The rate at which a duck gains weight is proportional to the difference between its adult weight and its current weight. At time

t=0, when the duck is first weighed, it's weight is 20 grams. If B(t) is the weight of the duck, in grams, at time t days after it is first weighed, then "dB/dt = 1/5(100-B)". Let y=B(t) be the solution to the differential equation above with the initial condition B(0) =20.
Is the duck gaining weight faster when it weighs 40 grams or when it weighs 70 grams? Explain your reasoning.

DB/dt = 1/5(100 - B)
5/(100 - B) dB = dt
-5 ln (100 - B) = t + C
Since B(0) = 20, then
-5 ln (100 - 20) = C
i.e. C = -5 ln 80

Thus -5 ln (100 - B) = t - 5 ln 80
or t = 5 ln 80 - 5 ln (100 - B) = 5 ln (80 / (100 - B))

When the weight = 40 grams
t = 5 In (80 / 100 - 40) = 5 In (80 / 60) = 5 ln (4/3) = 1.438 days
Rate of weight gain = 40 / 1.438 = 27.8 grams per day

When the weight = 70 grams
t = 5 ln (80 / 100 - 70) = 5 ln (80 / 30) = 5 ln (8/3) = 4.9 days
Rate of weight gain = 70/4.9 = 14.27 grams per day.

Therefore, the duck gains weight faster when it weighs 40 grams.

Victor plants 56 seeds in some flower pots if he puts 7 seeds in each pot how many flower pots does he have
Papessa [141]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The total seeds Victor plants in the flower pots=56

He puts 7 seeds in each pot.

So to find the number of pots;

You need to divide the total seeds(56) by the seeds put in each(7)

So it's going to be;

56÷7

=8

Therefore the total number of flower pots is 8.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the length of diagonal XT, we can use the distance formula to get \sqrt{(-3-5)^{2}+(4-(-2))^{2}}=10

Since this is a rectangle, XT=YW, meaning YW=10 as well.

b) The area of a rectangle is given by length times width. The length is |-3-5|=8, and the width is |-2-4|=6. So the area is (8)(6)=48.

c) The perimeter is just 2(8+6)=28.

Which of the following expressions is not equivalent to -4.5 • -8?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer: (8)(-4.5)

Step-by-step explanation: If you were to multiply -4.5 • -8 it would be a positive number but if you multiply (8)(-4.5) that would equal a negative number

a. Determine all bijections from the {1,2,3} into {a,b,c}. b. Determine all bijections from {1, 2, 3} into {a,b,c,d}.
avanturin [10]

Part A

There are 6 bijections from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c}. This is effectively the same as asking the question "how many ways are there to arrange {a,b,c} where order matters?" We use a factorial to answer this question.

3 factorial = 3! = 3*2*1 = 6

You can also use a permutation, which is composed of factorials, to get the same answer.

======================================================

Part B

There are no bijections from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c,d}. Why is this? Because a bijection has two properties: it must be one-to-one, and it must be onto. The term "onto" in mathematics means "every value in the range is targeted". In the case of the range {a,b,c,d} it is not possible for each value to show up. This is because there are only three items in the domain {1,2,3}. You'll always be one letter short.

As you can probably guess, a bijection is only possible if and only if n(D) = n(R), where D and R are the domain and range respectively. The notation n(D) represents the count or number of items in set D.
