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 x.______________a0
velikii [3]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we find x, we need to set up this triangle a little more. We need to find the triangle's altitude before we can solve for x. We will use the heartbeat method to find the altitude.

Let altitude = y; solve for y:

\frac{2}{y}=\frac{y}{6}

y^2=12

y=\sqrt{12}

y=2\sqrt{3}

Now that we know the altitude, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (x).

a^2+b^2=c^2

2^2+(2\sqrt{3})^2=c^2

4+12=c^2

c^2=16

c=4

Since c and x are the same; c is just the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem.

x=4

Mell is twice as old as Jerry. If 16 is subtracted from Mell’s age and 16 is added to Jerry’s age, their ages will be equal. Wha
irga5000 [103]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = Jerry's age

Let M = Mary's age = 2J

 

M - 16 = J + 16

 

Substitute 2J for Mary's age

 

2J - 16 = J + 16

2J - J - 16 = 16

J = 16 + 16

J = 32

 

Jerry is 32.

Mary is twice as old as Jerry.

Mary is 2(32) = 64

Help please: A bus and a train leave a station at the same time, t = 0. The graph shows the bus's distance to the next station o
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

y = (5/2)x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bus and train are both at the station at time 0, the y-intercept for the new equation is 20. That is one point on the new graph: (0,20) The question said that the train travels faster, that means it spends less time getting to the next station. The existing graph shows the bus got to the next station in 10 minutes, so maybe the train got there in 8 minutes. So another point on the graph is (8,0) We can use a slope formula to calculate the slope of a new line. Or just count squares on the graph (se image) to find the slope. Slope tells how steep a line is, whether the line is going up or down, but also the slope is like directions how to get from one point to another point on the line.

All you need to write an equation is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b and fill those two numbers into the formula y=mx+b Here slope is 5/2 and y-intercept is 20. So you get

y=(5/2)x +20

I have the formula <br><br> A fraction • π r^2
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

22.2 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a sector is calculated as

A = area of circle × fraction of circle

  = πr² × \frac{50}{360}

  = π × 7.13² × \frac{5}{36}

  = \frac{7.13^2(5)\pi }{36} ≈ 22.2 ft² ( nearest tenth )
