<h3>Given</h3>

p'(t) = kp²

p(0) = 12; p(10) = 24

<h3>Find</h3>

a) p(t)

b) t such that p(t) = 48

c) the behavior of p(t) after the time of part b

<h3>Solution</h3>

a) The differential equation is separable, so can be solved by separating the variables and integrating.

\displaystyle\frac{d}{dt}p(t)=k\cdot p(t)^{2}\\\\\int{p^{-2}}\,dp=\int{k}\,dt\\\\-p^{-1}=kt+C\\\\p=\frac{-1}{kt+C}

Plugging in the given boundary conditions, we can solve for k and C to find

p(t)=\dfrac{240}{20-t}

b) The population doubles when the time to t=20 is cut in half. The first doubling occurred in 10 years; the second one will occur in half that time, 5 years. There will be 48 alligators in the swamp in 2003.

c) The population doubles again in half the time of the previous doubling, so is predicted to be infinite in 2008.

A diagonal of a parallelogram is 20 inches long and makes angles of 17° and 49° with the sides. How long is the longest side?
stiv31 [10]
Angles of the parallelogram which is given in the problem are:α = 49° + 17 °= 66°

β = 180° - 66° = 114°

x - length of the longest side of the parallelogram;

Use the Sine Law:x / sin 49° = 20/ sin 17°

x / 0.7547 = 20 / 0.2924

0.2924 x = 15.094

x = 15.094 : .2924

x = 51.62 is the longest side of the parallelogram.

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation (x + 3)2 = 49? A. O x = 2 and x = - 10 B.O.x = 4 and x = -10 C.O x=-2 and x = -
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

B. x = 4 and x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, expand the equation

(x + 3)² = 49

(x + 3)(x + 3) = 49

x² + 6x + 9 = 49

Subtract 49 from both sides

x² + 6x -40 = 0

Factor

(x + 10)(x - 4) = 0

Solve

x + 10 = 0

x = -10

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

So, the correct answer is B. x = 4 and x = -10

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC is proportional to triangle BCD so

hypothenuse of ABC/ ajdacent of ABC = hypotrnus BCD/ ajdacent of BCD

in short

AC/BC = BC/DC

10/x = x/3

10 . 3 = x²

x² = 30

x = √30

so the question mark is 30
