Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 6000 students. Determine a differential equation

governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it. (Use k > 0 for the constant of proportionality and x for x(t).)

Answer:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x], x(0)=0, k>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Students =6000

Number of students who have contracted the flu =x(t)

Number of students who have not contracted the flu =6000- x(t)

Now, the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it.

\dfrac{dx(t)}{dt}\propto x(t)[6000-x(t)] \\$Introducing the constant of proportionality, k, we have:\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x]

Initially, the campus is uninfected, therefore: x(0)=0

Therefore, a differential equation governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu is:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x], x(0)=0, k>0

A reflection maps the point (2, 3) to the point (2, -3).
Tresset [83]

Answer:

x axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the x value stays the same. If you were to graph the line y=3 and y=-3, you would see that it is a reflection over the x axis.

Given circle P, which of the following options are major arcs?
MakcuM [25]

If your asking to select all that apply,

The formula is arc length = θ ( r ) {\displaystyle {\text{arc length}}=\theta (r)} , where equals the measurement of the arc's central angle in radians, and r {\displaystyle r} equals the length of the circle's radius. Plug the length of the circle's radius into the formula.

Paraphin [41]
<span>1) Find P(E1UE2)
E1 probability= 1/2</span>
<span>There are 26 red cards in a 52 card deck, so the probability of choosing a red card is = 26/52 = 1/2
E2 probability= 12/ 52 or 3/13</span>
<span>The face cards are: Jacks, Queens, and <span>Kings. There are four suits, so in each suit there are one jack, one queen and one king. The probability is 3 x 4= 12 divided by the total number of cards.

</span>the probability of drawing a white ball on the second drawn: 6/9 (because there is less one ball from the previous draw).
the probability of the cases together is 4/15 ( 4 /10 x 6/9) <span>since they are independent cases.</span>
