The population of a certain species of insect is given by a differentiable function P, where P(t) is the number of insects in the population, in millions, at time t, where t is measured in days. When the environmental conditions are right, the population increases with resect to time at a rate that is directly proportional to the population. Starting August 15, the conditions were favorable and the. population began increasing. On August 20, five days later, there were an estimated 10 million insects and the population was increasing at a rate of 2 million insects per day.

What is the differential equation that models this situation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ \frac{1}{5}P[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Variation: Directly Proportional

Insects = 10 million when Rate = 2 million

i.e. [tex]P = 10\ million[/tex] when [tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = 2\ million[/tex]

Required

Determine the differential equation for the scenario

The variation can be represented as:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ \alpha\ P[/tex]

Which means that the rate at which the insects increase with time is directly proportional to the number of insects

Convert to equation

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ k * P[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ kP[/tex]

Substitute values for [tex]\frac{dP}{dt}[/tex] and P

[tex]2\ million = k * 10\ million[/tex]

Make k the subject

[tex]k = \frac{2\ million}{10\ million}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{2}{10}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] for k in [tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ k * P[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ \frac{1}{5}* P[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} \ =\ \frac{1}{5}P[/tex]

a. Use the Point-Slope form to find the equation of the line through the points (-5, 2) and (-2, 6).

b. Write the equation from part (a) above into the General as well as the slope-intercept form showing every step.

c. Find the x and y-intercepts of the equation above.

Answers

Answer:

a) y = 4/3x + 26/3

b) 4x - 3y + 26 = 0

c) x-int: (-6 1/2, 0)

   y-int: (0, 8 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) to get points into the point-slope form you first find the slope by taking the difference of the y-values over the difference of the x-values;

slope (m) = (6 - 2) / (-2 - -5)  =  4/3

plug 4/3 into 'm' and select one of the two points to plug in their 'x' and 'y' values so you can find 'b' (the y-intercept)

y = mx + b

6 = 4/3(-2) + b

6 = -8/3 + b

b = 6 + 8/3 = 18/3 + 8/3 or 26/3 (or 8.67)

so, put it all together to get the p-s form of y = 4/3x + 26/3

b) general equation is Ax + By + C = 0

take y = 4/3x + 26/3 and multiply each side by 3 to remove denominators

you get: 3y = 4x + 26;  rearrange to get 4x - 3y + 26 = 0

c) y-intercept is (0, 8 2/3); derived during step (a)

to get x-intercept, plug zero in for 'y' and solve for 'x':

0 = 4/3x + 26/3

-4/3x = 26/3

cross-multiply and get 12x = -78

x = -78/12 or -39/6 or -6 1/2

For each part, write the equation that represents the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and standard form (ax + by = c where a, b, and c are integers and a is not negative).

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that more than 30% of the owners in the sample pay for someone to walk their dog is option c. 0.561.

Calculation of the probability:

Since 31% of dog owners pay for someone to walk their dogs. Morgan asks a random sample of 50 dog

So

= P> ( 0.30 - 0.31) / √0.31 (1 - 0.31)/ 50

= P(z > - 0.1530)

= 0.5608

= 0.561

What are angles and dihedral angles? What is equation modelling? In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in the plane that contains the rays. Angles are also formed by the intersection of two planes. These are called dihedral angles.Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

Given is a 2 - D image as shown in the question.

It can be concluded that ∠PTV > ∠VPT. This is because the angle opposite to the larger side is greater.

Therefore,  ∠PTV > ∠VPT. This is because the angle opposite to the larger side is greater.

A birdwatcher on a cliff saw a eagle 70 feet above him. Earlier, he had spotted the eagle 30 feet above him. Which integer represents the eagle's change in altitude?

Answers

The integer that represents the altitude change is -40

How to determine the integer that represents the altitude change?

From the question, the positions of the eagle are

70 feet above him and 30 feet above him

Rewrite the positions of the eagle properly

This is done as follows

Position 1 =  70

Position 3 =  30

The expression of the altitude change in the position of the eagle is then calculated as

Change = Position 2 - Position 1

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

Change = 30 - 70

Evaluate

Change = -40

Hence, the altitude change is -40

Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods.Which of the following best explains how King's forms of protest built upon what Gandhi had done? King gave protesters an alternative to being arrested. King made Gandhi's model more confrontational. King taught people how to resist more passively than Gandhi. King required protesters to endure brutality unlike those of Gandhi. Which sequence of transformations can be used to show that triangle J is congruent to triangle P?
