A tank initially has 300 gallons of a solution that contains 50 lb. of dissolved salt. A brine solution with a concentration of

2lb of salt/gallon is admitted into the tank at a rate of 6 gallons per minute. The well-stirred solution is drained at the same rate. How long will it take for the tank to have 100 lb. of dissolved salt

Let <em>s(t)</em> be the amount of salt in the tank at time <em>t</em>. Then <em>s(0)</em> = 50 lb.

Salt flows into the tank at a rate of

(2 gal/min) (6 lb/gal) = 12 lb/min

and flows out at a rate of

(2 gal/min) (<em>s(t)</em>/300 lb/gal) = <em>s(t)</em>/150 lb/min

so that the net rate at which salt is exchanged through the tank is

d<em>s(t)</em>/d<em>t</em> = 12 - <em>s(t)</em>/150 … (lb/min)

Solve for <em>s(t)</em>. The DE is separable, so we have

d<em>s</em>/d<em>t</em> = 12 - <em>s</em>/150

150 d<em>s</em>/d<em>t</em> = 1800 - <em>s</em>

150/(1800 - <em>s</em>) d<em>s</em> = d<em>t</em>

Integrate both sides to get

-150 ln|1800 - <em>s</em>| = <em>t</em> + <em>C</em>

Solve for <em>s</em> :

ln|1800 - <em>s</em>| = -<em>t</em>/150 + <em>C</em>

1800 - <em>s</em> = exp(-<em>t</em>/150 + <em>C </em>)

1800 - <em>s</em> = <em>C</em> exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

<em>s</em> = 1800 - <em>C</em> exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

Now given that <em>s(0)</em> = 50, we solve for <em>C</em> :

50 = 1800 - <em>C</em> exp(-0/150)

50 = 1800 - <em>C</em>

<em>C</em> = 1750

Then the amount of salt in the tank at any time <em>t</em> ≥ 0 is

<em>s(t)</em> = 1800 - 1750 exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

To find the time it takes for the tank to hold 100 lb of salt, solve for <em>t</em> in

100 = 1800 - 1750 exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

1700 = 1750 exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

34/35 = exp(-<em>t</em>/150)

ln(34/35) = -<em>t</em>/150

<em>t</em> = -150 ln(34/35) ≈ 4.348

So it would take approximately 4.348 minutes.

By the way, we didn't have to solve for <em>s(t)</em>, we could have instead stopped with

-150 ln|1800 - <em>s</em>| = <em>t</em> + <em>C</em>

Solve for <em>C</em> - this <em>C</em> <u>is not</u> the same as the one we found using the other method. <em>s(0)</em> = 50, so

-150 ln|1800 - 50| = 0 + <em>C</em>

<em>C</em> = -150 ln|1750|

==>   <em>t</em> = 150 ln(1750) - 150 ln|1800 - <em>s</em>|

Then <em>s(t)</em> = 100 lb when

<em>t</em> = 150 ln(1750) - 150 ln(1700)

<em>t</em> = 150 ln(1750/1700)

<em>t</em> = 150 ln(35/34)

<em>t</em> ≈ 4.348

Is this equation linear: 2x+5xy-3=0
Lina20 [59]

What is linear equation?

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

2x + 5xy - 3 = 0

x (2 + 5y) -3 = 0

x ( 2 + 5y ) = 3

2 + 5y = 3 / x

5y = (3/x) - 2

y = ( (3/x) - 2) / 5

According to the graph i don't think it's a linear equation.

What is the solution to log (9x)-log 3 = 3?
xeze [42]

Answer:

The solution x = \frac{e^{3} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

Given log(9 x) -log 3 =3

we have to use formula  log a-log b=log\frac{a}{b}

log(9 x)- log 3 = log(\frac{9 x}{3} ) =3

Again by using formula log a =b

                                       a = e^{b}

so \frac{9 x}{3} =e^{3}

<u>step 2:</u>-

   3 x = e^{3}

  x = \frac{e^{3} }{3}

The solution of given problem is x=\frac{e^3}{3}

Michael puts 3 beads next to each other
mihalych1998 [28]
When we multiply a whole number with a fraction, we can think of the whole numbers as "over one"...

5 3 5 15
3 * --- = --- * ---- = ----
6 1 6 6

We can further simplify the fraction, by dividing numerator and denominator by 3...

15 15 / 3 5
--- = ------- = ----
6 6 / 3 2

Since this is an improper fraction, we need to turn it into a mixed number...

5 2 + 2 + 1 2 2 1 1 1
---- = -------------- = --- + ---- + --- = 1 + 1 + ---- = 2 --- or 2.5
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
