Presuming the rooms are connected to each other by a door and that each room has two doors, you will potentially check in;
\frac{1514}{2} -1
= 756 rooms
We are subtracting 1 since the last door doesn't lead to another room.

A 75-gallon tank is filled with brine (water nearly saturated with salt; used as a preservative) holding 11 pounds of salt in so
Debora [2.8K]

Let A(t) = amount of salt (in pounds) in the tank at time t (in minutes). Then A(0) = 11.

Salt flows in at a rate

\left(0.6\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right) \left(3\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac95 \dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}

and flows out at a rate

\left(\dfrac{A(t)\,\rm lb}{75\,\rm gal + \left(3\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min} - 3.25\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t}\right) \left(3.25\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac{13A(t)}{300-t} \dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}

where 4 quarts = 1 gallon so 13 quarts = 3.25 gallon.

Then the net rate of salt flow is given by the differential equation

\dfrac{dA}{dt} = \dfrac95 - \dfrac{13A}{300-t}

which I'll solve with the integrating factor method.

\dfrac{dA}{dt} + \dfrac{13}{300-t} A = \dfrac95

-\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} \dfrac{dA}{dt} - \dfrac{13}{(300-t)^{14}} A = -\dfrac9{5(300-t)^{13}}

\dfrac d{dt} \left(-\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} A\right) = -\dfrac9{5(300-t)^{13}}

Integrate both sides. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

\displaystyle -\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} A = -\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} A\bigg|_{t=0} - \frac95 \int_0^t \frac{du}{(300-u)^{13}}

\displaystyle -\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} A = -\dfrac{11}{300^{13}} - \frac95 \times \dfrac1{12} \left(\frac1{(300-t)^{12}} - \frac1{300^{12}}\right)

\displaystyle -\dfrac1{(300-t)^{13}} A = \dfrac{34}{300^{13}} - \frac3{20}\frac1{(300-t)^{12}}

\displaystyle A = \frac3{20} (300-t) - \dfrac{34}{300^{13}}(300-t)^{13}

\displaystyle A = 45 \left(1 - \frac t{300}\right) - 34 \left(1 - \frac t{300}\right)^{13}

After 1 hour = 60 minutes, the tank will contain

A(60) = 45 \left(1 - \dfrac {60}{300}\right) - 34 \left(1 - \dfrac {60}{300}\right)^{13} = 45\left(\dfrac45\right) - 34 \left(\dfrac45\right)^{13} \approx 34.131

pounds of salt.

reasoning: if you know that 9 x 20 = 180, how can you use this to find 9 x 24? explain your strategy.
Lostsunrise [7]
9 * 20 = 180

24 has 4 more than that, so multiply 9 to 4 and add it to 180.

9 * 4 = 36

180 + 36 = 216

So 9 * 24 = 216
