Answer: a.) Combine like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving equations that involve unknown variables, there are many steps to take to help one solve for the unknown variable. These steps include,

1.) combining like terms so that you can have similar terms on one side of the equation.

2.) Subtracting or adding A term that may be common to both side of the equation so you can be left with simpler terms to deal with

3.) diving or multiplying by a common factor to both sides of the equation so you can have a simpler equation to deal with.

Going by the above conditions and checking With the available options, combining like terms is the feasible step to take among the given options.

Write the differential equation model that fits the given description. (a) The rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

a) he rate of change of the volume of a snowball (due to melting) is proportional to the square of the volume at time t. Initially, the snowball has a volume of 900 cm3

$\frac{dV(t)}{dT} = A*V(t)^{2} \\$ and V(0) = 900 $cm^{3}$

where A is a real constant, it appears because it says that the change i volume (dV/dt) is "proportional" to $V(t)^{2}$ . Furthermore, we should assume that A is a negative number, because the volume of the snowball will decrease as the time pasese by.

(b) For an insect moving along some path, the velocity at time t is proportional to the square root of its position.

$\frac{dr(t)}{dt} = B*\sqrt{r(t)}$

Here again appears a constant B for the "proportional" part. And i wrote the velocity as $\frac{dr(t)}{dt}$ "the rate of change of the position with respect to te time".
