Problem 3

Find \(C\) and \(b\) so that \(C e^{0 x}\) closely approximates the data \begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline\(x\) & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline\(y\) & 2.18 & 5.98 & 16.1 & 43.6 & 129.7 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Observe that for \(y=C e^{b x}, \ln y=\ln C+b x\).

Problem 10

Suppose there is an infinitely long tube containing water lying along the \(X\) -axis from \(-\infty\) to \(\infty\) and at time \(t=0\) a bolus injection of one gram of salt is made at the origin. Let \(u(x, t)\) be the concentration of salt at position \(x\) in the tube at time \(t\). Considering \(t=0\) is a bit of stressful: \(u(x, 0)=0\) for \(x \neq 0 ;\) but the bolus injection of one \(\mathrm{gm}\) at the origin causes the concentration at \(x=0\) and \(t=0\) to be rather large; \(u(0,0)=\infty\). Moving on, for \(t>0\) we may assume that $$ u_{t}(x, t)=k u_{x x}(x, t) $$ where the diffusion coefficient, \(k,\) describes the rate at which salt diffuses in water. a. Show that $$ u(x, t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4 \pi k t}} e^{-x^{2} /(4 k t)} $$ is a solution to Equation 13.38 . b. Suppose \(k=1 / 4\). Sketch the graphs of \(u(x, 1), u(x, 4),\) and \(u(x, 8)\). c. Suppose \(k=1 / 4\). Sketch the graphs of \(u(x, 1), u(x, 1 / 2),\) and \(u(x, 1 / 4)\). d. Estimate the areas under the previous curves. For any time, \(t_{0},\) what do you expect to be the area under the curve of \(u\left(x, t_{0}\right), \infty
