The equation is separable, so solving it is trivial:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ky\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}y=k\,\mathrm dt

Integrating both sides gives

\ln|y|=kt+C\implies y=e^{kt+C}=Ce^{kt}

Given y(0)=24 and y(1)=18, we find

24=C

18=Ce^k=24e^k\implies e^k=\dfrac34\implies k=ln\dfrac34

so the answer is E.

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = ky

1/y .dy = k .dt

ln(y) = kt + c

t = 0, y = 24

ln(24) = 0 + c

c = ln(24)

ln(y) = kt + ln(24)

t = 1, y = 18

ln(18) = k + ln(24)

k = ln(18) - ln(24)

k = ln(18/24) = ln(3/4)

I just need help. So, with this, since it’s 6.633 then would it just go back to 6.63 or to 6.60?
Brums [2.3K]
When you round, if the number you are rounding is more than 0, it will never be rounded down to 0. So 6.63 can never be rounded to 6.60 since 3 is more than 0.
In order to round the hundredths, you need to look at the thousandths. 
The thousandths in 6.633 is the second 3.
Since 3 is less than 5, the first 3 will remain the same.
The correct answer is 6.63

hope this helps =)
