Find the general solution to the separable differential equation 3tdwdt=6t2 3t \(\frac{dw}{dt}\) = 6t^2 .
A rumor spreads in a school according to dSdt=aS(1−SB) \(\frac{dS}{dt}\) = aS \(\left\)(1 - \(\frac{S}{B}\]\right\)) , where a a is the spread rate, B B is the total number of students, and S0 S_0 is the initial number of students who know the rumor. Find S(t) S(t) in terms of aa, BB, S0S_0.
A 600600-L\(\text{L}\) tank is initially filled with pure water. A potassium nitrate solution with a concentration of 15 g/L15 \(\text{ g/L}\) flows into the tank at a rate of 5 L/min5 \(\text{ L/min}\). The thoroughly mixed solution is drained from the tank at a rate of 5 L/min5 \(\text{ L/min}\). Let m(t)m(t) be the mass of potassium nitrate (in grams) at time tt (in minutes). Determine the initial value problem that models the mass of potassium nitrate in the tank.
A cup of tea is initially at a temperature of 85∘C 85^{\(\circ\)}\(\text{C}\) and cools in a room maintained at 20∘C 20^{\(\circ\)}\(\text{C}\) . If the cooling constant is k=0.03 k = 0.03 min−1\(\text{min}\)^{-1}, after how many minutes will the tea reach 40∘C 40^{\(\circ\)}\(\text{C}\) ? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Consider the predator-prey system given by the equations: x′(t)=−2x+5xyx^{\(\prime\)}(t)=-2x+5xy, y′(t)=y−3xyy^{\(\prime\)}(t)=y-3xy. Determine the equilibrium points for this system.
