Answer: 5/9 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

2/6 + 2/9

3/9 + 2/9

5/9

2/6 + 2/9

Common denominator is 18.
2/6 * 3/3= 6/18

2/9 * 2/2 =4/18

6/18 + 4/18 = 10/18.

Divide top and bottom by 2. You get 5/9

4 (of whatever your mathematical unit is)

you times 4500 by 0.0575 and then divide 1035 by that number and then you get 4.

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current pop-ulation, and in the absence o

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The population of mosquitoes in the area at any time t is:

$P(t)=201977.31-1977.31\times 2^{t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of growth of mosquitoes can be expressed as:

$\frac{dP}{dt}=kP$

$\frac{dP}{P}=k\ dt$

Integrate the above expression as follows:

$\int {\frac{dP}{P}} \, =\int {k\ dt} \, \\\ln|P|=kt+c\\e^{\ln|P|}=e^{kt+c}\\P=Ce^{kt}$

$\Rightarrow P=P_{0}e^{kt}$

It is provided that the population doubles every day.

Compute the value of k as follows:

$2=1\times e^{k\times1}\\2=e^{k}\\k=\ln (2)$

It is also provided that every day 20,000 mosquitoes are eaten.

The rate of growth per week can be expressed as:

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\ln(2)P-14000\\\frac{dP}{dt}-\ln(2)P=14000$

The integrating factor for this is:

$e^{\int {\ln(2)dP}}=e^{\ln(2)\int {dt}}=e^{\ln(2)t}$

Then,

$P(t)\ e^{-\ln(2)t}=\int {e^{-\ln(2)t}}-14000\, dt\\=-14000\int {e^{-\ln(2)t}}\, dt\\=-14000\times \frac{e^{-\ln(2)t}}{-\ln(2)}+C\\P(t)=(e^{-\ln(2)t})\times [-14000\times \frac{e^{-\ln(2)t}}{-\ln(2)}+C]\\=\frac{14000}{\ln(2)}+Ce^{-\ln(2)t}$

The initial population is 200,000.

Compute the value of C as follows:

$P(t)=\frac{140000}{\ln(2)}+Ce^{-\ln(2)t}\\200000=\frac{14000}{\ln(2)}+Ce^{-\ln(2)(0)}\\C=200000-\frac{140000}{\ln(2)}\\C=-1977.31$

Now substitute C in P (t),

$P(t)=\frac{140000}{\ln(2)}+Ce^{\ln(2)t}\\P(t)=201977.31-1977.31\times 2^{t}$
