L.F. Richardson proposed a model to describe the spread of war fever. His proposal: If y(t) is the percent of the population adv

ocating war at time t, then the rate of change of y(t) at any time is proportional to the product of the percentage of the population advocating war and the percentage not advocating war. Set up a differential equation that is satisfied by y(t). (Note: Use k for the constant of proportionality with k > 0.)y' = ____________ , k > 0

Answer:

y'(t)=ky(t)(100-y(t))

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of y(t) at any time is the derivative of y with respect to time y, y'(t)

If y(t) is the percent of the population advocating war at time t

then 100-y(t)  is the percent of the population not advocating war

The product of the percentage of the population advocating war and the percentage not advocating war would be

y(t)(100-y(t))

If the rate of change of y(t) at any time is proportional to the product of the percentage of the population advocating war and the percentage not advocating war, then

y'(t)=ky(t)(100-y(t))

where <em>k is the constant of proportionality </em>

If Janet scored an 85% on her test she answered 34 questions correctly how many questions were on the test
Wittaler [7]
40 questions. You set up a proportion, mutiply 34 by a 100 and get 3400. Then you divide 3400 by 85 and you get ur answer. You could also try guessing by putting in random values you think are the whole number and multiplying them by 0.85. So if you guess 44 is the whole and try checking it by multiplying it by .85 and get a value thats higher than the value the percentage is equal to you try another smaller value. So if 44 doesn't work you can try 40. 40 times .85 is 34 so your answer of 40 questions is correct.

A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 17/3. What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

340 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the key thing here is to notice that we are given the circumference which will allow us to find a value for the radius of the circle and hence the angle subtended by the arc (the central angle).

So the circumference of a circle = 2pi(r)

This means:

6 = 2pi(r)

Which means that

r = 6/2pi or r = 3/pi

Now we can use this value of r to find our angle in conjunction with the value of the arc length. So:

Arc length is defined by: length = θr

Where θ is our angle value.

So lets plug in:

\frac{17}{3} = (angle)\frac{3}{\pi }

Multiply by pi to get:

\frac{17\pi }{3} = 3(angle)

Divide by 3 to get that:

θ = 17pi/9

So if we convert that from radians to degrees we get 340 degrees.
