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}

Is a dilation an example of a rigid motion. Explain your response.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

This differs from non-rigid motion, like a dilation, where the size of the object can increase or decrease. When working with rigid motion, you will typically see two objects that show the transformation.

Wilma earns $9 per hour at her job. Then she spent $15 on a birthday gift for her best friend. Write an expression to represent
frozen [14]

Answer:

Wilma has $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know how many hours she worked, we know that Wilma earned 9x dollars at her job. Then she spends $15, so we can just subtract 15 from 9x.

9x-15

We can just replace the x with 3 to get:

27-15\\12

Hence, Wilma has $12.
