Let N* be the total number of ranchers in Uruguay, and N(t) be the number of ranchers who have adopted an improved pasture techn

ology there. Assume that the rate of adoption, , is proportional to both the number who have adopted the technology and the fraction of the ranchers who have not (and so are susceptible to conversion). Let a be the proportionality constant.
a. Write down the differential equation modeling N(t).
b. According to Banks (1993), N* = 17000, N(0) = 170, a = 0.5 per year.

Determine how long it takes for the improved pasture technology to spread to 80% of the population of the ranchers.

Answer:

A) dN / dt = aN( N* - N ) /N*

B) 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

attached below is a detailed description of the solution

A) Write down the differential equation modelling N(t)

The differential equation of the modelling = dN / dt = aN( N* - N ) /N*

B) Determine how long it takes for improved pasture technology to spread to 80% of the population of the ranchers

firstly we will resolve the ODE and apply partial fractions, integrate and exponentiate before inputting the given data. attached below is a detailed solution

Solve the following system of equations:
Gnoma [55]
We have two equation with two unknowns. Therefore, we can solve the x and y easily. There are a number of methods to apply here but I will be using substitution method. We do as follows:

-2x + y = 1
y = 1 + 2x

4x + y = -1
4x + 1 + 2x = -1
6x = -1 -1
6x = -2
x = -1/3

y= 1 + 2(-1/3)
y = 1/3

The length of the hypotenuse in a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 6√10yd. What is the
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Long leg = 3√30 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the long leg to the hypotenuse = √3 to 2.

So (6√10) / x = 2 / √3

2x =  6√10√3

x = 3√10√3

x = 3√30

X +3/ 5 = 2 <br> i need help
DochEvi [55]

This equation basically says that a number plus 3/5 equals 2 so we can simply:

2 - 3/5 = x

Therefore x equals 1 & 2/5 or 1.4
