Answer: 0.0497870 ; 0.87754

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

λ = 0.0003

Defining a continuous distribution function :

F(x) = 1 - e^-λx = 1 - e^-0.0003x ; x ≥ 0

a. What proportion of the fans will last at least 10,000 hours?

P(x ≥ 10000) = e^-0.0003(10000) = 0.0497870

b. What proportion of the fans will last at most 7000 hours?

P(x ≥ 7000) = 1 - p(x ≤ 7000) = 1 - e^-0.0003(7000)

1 - 0.12245642825 = 0.87754

1. Correct answer is a (since when you are not given the n values, it is implied that the first value is 1).
3. Correct answer is a (a(n)=-3+4(1-1)=-3).
7. The pattern is to reduce the previous value by 4, thus the 12th term of the sequence is -24 (a(n)=20 - 4(n-1)=20 - 4(12-1)=-24).
8. Missing term is 26 (32+20=52; 52/2=26).
10. Pattern is 625/1=625; 625/5=125; 125/5=25; 25/5=5, thus. the 10th term is 1/3125 (answer a).

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

A 500-gallon tank initially contains 220 gallons of pure distilled water. Brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon flows int

Wittaler [7]

Answer: The amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes is 36.52 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt in the tank is modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation, which states:

(Salt mass rate per unit time to the tank) - (Salt mass per unit time from the tank) = (Salt accumulation rate of the tank)

Flow is measured as the product of salt concentration and flow. A well stirred mixture means that salt concentrations within tank and in the output mass flow are the same. Inflow salt concentration remains constant. Hence:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = \frac{d(V_{tank}(t) \cdot c(t))}{dt}$

By expanding the previous equation:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} \cdot c(t)$

The tank capacity and capacity rate of change given in gallons and gallons per minute are, respectivelly:

$V_{tank} = 220\\\frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} = 0$

Since there is no accumulation within the tank, expression is simplified to this:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt}$

By rearranging the expression, it is noticed the presence of a First-Order Non-Homogeneous Linear Ordinary Differential Equation:

$V_{tank} \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + f_{out} \cdot c(t) = c_0 \cdot f_{in}$ , where $c(0) = 0 \frac{pounds}{gallon}$ .

$\frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}} \cdot c(t) = \frac{c_0}{V_{tank}} \cdot f_{in}$

The solution of this equation is:

$c(t) = \frac{c_{0}}{f_{out}} \cdot ({1-e^{-\frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}}\cdot t }})$

The salt concentration after 8 minutes is:

$c(8) = 0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}$

The instantaneous amount of salt in the tank is:

$m_{salt} = (0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}) \cdot (220 gallons)\\m_{salt} = 36.52 pounds$
