TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING Suppose we start with 9 milligrams of pollutant per liter of water, as in the example. Assume that the cleaning process decreases the concentration of pollutant by 30 each hour. What is the pollutant concentration after each of the first 3 hours? EXAMPLE 1.9 PURIFYING WATER Water that is initially contaminated with a concentration of 9 milligrams of pollutant per liter of water is subjected to a cleaning process. The cleaning process is able to reduce the pollutant concentration by 25 each hour. Let C=C(t) denote the concentration, in milligrams per liter, of pollutant in the water r hours after the purification process begins. Part 1 What is the concentration of pollutant in the water after 3 hours? Part2 Compare the results predicted by the verbal description at the end of each of the first 3 hours with those given by the formula C=90.75t. Part 3 The formula given in part 2 is, in fact, the correct one. Use it to find the concentration of pollutant after 414 hours of cleaning.
Maximum Sales Growth This is a continuation of Exercise 10. In this exercise, we determine how the sales level that gives the maximum growth rate is related to the limit on sales. Assume, as above, that the constant of proportionality is 0.3, but now suppose that sales grow to a level of 4 thousand dollars in the limit. a. Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. b. On the basis of the equation from part a, make a graph of G as a function of s. c. At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? d. Replace the limit of 4 thousand dollars with another number, and find at what sales level the growth rate is as large as possible. What is the relationship between the limit and the sales level that gives the largest growth rate? Does this relationship change if the proportionality constant is changed? e. Use your answers in part d to explain how to determine the limit if we are given sales data showing the sales up to a point where the growth rate begins to decrease.
Think About It Describe the relationship betweenthe rate of change of y and the rate of change of x ineach expression. Assume all variables and derivativesare positive. (a) $\frac{d y}{d t}=3 \frac{d x}{d t}$(b) $\frac{d y}{d t}=x(L-x) \frac{d x}{d t}, \quad 0 \leq x \leq L$
Differential equations application A paratrooper weighing 180 pounds (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 5000 feet and open the parachute after 10 seconds of freefall. Assume that the resistance force of the air is 0.75v when the parachute is closed and 12v when the parachute is open, where the velocity v it is measured in feet / sec. to. d. Determine how long the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens. and. Plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver arrives down (Forwarded question to solve last point d and graph)
