Assignment 4

course Mth 272

this is the end of chapter 4. and from comments from the last assignment, I have looked at through the textbook to relearn the Chain Rule and other issues to prepare me for Chapter 5. Thanks!

4.6.06 (was 4.5.06) y = C e^(kt) thru (3,.5) and (4,5)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.5= e^ (3t) 5 = C e^(4t)

5/.5 = e^ (4t) / e^ (3t)

5/.5 = 10

.................................................

** Substituting the coordinates of the first and second points into the form y = C e^(k t) we obtain the equations

.5 = C e^(3*k)and

5 = Ce^(4k) .

Dividing the second equation by the first we get

5 / .5 = C e^(4k) / [ C e^(3k) ] or

10 = e^k so

k = 2.3, approx. (i.e., k = ln(10) )

Thus .5 = C e^(2.3 * 3)

.5 = C e^(6.9)

C = .5 / e^(6.9) = .0005, approx.

The model is thus close to y =.0005 e^(2.3 t). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

10 = e*k i still have to solve the other side of the equation as well.

inverse would be ln 10 = k hence 2.3 evaluated.

then substitute back into the equation:

.5 = c e^ (2.3*3)

hence .005

so y = .005 e^ (2.3t)

4.6.10 (was 4.5.10) solve dy/dt = 5.2 y if y=18 when t=0

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

dy/y = 5.2dt --> ln y = 5.3 t + C

e^ln y = e^ (5.2t + c)

y = e ^ (5.2t +c) .... dy/ dt = 5.2y

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:23:25

** The details of the process:

dy/dt = 5.2y. Divide both sides by y to get

dy/y = 5.2 dt. This is the same as

(1/y)dy = 5.2dt. Integrate the left side with respect to y and the right with respect to t:

ln | y | = 5.2t +C. Therefore

e^(ln y) = e^(5.2 t + c) so

y = e^(5.2 t + c). This is the general function which satisfies dy/dt = 5.2 y.

Now e^(a+b) = e^a * e^b so

y = e^c e^(5.2 t). e^c can be any positive number so we say e^c = A, A > 0.

y = A e^(5.2 t). This is the general function which satisfies dy/dt = 5.2 y.

When t=0, y = 18 so

18 = A e^0. e^0 is 1 so

A = 18. The function is therefore

y = 18 e^(5.2 t). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

that was the explanation so then to solve

18 = A e^0 .. y = 18 e^(5.2 t)

4.6.25 (was 4.5.25) init investment $750, rate 10.5%, find doubling time, 10-yr amt, 25-yr amt) New problem is init investment $1000, rate 12%.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

to find the doubling time :

750 e^.105 t = 2(750) hence e^.105t = 2 or .105t = ln2 in turn 6.9 years.

10 yrs: 750 e^.105(10) = $2143.24

25 yrs: 750 e^.105(25) = $ 10353.43

to find the doubling time:

1000 e^ .12t = 2(1000) so e^.12t = 2 or .12t = ln2 in turn 5.78 yrs

10 yrs: 1000e^.12(10) = $3320. 12

25 yrs: 1000e^.12(25) = $ 20085.54

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:31:11

** When rate = .105 we have

amt = 1000 e^(.105 t) and the equation for the doubling time is

750 e^(.105 t) = 2 * 750. Dividing both sides by 750 we get

e^(.105 t) = 2. Taking the natural log of both sides

.105t = ln(2) so that

t = ln(2) / .105 = 6.9 yrs approx.

after 10 years

amt = 750e^.105(10) = $2,143.24

after 25 yrs

amt = 7500 e^.105(25) = $10,353.43 *

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok.

4.6.44 (was 4.5.42) demand fn p = C e^(kx) if when p=$5, x = 300 and when p=$4, x = 400

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

5 = C e^(300 k) and 4 = C e^(400 k)

5/4 = e^(300 k) / e^(400 k)

5/4 = e^(-100 k)

k = ln(5/4) / (-100) = -.0022

then substitute

5 = C e^(300 k) so

C = 5 / e^(300 k) = 5 / [e^(300 ln(5/4)/ -100)] = 5 / [e^(-3 ln(5/4) ] ....... c = 9.8 and

p = 9.8 e^(-.0022 t)

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

13:33:10

** You get 5 = C e^(300 k) and 4 = C e^(400 k).

If you divide the first equation by the second you get

5/4 = e^(300 k) / e^(400 k) so

5/4 = e^(-100 k) and

k = ln(5/4) / (-100) = -.0022 approx..

Then you can substitute into the first equation:

}

5 = C e^(300 k) so

C = 5 / e^(300 k) = 5 / [ e^(300 ln(5/4) / -100 ) ] = 5 / [ e^(-3 ln(5/4) ] .

This is easily evaluated on your calculator. You get C = 9.8, approx.

So the function is p = 9.8 e^(-.0022 t). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok.
