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

Find the values of X and Y using the PARALLELOGRAM.
Tema [17]

Answer:

x = 11

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal.

8x = 88

x = 88/8

x = 11

4y - 7 = y + 2

4y      = y + 2 + 7

    4y = y + 9

4y - y = 9

       3y =  9

         y = 9/3

        y = 3

how much money will you have in 10 years if you invest $12,000 at a 3.3% annual rate of interest compounded quarterly?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The amount is $16718.7 and the interest is $4718.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: To find amount we use formula:

A=P(1+rn)n⋅t

A = total amount

P = principal or amount of money deposited,

r = annual interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time in years

In this example we have

P=$12000 , r=3.33% , n=4 and t=10 years

After plugging the given information we have

AAAA=12000(1+0.03334)4⋅10=12000⋅1.00832540=12000⋅1.393225=16718.7

STEP 2: To find interest we use formula A=P+I, since A=16718.7 and P = 12000 we have:

A16718.7II=P+I=12000+I=16718.7−12000=4718.7

Need help with finding the surface area and volume for this please thanks I just need step by step help so I can understand it m
Allisa [31]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

First, do the top and bottom. The top is 2*4*3 or 24, and the bottom is 6*4 or 24.

Now, do the sides. It is a staircase that you can split into 6 2x2 blocks, or 6*4=24. Do the same with the other side to get 24 again.

Now for the front and back. This is 2*4*3 and 6*4 again, or 24 and 24.

Now you have 6 24's so just multiply these and get 144.

Revenue
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  small business assumes that the demand function for one of its new products can be modeled by

p=ce^{kx}

Substitute  the given values for p and x to get two equations in c and k

40 = ce^{1200k} \\45 = ce^{1000k}

Dividing on by other we get

\frac{45}{40} =e^{-200k} \\-200 k = ln (45/40) = 0.117583\\k = -0.000589

Substitute value of k in any one equation

45 = ce^{-0.589} \\c=45.02651

b) Revenue of the product is demand and price

i.e. R(x) = p*x = 45.02651xe^{-0.000589x}

Use Calculus derivative test to find max Revenue

R'(x) = 45.02651 e^{-0.000589x}-45.02651*0.000589 x e^{-0.000589x}\\

EquateI derivative to 0

1-0.000589x =0

x = 1698.037

When x = 1698 and p = 16.56469
