A rumor spreads through a small town. Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume t

hat the rate at which the rumor spreads is proportional to the product of the fraction y of the population that has heard the rumor and the fraction 1−y that has not yet heard the rumor.
a. Write the differential equation satisfied by y in terms of proportionality k.
b. Find k (in units of day−1, assuming that 10% of the population knows the rumor at time t=0 and 40% knows it at time t=2 days.
c. Using the assumptions in part (b), determine when 75% of the population will know the rumor.
d. Plot the direction field for the differential equation and draw the curve that fits the solution y(0)=0.1 and y(0)=0.5.

Answer:

The answer is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume that the rate at which the rumor spreads is proportional to the product of the fraction y of the population that has heard the rumor and the fraction 1−y that has not yet heard the rumor.

a)

\frac{dy}{dt}\ \alpha\  y(1-y)

\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)

where k is the constant of proportionality, dy/dt =  rate at which the rumor spreads

b)

\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)\\\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}=kdt\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}} \, =\int\limit {kdt}\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y}} +\int\limits {\frac{dy}{1-y}}  =\int\limit {kdt}\\\\ln(y)-ln(1-y)=kt+c\\ln(\frac{y}{1-y}) =kt+c\\taking \ exponential \ of\ both \ sides\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt+c}\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt}e^c\\let\ A=e^c\\\frac{y}{1-y} =Ae^{kt}\\y=(1-y)Ae^{kt}\\y=\frac{Ae^{kt}}{1+Ae^{kt}} \\at \ t=0,y=10\%\\0.1=\frac{Ae^{k*0}}{1+Ae^{k*0}} \\0.1=\frac{A}{1+A} \\A=\frac{1}{9} \\

y=\frac{\frac{1}{9} e^{kt}}{1+\frac{1}{9} e^{kt}}\\y=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-kt}}

At t = 2, y = 40% = 0.4

c) At y = 75% = 0.75

y=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-0.8959t}}\\0.75=\frac{1}{1+9e^{-0.8959t}}\\t=3.68\ days

(2x+6)/10 = (x+6)/8
10(x+6) = 8(2x+6)
10x + 60 = 16x  + 48
6x = 12
x = 2

so
AE = 2(2) +6
AE = 4 + 6
AE = 10

Christel wants to know what the most popular color at her school is. She surveys students grades 1,2,3.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

It will be biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

By surveying only grades 1, 2, and 3, she is not taking a representation of the entire school. It is possible that the popular color or the color the students like would change over time and the opinion of the younger kids could be different from that of the older kids. Therefore, the sample is biased unless she surveys students from all grades.

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.1)) multiply 7 by 8, then divide f by the resultDo not simpli
nignag [31]

We need to write an expression for the operations:

\begin{gathered} \text{ multiply 7 by 8} \\  \\ \text{dived f by the result} \end{gathered}

The first operation (multiplication) can be represented as:

7\cdot8

The second operation (the division of f by the previous result) can be represented as:

f\div(7\cdot8)

Notice that we need the parenthesis to indicate that the product is the first operation to be done.

Answer:

f\div(7\cdot8)
