Answer:

12 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hits needed

1 hit equals an at-bat.

(45+x)hits / (130+x)at-bats = 0.4

(45+x) = 0.4(130+x)

45 + x = 52 + 0.4x

45 - 52 = 0.4x - x

-7 = -0.6x

x = -7/-0.6

x = 11.667

x = 12(approximately)

12 hits are necessary since there are no fraction of hits

For the differential equation dy/dt=ky, k is a constant, y(0)=24, and y(1)=18. What is the value of k?
Gre4nikov [31]

The equation is separable, so solving it is trivial:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ky\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}y=k\,\mathrm dt

Integrating both sides gives

\ln|y|=kt+C\implies y=e^{kt+C}=Ce^{kt}

Given y(0)=24 and y(1)=18, we find

24=C

18=Ce^k=24e^k\implies e^k=\dfrac34\implies k=ln\dfrac34

so the answer is E.
