Heart Pacemaker A heart pacemaker consists of a switch, a battery of constant voltage E0, a capacitor with constant capacitance C, and the heart as a resistor with constant resistance R. When the switch is closed, the capacitor charges; when the switch is open, the capacitor discharges, sending an electrical stimulus to the heart. During the time the heart is being stimulated, the voltage E across the heart satisfies the linear differential equation
Solve the DE, subject to E(4) = E0.

- Help me work through this problem.arrow_forward-t te dt.arrow_forwardNewborn blue whales are approximately 24 feet long and weigh 3 tons. Young whales are nursed for 7 months, and by the time of weaning they often are 58 feet long and weigh 19 tons. Let L and W denote the length (in feet) and the weight (in tons), respectively, of a whale that is t months of age. (a) If L and t are linearly related, express L in terms of t. (b) What is the daily increase in the length of a young whale? (Use 1 month = 30 days. Round your answer to three decimal places.) ________ ft/day (c)If W and t are linearly related, express W in terms of t. (d) What is the daily increase in the weight of a young whale? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) __________tons/dayarrow_forward
- Rewrite the statement in mathematical notation. (Let R be the annual revenue of your company, q be the annual sales, and t be time.) The annual revenue of the tie-dye T-shirt operation is currently $4,000 but is decreasing by $900 each year. How fast are annual sales changing? R = dR dt Rewrite the question in mathematical notation. Find dq/dy. Find dR/dy. Find dt/dy. Find dq/dt. Find dR/dt.arrow_forwardWhen drugs are administered into the bloodstream, the amount of the drug present decreases continuously at a constant rate. The amount of a certain drug, Xanaz, in the bloodstream is modeled by the function, where is the initial dosage, and t is the time (in hours) after the initial dose was given. The following chart shows the relationship between the original dose and how much is sti in the system after so much time. Xanax (3mg) amount still in system after X hours 2.5 1.5 0.5 2 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Number of hours after dose was taken After how many hours will there be approximately 1/2 of the original dose in the body? 3. 2. 1.

- Bacteria is being cultured in an agar plate. It was observed that the growth of bacteria is proportional to the bacterial population itself. In an experiment done between 12:00NN and 2:00PM, the population triples. At what time should the population be 100 times than it was at noontime?arrow_forwardEasy to read pleasearrow_forwardThe population P of a city is given by P = 80, 000e0.015t where t represents the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 2000. Use the model to predict the year in which the population of the city will reach 100,000.arrow_forward
- Need asap pls. Thanks.arrow_forwardFrom 1950 through 2005, the per capita consumption C of cigarettes by Americans (age 18 and older) can be modeled by C = 3565.0 + 60.30t − 1.783t2, 0 ≤ t ≤ 55, where t is the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 1950. In 2005, the U.S. population (age 18 and over) was 296,329,000. Of those, about 59,858,458 were smokers. What was the average annual cigarette consumption per smoker in 2005? What was the average daily cigarette consumption per smoker?arrow_forwardIn a study of a marine tubevorm, scientists developed a model for the time T (measured in years) required for the tubeworm to reach a length of L meters. On the basis of their model, they estimate that 170 to 250 years are required for the organism to reach a length of 2 meters, making this tubeworm the longest-lived noncolonial marine invertebrate known. The model is given below. 20ebl - 28 T= Here b is a positive constant that requires estimation. What is the value of b if an estimate of 180 years to reach a length of 2 meters is correct? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) b = What is the value of b if an estimate of 245 years to reach a length of 2 meters is correct? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forward
