A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 6 L/min into a large tank that initially held 200 L of a 0.5% nitric acid sol

ution. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 8 L/min. If the solution entering the tank is 20% nitric acid, determine the volume of nitric acid in the tank after t min. When will the percentage of nitric acid in the tank reach 10%?

Answer:

0.88 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid  measured in liters after t minute. Therefore the rate of change in the volume of nitric acid (dx / dt) is:

dx / dt = rate of input of nitric acid - rate of output of nitric acid

rate of input of nitric acid = 6 L/min * 20% nitric acid / 100% solution = 1.2 L/min

rate of output of nitric acid = 8 L/min * x L / 200 L = 0.04x L/min

\frac{dx}{dt}=1.2-0.04x\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}+0.04x=1.2 \\\\The\ integrating\ factor(IF)=e^{\int\limits {0.04} \, dt }=e^{0.04t}\\\\multiply\ through\ by \ IF:\\\\e^{0.04t} \frac{dx}{t}+e^{0.04dt}(0.04x)=e^{0.04t}(1.2)\\\\integrating:xe^{0.04t}=1.2\int\limits e^{0.04t}dt\\\\xe^{0.04t}=30e^{0.04t}+C\\\\x(t)=30+Ce^{-0.04t}\\\\At\ t=0,x=1\\\\x(0)=30+Ce^{-0.04*0}\\\\1=30+C\\\\C=-29\\\\x(t)=30-29e^{-0.04t}\\\\At \ 10\%,x=10%\ of\ 200L=2\\\\2=30-29e^{-0.04t}\\\\29e^{-0.04t}=28\\\\

29e^{-0.04t}=28\\\\e^{-0.04t}=0.9655\\\\t=0.88\ s

The percentage of nitric acid in the tank reach 10% at 0.88 s

Use two pints on the graph to find the slope:

(0,0) and (5,1)

Slope = Change in Y over the change in x.

Slope = (1-0) / (5-0) = 1/5 = 0.20

The slope of the given equation is 0.25 which is greater than 0.20.

The unit rate is greater in the equation.

3. Show that a circle with equation (x−2)^2+(y+3)^2=160 has two tangent lines with equations
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows each of the lines intersect the circle in exactly one place, so is tangent.

__

Each of the given lines is written in point-slope form. Each has a slope of 1/3. We will call the point in its equation the "reference point" of each line. For the first line, it is (6, -15); for the second line it is (-2, 9).

The center of the circle is (2, -3), so the slope from the center to the reference point of each line is ...

  line 1: (-15 -(-3))/(6 -2) = -12/4 = -3

  line 2: (9 -(-3))/(-2-2) = 12/-4 = -3

These slopes are the negative reciprocal of the slope of each of the lines, so a segment from the circle center to the reference point of each line is perpendicular to the line.

__

The reference point of line 1 (6, -15) is on the circle:

  (6 -2)^2 +(-15 +3)^2 = 16 +144 = 160

The reference point of line 2 (-2, 9) is on the circle:

  (-2-2)^2 +(9 +3)^2 = 16 +144 = 160

So, the reference point of each line is on the circle and that point is the endpoint of a segment from the circle center that is perpendicular to the line. Hence each of the lines is a tangent at its reference point.
