Question: `qQuery problem 6.2.54 (7th edition 6.3.54) time for disease to spread to x individuals is 5010 integral(1/[ (x+1)(500-x) ]; x = 1 at t = 0.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

5010 int(1/[(x+1)(500-x)]), x=1 at t=0

1/[(x+1)(500-x)] = A(500-x) + B(x+1)

Solve for A and B to get 1/501 for both

5010[1/(501(x+1))+ 1/(501(500-x))] = 10[1/(x+1) + 1/(500-x)]

Antiderivative is 10[ ln |x+1| - ln |500-x|]

x = 1 so the problem is:

10[ ln |2| - ln |499| + c]

10(.69 - 6.21) = -55.2 which if set equal to c would make it 55.2.

The equation is 10 ln((x+1)/(500-x))+55.2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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

Given Solution:

`a 1 / ( (x+1)(500-x) ) = A / (x+1) + B / (500-x) so

A(500-x) + B(x+1) = 1 so

A = 1 / 501 and B = 1/501.

The integrand becomes 5010 [ 1 / (501 (x+1) ) + 1 / (501 (500 - x)) ] = 10 [ 1/(x+1) + 1 / (500 - x) ].

Thus we have

t = INT(5010 ( 1 / (x+1) + 1 / (500 - x) ) , x).

Since an antiderivative of 1/(x+1) is ln | x + 1 | and an antiderivative of 1 / (500 - x) is - ln | 500 - x | we obtain

t = 10 [ ln (x+1) - ln (500-x) + c].

(for example INT (1 / (500 - x) dx) is found by first substituting u = 1 - x, giving du = -dx. The integral then becomes INT(-1/u du), giving us - ln | u | = - ln | 500 - x | ).

We are given that x = 1 yields t = 0. Substituting x = 1 into the expression t = 10 [ ln (x+1) - ln (500-x) + c], and setting the result equal to 0, we get c = 5.52, appxox.

So t = 10 [ ln (x+1) - ln (500-x) + 5.52] = 10 ln( (x+1) / (500 - x) ) + 55.2.

Question: `qHow long does it take for 75 percent of the population to become infected?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

500 * .75 = 375

0 = 10 ln((375 + 1) / (500-375)) + 55.2

0 = 10(5.93 - 4.83 + 5.52)

66.2

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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

Given Solution:

75% of the population of 500 is 375. Setting x = 375 we get

t = 10 ln( (375+1) / (500 - 375) ) + 55.2 = 66.2.

Question: `qHow many people are infected after 100 hours?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

t = 10 ln((x+1)/(500-x))+55.2

(t-55.2)/10=ln((x+1)/(500-x))

e^(t-55.2)/10=(x+1)/(500-x)

e^((t-55.2)/10) * (500-x) = (x+1)

500e^((t-55.2)/10) - xe^((t-55.2)/10) - 1 = x

x + xe^((t-55.2)/10) = 500e^((t-55.2)/10) - 1

x(1 + e^((t-55.2)/10) = (500e^((t-55.2)/10) - 1)

x = (500e^((t-55.2)/10) - 1) / (1 + e^((t-55.2)/10)

Sub 100 to get 494.386

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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

Given Solution:

`a t = 10 ln( (x+1) / (500 - x) ) + 55.2. To find x we solve this equation for x:

10 ln( (x+1) / (500 - x) ) = t - 55.2 so

ln( (x+1) / (500 - x) ) = (t - 55.2 ) / 10. Exponentiating both sides we have

(x+1) / (500 - x) = e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ). Multiplying both sides by 500 - x we have

x + 1 = e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) ( 500 - x) so

x + 1 = 500 e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) - x e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ). Rearranging we have

x + x e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) = 500 e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) - 1. Factoring the left-hand side

x ( 1 + e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) ) = 500 e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) - 1 so that

x = (500 e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) - 1) / ( 1 + e^( (t-55.2) / 10 ) ).

Plugging t = 100 into this expression we actually get x = 494.4, approx.
