A tank initially contains a solution of 10 pounds of salt in 60 gallons of water. Water with 1/2 pound of salt per gallon is add

ed to the tank at 6 gal/min, and the resulting solution leaves at the same rate. Find the quantity Q(t) of salt in the tank at time t > 0.

Salt flows into the tank at a rate of

(1/2 lb/gal) * (6 gal/min) = 3 lb/min

and flows out at a rate of

(Q(t)/60 lb/gal) * (6 gal/min) = 6Q(t) lb/min

The net rate of change of the amount of salt in the tank at time t is then governed by

\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}=3-6Q

Solve for Q:

\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}+6Q=3

e^{6t}\dfrac{\mathrm dQ}{\mathrm dt}+6e^{6t}Q=3e^{6t}

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}[e^{6t}Q]=3e^{6t}

e^{6t}Q=\dfrac{e^{6t}}2+C

\implies Q=\dfrac12+Ce^{-6t}

The tank starts with 10 lb of salt, so that Q(0) = 10. This gives us

10=\dfrac12+C\implies C=\dfrac{19}2

so that the amount of salt in the tank at time t is given by

\boxed{Q(t)=\dfrac{1+19e^{-6t}}2}

Three hikers are dividing the costs of a hiking trip evenly. They bought two permits that cost $15 each, three tram tickets that
cestrela7 [59]

Each hiker owes $41 or 4100 cents for the hiking trip.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Cost of each permit is $15. So, the cost of <u>two permits</u> will be: (\$15*2)= \$30

Cost of each tram ticket is $19. So, the cost of <u>three tickets</u> will be: (\$19*3)=\$ 57

Cost of <u>one can</u> of bear spray is $36.

So, the total cost of the hiking trip =\$30+\$57+\$36=\$123

As the <u>three hikers</u> are dividing the total costs of the trip <u>evenly</u>, so each hiker owes =\frac{\$123}{3}=\$41 or 4100 cents.

The value of a and b
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Both a and b would both equal 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that a and 135 create a straight line. Since a straight line has 180 degrees, we can create an equation to solve for a.

135 + a = 180

a = 45

Now that we know a is equal to 45, we can tell that b is also equal to that amount. This is because two parallel lines cut by a transversal creates the same angle.
