Answer:

  • <u>Question 1:</u>      dm/dt=0.2m<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 2:</u>     m=Ae^{(0.2t)}<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 3:</u>      m=10e^{(0.2t)}<u />

<u />

  • <u>Question 4:</u>      m=10g<u />

Explanation:

<u>Question 1: Write down the differential equation the mass of the bacteria, m, satisfies: m′= .2m</u>

<u></u>

a) By definition:  m'=dm/dt

b)  Given:  rate=0.2m

c) By substitution:  dm/dt=0.2m

<u>Question 2: Find the general solution of this equation. Use A as a constant of integration.</u>

a) <u>Separate variables</u>

     dm/m=0.2dt

b)<u> Integrate</u>

           \int dm/m=\int 0.2dt

            ln(m)=0.2t+C

c) <u>Antilogarithm</u>

       m=e^{0.2t+C}

       m=e^{0.2t}\cdot e^C

         e^C=A\\\\m=Ae^{(0.2t)}

<u>Question 3. Which particular solution matches the additional information?</u>

<u></u>

Use the measured rate of 4 grams per hour after 3 hours

            t=3hours,dm/dt=4g/h

First, find the mass at t = 3 hours

            dm/dt=0.2m\\\\4=0.2m\\\\m=4/0.2\\\\m=20g

Now substitute in the general solution of the differential equation, to find A:

          m=Ae^{(0.2t)}\\\\20=Ae^{(0.2\times 3)}\\\\A=20/e^{(0.6)}\\\\A=10.976

Round A to 1 significant figure:

  • A = 10.

<u>Particular solution:</u>

           

             m=10e^{(0.2t)}

<u>Question 4. What was the mass of the bacteria at time =0?</u>

Substitute t = 0 in the equation of the particular solution:

         m=10e^{0}\\\\m=10g

Weighing about a ton on their 14th birthday, the average T-Rex grew 4.6 pounds per day from the age 14 to 18 years! Write a form
erica [24]

Answer:

The formula for this arithmetic sequence: a_{n}= 2000 + 4.6n

Step-by-step explanation:

As

  • weighing about a ton on their 14th birthday, weighing about a ton on their 14th birthday, the average T-Rex grew 4.6 pounds per day from the age 14 to 18 years.

Let the general term a_{n} of the arithmetic sequence represent the weight in tons of the T-Rex where n  is the number of days.

Therefore, the formula for this arithmetic sequence:

a_{n}= 2000 + 4.6n

Will a stand that can hold up to 40 pounds support a 21 kilogram television
shtirl [24]
If you would like to know if a stand will support a 21-kg television, you can find this using the following steps:

1 kilogram = <span>2.20462262 pounds
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

21 kilogram = 21 * 1 kilogram = 21 * 2.2 pounds = 46.2 pounds
46.2 pounds > 40 pounds

The correct result would be: No, the stand won't support a television.</span>

after flying at an altitude of 50 meters, a helicopter starts to descend when its ground distance from the landing pad is 11 kil
yarga [219]

Answer:

The angle of depression for the flight part is approximately 0.2604 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The given altitude at which the helicopter is flying = 50 meters

The horizontal distance of the helicopter from the helipad = 11 kilometers = 11,000 meters

The angle of depression = The angle of elevation = Arctan(Altitude/(Horizontal distance)

Therefore;

The angle of depression for the flight part = Arctan(50/(11,000)) ≈ 0.2604 degrees
