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}

Find the remainder when f(x) = x3 − 14x2 + 7x − 10 is divided by x − 3. 184 164 −88 −122
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

122

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we must build a quotient that, when multiplied by the divisor, eliminates the terms of the divide until it reaches the remainder.

It must be fulfilled that:

Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder

we have that the remainder is 122.
