A 250-gal tank is initially filled with brine (salt-water mixture) containing 100 lb of salt. Brine containing 3 lb of salt per

gallon enters the tank at the rate of 7 gal/s, and the well-mixed brine in the tank flows out at the rate of 9 gal/s. Find the amount x(t) of salt in the tank after 1 minute.

Answer:

x(t) = 581.66 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Consider the salt quantity in the tank at time t be x(t) lb.

∴ the rate of change of salt content in the tank is \dfrac{dx}{dt}= Rate \ of \  \ inflow - rate \ of \  \ outflow

where:

the rate of inflow = salt conc. × flow rate = 3 lb/gallon × 7 gallons

=21 lb/s

rate of outflow = salt conc. in the tank  × flow rate

= x/250 ×  9

= 9x/250  lb/s

∴

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 21 - \dfrac{9x}{250}

\dfrac{dx}{dt} + \dfrac{9x}{250}= 21

This is a 1st order linear differentiation,

The integrating factor if e^{^{ \int \dfrac{9}{250}\ dt}} = e^{^{ \dfrac{9t}{250} }}

∴

e^{^{ \dfrac{9t }{250}}} \ \ x(t) = \int 21 e^{\dfrac{9t}{250}} \ dt + C

e^{^{ \dfrac{9t }{250}}} \ \ x(t) =  21 \times \dfrac{250}{9}e^{\dfrac{9t}{250}} + C

x(t) = \dfrac{1750}{3}+Ce^{^{\dfrac{-9t}{250}}}     at  t = (0) and x(0) = 100 lb

Hence;

100 = \dfrac{1750}{3}+C

C = \dfrac{1750}{3} -100

C = - \dfrac{1450}{3}

∴x(t) = \dfrac{1750}{3}-\dfrac{1450}{100}e^{^{\dfrac{-9t}{250}}}

after time t = 1 minute i.e 60 s

x(t) = \dfrac{1750}{3}-\dfrac{1450}{100}e^{^{\dfrac{-9 \times 60}{250}}}

x(t) = \dfrac{1750}{3}-\dfrac{1450}{100}e^{^{\dfrac{-540}{250}}}

x(t) = 581.66 lb

Suppose you know a certain parabola has a vertex of (2, 1) and a y-intercept of 4. By symmetry, you can conclude that the parabo
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parabola with a vertex point of (2, 1) and a <em>y-</em>intercept of <em>y</em> = 4.

And we want to determine another point on the parabola.

Recall that a parabola is symmetric along the axis of symmetry, which is the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex.

Note that since the <em>y-</em>intercept of the parabola is <em>y</em> = 4, this means that a point on our parabola is (0, 4).

To get from (2, 1) to (0, 4), we move two units left and three units up.

Since the parabola is symmetric along axis of symmetry, another point on the parabola will be two units right and three units up. This yields (2 + 2, 1 + 3) or (4, 4).

Our answer is A.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Look Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A person would have to work 9 Hours to get 63$ for 7$ per hour.

2. Reese is 16 years old because if you do 34 - 18 = 16. Or you could do 16 + 18 = 34 to confirm it.

3. 10 - 4 = 6 Sean is 6 feet tall total because if you do a subtraction problem with the two variables you get 6.

4. I am not able to see the numbers on the right unfortunately so all you have to do for this one is to minus how much her brother has by 8 to get her amount.

Hope This Helps! Have A Good Day! Good Luck With Your Work!
