Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 7000 students. Determine a differential equation

governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it. (Use k > 0 for the constant of proportionality and x for x(t).)

Answer:

The differential equation is  \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = k   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The number of students are n =  7000

      The number of student that have contracted the flu is  x(t)

The number of student that don't have the flu is mathematically represented as

      z = 7000 - x(t)

The rate at which the disease spread is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it, which can be mathematically represented as

         \frac{dx(t)}{dt} \ \ \ \alpha\ \ \   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

=>     \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = k   x(t) [7000 - x(t)]

Y = –8x + 8<br> y = –8x + 8
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x=0

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation

So let's solve

y=-8x+8..(1)

y=-8x+8...(2)

Add (1) and (2)

2y=16

Make y the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 2

y=8

Substitute the value for y into (2)

8=-8x+8

Collect like terms

8-8=-8x

0=-8x

Divide both sides by-8

x=0

Therefore x is 0 and y is 8

If you can help me it will mean a lot.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

y - -x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through (0, 2) and 5, 1) so it slope = (1-2) / (5-0)

= -1 and the y-intercept is  at y = 2 so the equation is

y - -x + 2.
