Question: `q4.6.1 (previously 4.6.06 (was 4.5.06)) y = C e^(kt) thru (3,.5) and (4,5)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

.5 = Ce^(3k) and 5 = Ce^(4k)

5/.5 = (Ce^(4k))/(Ce^(3k))

10 = e^k

K = ln (10) = 2.30

.5 = Ce^(3*2.3) = Ce^6.9

C = .5/(e^6.9) = 0.0005

Y = 0.005 * e^(2.3 * t)

Instead of dividing the two equations, you could solve one for C and substitute into the other equation for C and solve for k. I noticed this in an example in the book.

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

Given Solution:

`a 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). **

Self-critique (if necessary):I had no clue what the question was asking so I had to look at the given solution. I do understand the problem and did not look at the solution step by step while solving on paper. I did look over the example in the book and noted another solution to the problem to better understand.

Question: `q 4.6.2 (previously 4.6.10 (was 4.5.10)) solve dy/dt = 5.2 y if y=18 when t=0

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

dy/dt=5.2y divide both sides by y and multiply by dt to get all y variables on the same side

dy/y=5.2 * dt

1/y * dy = 5.2 * dt integrate both sides as shown

Ln |y| = 5.2t + c

e^(ln y) = e^(5.2t + c) This is done to get a y variable only on the left side

y = e^(5.2t + c) by properties of exponents this equals:

y = e^(5.2t) * e^c e^c is essentially a constant for any number greater than 0 so call it A

18 = e^(5.2 * 0) * A

18 = 1 * A

A=18 So,

y = A * e^(5.2 * t) or y = 18 e^(5.2 * t)

confidence rating #$&*:3

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

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

Given Solution:

`a 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). **

Question: `q4.6.5 (previously 4.6.25 (was 4.5.25)) Init investment $1000, rate 12%.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

A = P * e^(rt)

A = 1000 * e^(0.12t)

2000 = 1000 * e^(0.12t) divide by 2000

2 = e^(0.12t) take the nat. log of both sides

Ln 2 = 0.12 t solve for t using calculator and dividing both side by 0.12

t = 5.78 years to double the initial investment at the given rate

At 10 years

A = 1000 * e^(0.12 * 10) = $3320.12

At 25 years

A = 1000 * e^(0.12 * 25) = $20,085.50

confidence rating #$&*:3

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

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

Given Solution:

`a

Rate = .12 and initial amount is $1000 so we have

amt = $1000 e^(.12 t).

The equation for the doubling time is

1000 e^(.105 t) = 2 * 1000.

Dividing both sides by 1000 we get

e^(.12 t) = 2. Taking the natural log of both sides

.12t = ln(2) so that

t = ln(2) / .12 = 5.8 yrs approx.

after 10 years we have

• amt = 1000e^(.12(10)) = $3 320

after 25 yrs we have

• amt = 1000 e^(.12(25)) = $20 087

Question: `q 4.6.8 (previously 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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Plug in the values then divide the equations.

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

4/5 = e^(100k) take the nat. log of both sides

Ln(4/5) = 100k divide both sides by 100

k = (ln (4/5))/100 = -0.00223

Now plug k into on of the previous equations with one set of the given values to find C.

4 = Ce^(-0.00223 * 400)

C = 4/(e^(-0.00223 * 400) = 9.76 so then plug in values C and k into the original equation.

p = 9.76 * e^(-0.00223 * x)

confidence rating #$&*:3

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

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

Given Solution:

`a 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). **

Good, but do note that you are expected to work the problem assignment in the text before doing the Query. If all you do is the Query you are unlikely to be very well prepared for the test.
