Answer:

$y=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is a 30-60-90 triangle. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the shortest leg equals $x$ , the hypotenuse equals $2x$ , and the longest leg equals $x\sqrt{3}$ .

We are given that the shortest leg equals $8$ , and we are solving for the hypotenuse length. If we apply the relationship that the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shortest leg, we get:

$y=2x$

$y=2(8)$

$y=16$

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the differential equation is

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 0.04P\left(1-\frac{P}{500}\right)$ .

We need to solve it and obtain an expression for $P(t)$ in order to complete the exercise.

First of all, this is an example of the logistic equation, which has the general form

$\frac{dP}{dt} = kP\left(1-\frac{P}{K}\right)$ .

In order to make the calculation easier we are going to solve the general equation, and later substitute the values of the constants, notice that $k=0.04$ and $K=500$ and the initial condition $P(0)=100$ .

Notice that this equation is separable, then

$\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = kdt$ .

Now, intagrating in both sides of the equation

$\int\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = \int kdt = kt +C$ .

In order to calculate the integral in the left hand side we make a partial fraction decomposition:

$\frac{1}{P(1-P/K)} = \frac{1}{P} - \frac{1}{K-P}$ .

So,

$\int\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = \ln|P| - \ln|K-P| = \ln\left| \frac{P}{K-P} \right| = -\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P} \right|$ .

We have obtained that:

$-\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right| = kt +C$

which is equivalent to

$\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right|= -kt -C$

Taking exponentials in both hands:

$\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right| = e^{-kt -C}$

Hence,

$\frac{K-P(t)}{P(t)} = Ae^{-kt}$ .

The next step is to substitute the given values in the statement of the problem:

$\frac{500-P(t)}{P(t)} = Ae^{-0.04t}$ .

We calculate the value of $A$ using the initial condition $P(0)=100$ , substituting $t=0$ :

$\frac{500-100}{100} = A}$ and $A=4$ .

So,

$\frac{500-P(t)}{P(t)} = 4e^{-0.04t}$ .

Finally, as we want the value of $t$ such that $P(t)=200$ , we substitute this last value into the above equation. Thus,

$\frac{500-200}{200} = 4e^{-0.04t}$ .

This is equivalent to $\frac{3}{8} = e^{-0.04t}$ . Taking logarithms we get $\ln\frac{3}{8} = -0.04t$ . Then,

$t = \frac{\ln\frac{3}{8}}{-0.04} \approx 24.520731325$ .

So, the population of rats will be 200 after 25 months.
