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

Need help with this one as well I would be very grateful please need help !

You are given two x and y pairs: (100,45) and (570,162.5)
First solve for the slope, m.

m = (162.5 - 45) / (570 - 100)
m = 117.5 / 470
m = 0.25

Not only is "m" the slope but it is the rate (dollars per minute) in the question. So it's 25 cents per minute to use the phone.
After imputing "m"  the linear equation looks like this:
y = 0.25x + b

Use either point as (x,y) to solve for the y-intercept "b". I'll use (100,45)

45 = 0.25(100) + b
45 = 25 + b
45 - 25 = b
20 = b

Not only is "b" the y-intercept but it is also always the flat fee added on to linearly increasing cost questions like this.

Final equation is:
y = 0.25x + 20

Part B.) If 939 minutes are used. Just put that in for x and solve for y.

y = 0.25(939) + 20
y = 234.75 + 20
y = 254.75
