Answer:

let's say cells is c and hours are x that means there are 15 cells each hour. the equation for that is c=15x

after 08 hours the cells have multiplied 8 times their original size. meaning that the equation changes to this: c=15x          x=8    c= 15(8)

x equals 8 at that time.. literally

ok the cells have multiplied and now there are 120 cells in total

then after one day the cells have multiplied over 12 times afterwards. now x equals 24. the equation would look a little like this:

c=15x      x=24    c= 15(24)

there are 360 cells now.

Explain in your own words the relationship between x=8 with x=24 in the equation.

The sum of a number and 20 is no more than the sum of the square of the number and 9.
aniked [119]

A is the correct answer.

break down the word problem.

You also have to recognize key words which figure into mathematical symbols.

ex. sum of a number and 20 is x+20

square of the number and 9 is (x+9)^2

A tank initially has 300 gallons of a solution that contains 50 lb. of dissolved salt. A brine solution with a concentration of
belka [17]

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
