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)]

Simplify using the distributive property. 5 Marks<br> 1/5(4m+20)<br><br> 9(5/9 y-1/3)
Zarrin [17]

Answer+Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{5} \left( 4m+20\right)  =\frac{4}{5}m + \frac{20}{5} = \frac{4}{5}m + 4

9\left( \frac{5}{4} y-\frac{1}{3} \right)  =\frac{9\times5}{9} y-\frac{9}{3} = 5y - 3

3(x+y)=y if (x y) is a solution to the equation above and y=0 what is the ratio x/y
Alona [7]
The equation can be rewritten as x = -2/3 y, so x/y = -2/3
However, for y=0, the ratio is undefined as you would be dividing by 0??

Surface area of a box 12 x 6 x 9.5
Ber [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  486 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the surface area formula with the given numbers.

  SA = 2(LW +H(L +W))

  SA = 2(12·6 +9.5(12 +6)) = 2(72 +9.5(18)) = 486

The surface area of the box is 486 square units.

Three angles of a quadrilateral are 75°, 90° and 75°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
Sergio039 [100]

the inside of quadrilateral is always 360°.So add 75°,90° and 75° and then subyaract from360°.

x+75°+75°+90°=360

×+240°=360°

x=360°-240°

x=120°
