Refer to Example 4, involving the flow of saltwater through a flask. Will
Example 4: A One-Compartment Mixing Process
Consider a flask that contains
Solution:
Let
Next, we compute the rates at which salt enters and leaves the flask at time
The net rate of change of salt ( in grams per hour) at time
Hence, the desired differential equation is

- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardThe table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.arrow_forwardDoes the equation y=2.294e0.654t representcontinuous growth, continuous decay, or neither?Explain.arrow_forward
