Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water

is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate. Determine a differential equation for the amount of salt A(t) in the tank at time t > 0. What is A(0)? (Use A for A(t).)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.

Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.

Q(0) = 70 pounds

Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min

So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons

Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow

= 0 - \frac{Q(t)}{400}

i.e. \frac{dQ}{dt} =\frac{-Q(t)}{400}

This is a variable separable equation

\frac{dQ}{Q}=-\frac{dt}{400} \\ln Q = {-\frac{t}{400}} +C\\Q = A e^{-\frac{t}{400}}

Use when t =0 Q = 70

A =70

So A(t) = Q(t) = 70 e^{-\frac{t}{400}} and

A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.

What is the answer of this question?​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

116

Step-by-step explanation:

8.2 / 2 = 4.1

a = \sqrt{7^{2}-4.1^{2} } = 5.6736

0.5 x 8.2 x 5.6736 = 23.2618

23.2618 x 5 = 116.309 = 116

a young tree grows 6 cm per year. use the equation height = 6 cm x number of years to find how many years the tree would take to
AnnZ [28]
The tree grows 6cm per year and we need to find out how long it will take to grow 1 meter. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So:
6x = 100
x = 16.67
It will take 16.67 years (or one and two-thirds of a year) for the tree to reach 1 meter.

If f(x) = 3x - 7, then f-1(x)=
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so f-1(x) means we are finding the inverse

f(x) = 3x - 7.....change f(x) to y

y = 3x - 7.....now switch ur x and y and solve for y

x = 3y - 7....add 7 to both sides

x + 7 = 3y...divide both sides by 3

(x/3) + 7/3 = y....rearrange

y = (x/3) + 7/3....can also be written as : y = 1/3x + 7

now just change ur y to f-1(x)

f-1(x) = x/3 + 7/3.....or f-1(x) = 1/3x + 7/3
