Can someone help me with this cal problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (episode):

Hey I just showed you this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but you quit on me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someonel please help me

OpenStudy (episode):

You did not answer what I had asked you off: So again we can model this equation, 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 \[P(t)=P_0e^{kt}\] Now as I asked you last time, please write down all the information they have gave us.

OpenStudy (episode):

Our initial population is \(P_0\) t = time k = relative growth rate P(t) = population at a time t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(t)=18000e^10(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?????

OpenStudy (episode):

Not quite, you listed the initial population as 18,000 but that's not right. P(t) should be 18000, we need to solve for \(P_0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 18000=Psub0e^20

OpenStudy (episode):

What does the population doubles every 10 years mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to write it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this problem is due for me in 10 minutes could you please help me quickly

OpenStudy (episode):

Ok solve for \[P_0 \] here \[18000 = P_0 2^{25/10}\]

OpenStudy (episode):

and for part b) you should get \[18000 \times 2^{7/10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can you help me out with this one too starting from part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (episode):

Well what kind of function would you expect looking at the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you walk me through it
