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

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

RESPONSE -->

.5 = Ce^k3 and 5 = Ce^k4

C = .5/e^k3

substitute into the second equation

5 = (.5/e^k3)e^k4

5/.5 = e^k

ln5/.5 = k

k = 2.3026

.5 = Ce^2.3026(3)

.5 = Ce^6.9078

c = .5/e^6.9078

c = .0005

y = .0005e^2.3026t

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). **

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

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). **

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 -->

A = 1000e^.12t

2000 = 1000e^.12t

t = 5.7762 years

A = 1000e^.12(10) = $3320.12

A = 1000e^.12(25) = $20085.54

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 *

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 = Ce^k(300) and 4 = Ce^k(400)

C = 5/e^k(300)

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

k = -.0022

5 = Ce^-.0022(300)

5 = Ce^-.66

C = 9.674

y = 9.674e^-.0022t

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). **
