Front end estimation for this question would be to the nearest hundred. So 125 rounded to the nearest hundred is 100, 123 to the nearest hundred is 100, 392 to the nearest hundred is 400, and 294 to the nearest hundred is 300. Adding 100 + 100 + 400 + 300 would be 900.

Answer:

$A=1500-1450e^{-\dfrac{t}{250}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The large mixing tank initially holds 500 gallons of water in which 50 pounds of salt have been dissolved.

Volume = 500 gallons

Initial Amount of Salt, A(0)=50 pounds

Brine solution with concentration of 2 lb/gal is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min

$R_{in}$ =(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)

$=(2\frac{lbs}{gal})( 3\frac{gal}{min})\\R_{in}=6\frac{lbs}{min}$

When the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at a slower rate of 2 gal/min.

Concentration c(t) of the salt in the tank at time t

Concentration, $C(t)=\dfrac{Amount}{Volume}=\dfrac{A(t)}{500}$

$R_{out}$ =(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)

$=(\frac{A(t)}{500})( 2\frac{gal}{min})\\R_{out}=\dfrac{A}{250}$

Now, the rate of change of the amount of salt in the tank

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}=R_{in}-R_{out}$

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}=6-\dfrac{A}{250}$

We solve the resulting differential equation by separation of variables.

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}+\dfrac{A}{250}=6\\$The integrating factor: e^{\int \frac{1}{250}dt} =e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\$Multiplying by the integrating factor all through\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}e^{\frac{t}{250}}+\dfrac{A}{250}e^{\frac{t}{250}}=6e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\(Ae^{\frac{t}{250}})'=6e^{\frac{t}{250}}$

Taking the integral of both sides

$\int(Ae^{\frac{t}{250}})'=\int 6e^{\frac{t}{250}} dt\\Ae^{\frac{t}{250}}=6*250e^{\frac{t}{250}}+C, $(C a constant of integration)\\Ae^{\frac{t}{250}}=1500e^{\frac{t}{250}}+C\\$Divide all through by e^{\frac{t}{250}}\\A(t)=1500+Ce^{-\frac{t}{250}}$

Recall that when t=0, A(t)=50 (our initial condition)

$50=1500+Ce^{-\frac{0}{250}}50=1500+Ce^{0}\\C=-1450\\$Therefore the amount of salt in the tank at any time t is:\\A=1500-1450e^{-\dfrac{t}{250}}$
