A large corporation starts at time t = 0 to invest part of its receipts continuously at a rate of P dollars per year in a fund f

or future corporate expansion. Assume that the fund earns r percent interest per year compounded continuously. So, the rate of growth of the amount A in the fund is given by dA/dt = rA + P where A = O when t = 0. Solve this differential equation for A as a function of t.

Answer:

A = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is <em>a separable differential equation</em>. Rearranging terms in the equation gives

                                                \frac{dA}{rA+P} = dt

Integration on both sides gives

                                            \int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \int  dt

where c is a constant of integration.

The steps for solving the integral on the right hand side are presented below.

                               \int \frac{dA}{rA+P} = \begin{vmatrix} rA+P = m \implies rdA = dm\end{vmatrix} \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \int \frac{1}{m} \frac{1}{r} \, dm \\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \int \frac{1}{m} \, dm\\\\\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |m| + c \\\\&\phantom{\int \frac{dA}{rA+P} } = \frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| +c

Therefore,

                                        \frac{1}{r} \ln |rA+P| = t+c

Multiply both sides by r.

                               \ln |rA+P| = rt+c_1, \quad c_1 := rc

By taking exponents, we obtain

      e^{\ln |rA+P|} = e^{rt+c_1} \implies  |rA+P| = e^{rt} \cdot e^{c_1} rA+P = Ce^{rt}, \quad C:= \pm e^{c_1}

Isolate A.

                 rA+P = Ce^{rt} \implies rA = Ce^{rt} - P \implies A = \frac{C}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r}

Since A = 0  when t=0, we obtain an initial condition A(0) = 0.

We can use it to find the numeric value of the constant c.

Substituting 0 for A and t in the equation gives

                         0 = \frac{C}{r}e^{0} - \frac{P}{r} \implies \frac{P}{r} = \frac{C}{r} \implies C=P

Therefore, the solution of the given differential equation is

                                   A = \frac{P}{r}e^{rt} - \frac{P}{r} = \frac{P}{r}\left( e^{rt} -1 \right)

If the measure of an acute angle is represented by x, then the measure of its complement
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

always true

Step-by-step explanation:

complement equals that angle plus another one adds to 90. If you know that it's less than 90 degrees, then you subtract it from 90 to get the other angle which is the complement. Hope this helps!

Solve the following system of equations graphically on the set of axes below. y=3x−3 , x+y=5
topjm [15]

Answer:

x=2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, graph both equations on a rectangular coordinate system (see attached screenshot). Then, simply figure out where these two lines intersect. Since they intersect at (2,3), x=2 and y=3.

Plugging these values in the equations for x and y, you can see if these are the correct answers:

(3)=3(2)-3, (2)+(3)=5

Since both of these are true, you have the right answer.

Hope this helps!
