factor of t+50
[S(t+50)]' = t+50

Integrate both sides
S(t+50) = \frac{t^2}{2} + 50t + c
Solve for constant c given S(0) = 20
c = 1000

Tank is full at 200 gallons when t =50
100+2t = 200 ---> t = 50

S(50) = 47.5 

Final Answer: There are 47.5 pounds of salt

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer

a)

P(t) = 19100. e^{0.06t}

b) P(8) =30866

Step-by-step explanation

Use formula:

P(t) = P. e^{rt}

a)

Here, P = 19100

r = 6% = 0.06

P(t) = 19100. e^{0.06t}

b) t = 2008 - 2000 = 8

P(8) = 19100. e^{0.06\times 8}

P(8) = 19100. e^{0.48}

P(8) = 19100\times 1.616\\\\P(8) = 30,865.6\\\\P(8) \approx 30,866

What are the solution(s) of x2-4-0?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

For x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

x^2 - 4 = 0

Now, using the ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

Comparing this with the above expression, we get

x^2 - 4 = 0  = x^2 - (2)^2 = 0\\\implies (x-2)(x+2) = 0

⇒Either (x-2) = 0 , or ( x + 2) = 0

So, if ( x- 2)   = 0 ⇒ x =  2

and if ( x + 2) = 0   ⇒ x = -2

Hence, for x^2 - 4 = 0, x  = 2, or x = - 2.

a cd usally sells for 17.00 if the CD is 30% off and the sales tax is 8% what is the total price of the CD including tax
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$12.85

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the sale price of the CD

Sale price = old price - old price * discount rate

                 = 17 - 17* .3

                 = 17 - 5.1

                 = 11.9

The sale price of the CD is 11.90

Now we need to find the tax

tax = sale price of cd * tax rate

      = 11.9 * .08

      = .95


The final cost of the CD is  sale price of CD plus the tax

Total cost = sale price of CD + tax

                 = 11.90 + .95

                    =12.85

HELP ME WITH MATH PLS
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: y = (xm)/3 + b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply m on both sides

x × m = 3(y - b)

2. Divide by 3 on both sides

(xm)/3 = y - b

3. Add b on both sides

y = (xm)/3 + b
