Answer:

Profit=4 lemons

Sp=20 lemons

Now,

Profit=SP-CP

4 =20-CP

CP=16 lemons

Again

Profit%=Profit/CP ×100 %

=4/16 × 100%

=25%

If a = b, then ac = bc. This is called the ________ ________ of equality. what is it?

aniked [119]

This is called the <u>Multiplication property of equality.</u>

The multiplication property of equality states that whatever you multiply on one side, you must multiply the same quantity on the other side of the equation. In this case, variable c is multiplied to both sides of the equation.

A tank contains 180 gallons of water and 15 oz of salt. water containing a salt concentration of 17(1+15sint) oz/gal flows into

Stels [109]

Let A(t) denote the amount of salt (in ounces, oz) in the tank at time t (in minutes, min).

Salt flows in at a rate of

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}_{\rm in} = \left(17 (1 + 15 \sin(t)) \dfrac{\rm oz}{\rm gal}\right) \left(8\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = 136 (1 + 15 \sin(t)) \dfrac{\rm oz}{\min}$

and flows out at a rate of

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}_{\rm out} = \left(\dfrac{A(t) \, \mathrm{oz}}{180 \,\mathrm{gal} + \left(8\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min} - 8\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) (t \, \mathrm{min})}\right) \left(8 \dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac{A(t)}{180} \dfrac{\rm oz}{\rm min}$

so that the net rate of change in the amount of salt in the tank is given by the linear differential equation

$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = \dfrac{dA}{dt}_{\rm in} - \dfrac{dA}{dt}_{\rm out} \iff \dfrac{dA}{dt} + \dfrac{A(t)}{180} = 136 (1 + 15 \sin(t))$

Multiply both sides by the integrating factor, $e^{t/180}$ , and rewrite the left side as the derivative of a product.

$e^{t/180} \dfrac{dA}{dt} + e^{t/180} \dfrac{A(t)}{180} = 136 e^{t/180} (1 + 15 \sin(t))$

$\dfrac d{dt}\left[e^{t/180} A(t)\right] = 136 e^{t/180} (1 + 15 \sin(t))$

Integrate both sides with respect to t (integrate the right side by parts):

$\displaystyle \int \frac d{dt}\left[e^{t/180} A(t)\right] \, dt = 136 \int e^{t/180} (1 + 15 \sin(t)) \, dt$

$\displaystyle e^{t/180} A(t) = \left(24,480 - \frac{66,096,000}{32,401} \cos(t) + \frac{367,200}{32,401} \sin(t)\right) e^{t/180} + C$

Solve for A(t) :

$\displaystyle A(t) = 24,480 - \frac{66,096,000}{32,401} \cos(t) + \frac{367,200}{32,401} \sin(t) + C e^{-t/180}$

The tank starts with A(0) = 15 oz of salt; use this to solve for the constant C.

$\displaystyle 15 = 24,480 - \frac{66,096,000}{32,401} + C \implies C = -\dfrac{726,594,465}{32,401}$

So,

$\displaystyle A(t) = 24,480 - \frac{66,096,000}{32,401} \cos(t) + \frac{367,200}{32,401} \sin(t) - \frac{726,594,465}{32,401} e^{-t/180}$

Recall the angle-sum identity for cosine:

$R \cos(x-\theta) = R \cos(\theta) \cos(x) + R \sin(\theta) \sin(x)$

so that we can condense the trigonometric terms in A(t). Solve for R and θ :

$R \cos(\theta) = -\dfrac{66,096,000}{32,401}$

$R \sin(\theta) = \dfrac{367,200}{32,401}$

Recall the Pythagorean identity and definition of tangent,

$\cos^2(x) + \sin^2(x) = 1$

$\tan(x) = \dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Then

$R^2 \cos^2(\theta) + R^2 \sin^2(\theta) = R^2 = \dfrac{134,835,840,000}{32,401} \implies R = \dfrac{367,200}{\sqrt{32,401}}$

and

$\dfrac{R \sin(\theta)}{R \cos(\theta)} = \tan(\theta) = -\dfrac{367,200}{66,096,000} = -\dfrac1{180} \\\\ \implies \theta = -\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac1{180}\right) = -\cot^{-1}(180)$

so we can rewrite A(t) as

$\displaystyle A(t) = 24,480 + \frac{367,200}{\sqrt{32,401}} \cos\left(t + \cot^{-1}(180)\right) - \frac{726,594,465}{32,401} e^{-t/180}$

As t goes to infinity, the exponential term will converge to zero. Meanwhile the cosine term will oscillate between -1 and 1, so that A(t) will oscillate about the constant level of 24,480 oz between the extreme values of

$24,480 - \dfrac{267,200}{\sqrt{32,401}} \approx 22,995.6 \,\mathrm{oz}$
