Can someone please help me with two simple Cal Equations
@ganeshie8 @hartnn @Zarkon
what eq can u write?
i cant think of one
dP/dt (where P-population)=?
u have learnt these right?
yes
ok then what is the rate of change of population?
dP/dt =?
actually i dont get it
can i just get the answer please
well..u must learn the concept behind it.. is suggest u look at some sample problems in ur book..i would have given an example but i m in a hurry..sry.. and Good Luck!
What you do not get?
the answer
Are you given the equation?
no
Okay. Let's derive it.
Hello, we can model this equation, we can this will require a differential equation of the sort \[\frac{ dy }{ dt } = ky\] which give us the exponential functions \[y(t)=y(0)e^{kt}\] so in our case as we're dealing with population growth we can use the following: \[\frac{ dP }{ dt } = kP\] where k is the proportionality constant. And our relative growth will be \[\frac{ 1 }{ P }\frac{ dP }{ dt }\] which should be constant. So our equation then becomes \[P(t)=P_0e^{kt}\]
Our initial population is \(P_0\) t = time k = relative growth P(t) = population at a time t
You may use this equation now to answer your questions
wait can you show me this in context
could you show me he equation plugged into the question
Ok, lets put all the information we have down first, can you do that please?
sure
