Answer: Jacob is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation: 5 years ago, Jacob was 2 years old and his brother was 12. Now, in three years, Jacob will be 10 and his brother will be 20. To find the answer, you need a system of equations. The first equation will be 6(J-5) = B - 5, where J is Jacob's current age and B is his brother's. The next equation will be 2(J + 3) = B + 3. Now, just solve the equation. I gave you the answer, but please work through the problem so you understand it :D

Answer: Straight piecework plan

Step-by-step explanation:

The Straight piecework plan is a type of incentive system in which the rate per unit output is constant and fixed at a specific value. And the total earnings of a worker is calculated by multiplying the value of its total output by the rate per unit output.

In the case above the rate per unit invoice processed is fixed, so employees are paid based on the number of invoice processed per hour which makes it a Straight piecework plan system.

A common assumption in modeling drug assimilation is that the blood volume in a person is a single compartment that behaves like
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}

b) \mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}

c)  the  steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) t ≅ 153.51  minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

At time t= 0

an intravenous line is inserted into a vein (into the tank) that carries a drug solution with a concentration of 500

The inflow rate is 0.06 L/min.

Assume the drug is quickly mixed thoroughly in the blood and that the volume of blood remains constant.

The objective of the question is to calculate the following :

a) Write an initial value problem that models the mass of the drug in the blood for t ≥ 0.

From above information given :

Rate _{(in)}= 500 \ mg/L  \times 0.06 \  L/min = 30 mg/min

Rate _{(out)}=\dfrac{x}{4} \ mg/L  \times 0.06 \  L/min = 0.015x \  mg/min

Therefore;

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = Rate_{(in)} - Rate_{(out)}

with respect to  x(0) = 0

\mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}

b) Solve the initial value problem and graph both the mass of the drug and the concentration of the drug.

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -0.015(x - 2000)

\dfrac{dx}{(x - 2000)} = -0.015 \times dt

By Using Integration Method:

ln(x - 2000) = -0.015t + C

x -2000 = Ce^{(-0.015t)

x = 2000 + Ce^{(-0.015t)}

However; if x(0) = 0 ;

Then

C = -2000

Therefore

\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}

c) What is the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood?

the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood when t = infinity

\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015 \times \infty }}

x = 2000 - 0

x = 2000

Thus; the  steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) After how many minutes does the drug mass reach 90% of its stead-state level?

After 90% of its steady state level; the mas of the drug is 90% × 2000

= 0.9 × 2000

= 1800

Hence;

\mathbf{1800 = 2000 - 2000e^{(-0.015t)}}

0.1 = e^{(-0.015t)

ln(0.1) = -0.015t

t = -\dfrac{In(0.1)}{0.015}

t = 153.5056729

t ≅ 153.51  minutes

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

n=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2000 pounds = 1 ton 600000 pounds = X tons Hence X tons = (600000 x 1) ÷ 2000 = 300 tons 3 x 10ⁿ = 300 Hence 3 x 10ⁿ = 3 x 10² Hence n= 2
