Problem 1
The linear equation \(d x / d t=-\lambda_{1} x\) can be solved by either separation of variables or by an integrating factor. Integrating both sides of \(d x / x=-\lambda_{1} d t\) we obtain \(\ln |x|=-\lambda_{1} t+c\) from which we get \(x=c_{1} e^{-\lambda_{1} t} .\) Using \(x(0)=x_{0}\) we find \(c_{1}=x_{0}\) so that \(x=x_{0} e^{-\lambda_{1} t} .\) Substituting this result into the second differential equation we have $$\frac{d y}{d t}+\lambda_{2} y=\lambda_{1} x_{0} e^{-\lambda_{1} t}$$ which is linear. An integrating factor is \(e^{\lambda_{2} t}\) so that $$\frac{d}{d t}\left[e^{\lambda_{2} t} y\right]=\lambda_{1} x_{0} e^{\left(\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}\right) t}+c_{2}$$ $$y=\frac{\lambda_{1} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{\left(\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}\right) t} e^{-\lambda_{2} t}+c_{2} e^{-\lambda_{2} t}=\frac{\lambda_{1} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{-\lambda_{1} t}+c_{2} e^{-\lambda_{2} t}$$ Using \(y(0)=0\) we find \(c_{2}=-\lambda_{1} x_{0} /\left(\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}\right) .\) Thus $$y=\frac{\lambda_{1} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}}\left(e^{-\lambda_{1} t}-e^{-\lambda_{2} t}\right)$$ Substituting this result into the third differential equation we have $$\frac{d z}{d t}=\frac{\lambda_{1} \lambda_{2} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}}\left(e^{-\lambda_{1} t}-e^{-\lambda_{2} t}\right)$$ Integrating we find $$z=-\frac{\lambda_{2} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{-\lambda_{1} t}+\frac{\lambda_{1} x_{0}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{-\lambda_{2} t}+c_{3}$$ Using \(z(0)=0\) we find \(c_{3}=x_{0} .\) Thus $$z=x_{0}\left(1-\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{-\lambda_{1} t}+\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1}} e^{-\lambda_{2} t}\right)$$.

Problem 1
(a) Solving \(N(1-0.0005 N)=0\) for \(N\) we find the equilibrium solutions \(N=0\) and \(N=2000\) When 0 From the phase portrait we see that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} N(t)=2000.\) (b) Separating variables and integrating we have \\[ \frac{d N}{N(1-0.0005 N)}=\left(\frac{1}{N}-\frac{1}{N-2000}\right) d N=d t \\] and \\[ \ln N-\ln (N-2000)=t+c \\] Solving for \(N\) we get \(N(t)=2000 e^{c+t} /\left(1+e^{c+t}\right)=2000 e^{c} e^{t} /\left(1+e^{c} e^{t}\right) .\) Using \(N(0)=1\) and solving for \(e^{c}\) we find \(e^{c}=1 / 1999\) and so \(N(t)=2000 e^{t} /\left(1999+e^{t}\right) .\) Then \(N(10)=1833.59,\) so 1834 companies are expected to adopt the new technology when \(t=10.\)

Problem 1
Let \(P=P(t)\) be the population at time \(t,\) and \(P_{0}\) the initial population. From \(d P / d t=k P\) we obtain \(P=P_{0} e^{k t}\) \(\operatorname{Using} P(5)=2 P_{0}\) we find \(k=\frac{1}{5} \ln 2\) and \(P=P_{0} e^{(\ln 2) t / 5} .\) Setting \(P(t)=3 P_{0}\) we have \(3=e^{(\ln 2) t / 5},\) so \(\ln 3=\frac{(\ln 2) t}{5} \quad\) and \(\quad t=\frac{5 \ln 3}{\ln 2} \approx 7.9\) years. Setting \(P(t)=4 P_{0}\) we have \(4=e^{(\ln 2) t / 5},\) so \(\ln 4=\frac{(\ln 2) t}{5} \quad\) and \(\quad t \approx 10\) years

Solving for \(P_{0}\) we get \(P_{0}=10,000 e^{-(3 / 5) \ln 2}=6,597.5 .\) Now $$P(10)=P_{0} e^{(1 / 5)(\ln 2)(10)}=6,597.5 e^{2 \ln 2}=4 P_{0}=26,390$$ The rate at which the population is growing is $$P^{\prime}(10)=k P(10)=\frac{1}{5}(\ln 2) 26,390=3658 \text { persons/year. }$$

Combining the two equations for \(c\) we get \\[ \left(\frac{(c-23.192) / 23.192}{c / 3.929-1}\right)^{2}\left(\frac{c}{3.929}-1\right)=\frac{c-91.972}{91.972} \\] or \\[ 91.972(3.929)(c-23.192)^{2}=(23.192)^{2}(c-91.972)(c-3.929) \\] The solution of this quadratic equation is \(c=197.274 .\) This in turn gives \(a=0.0313 .\) Therefore, \\[ P(t)=\frac{197.274}{1+49.21 e^{-0.0313 t}} \\] $$\begin{array}{|c|rrrr|} \hline & {}{\underline{\phantom{xx}}} {\text { Census }} & {}{\underline{\phantom{xx}}} {\text { Predicted }} & {}{\underline{\phantom{xx}}} {} \\ \text { Year } & \text { Population } & \text { Population } & \text {} & \text { Error } \\ \hline 1790 & 3.929 & 3.929 & 0.000 & 0.00 \\ 1800 & 5.308 & 5.334 & -0.026 & -0.49 \\ 1810 & 7.240 & 7.222 & 0.018 & 0.24 \\ 1820 & 9.638 & 9.746 & -0.108 & -1.12 \\ 1830 & 12.866 & 13.090 & -0.224 & -1.74 \\ 1840 & 17.069 & 17.475 & -0.406 & -2.38 \\ 1850 & 23.192 & 23.143 & 0.049 & 0.21 \\ 1860 & 31.433 & 30.341 & 1.092 & 3.47 \\ 1870 & 38.558 & 39.272 & -0.714 & -1.85 \\ 1880 & 50.156 & 50.044 & 0.112 & 0.22 \\ 1890 & 62.948 & 62.600 & 0.348 & 0.55 \\ 1900 & 75.996 & 76.666 & -0.670 & -0.88 \\ 1910 & 91.972 & 91.739 & 0.233 & 0.25 \\ 1920 & 105.711 & 107.143 & -1.432 & -1.35 \\ 1930 & 122.775 & 122.140 & 0.635 & 0.52 \\ 1940 & 131.669 & 136.068 & -4.399 & -3.34 \\ 1950 & 150.697 & 148.445 & 2.252 & 1.49 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ The model predicts a population of 159.0 million for 1960 and 167.8 million for \(1970 .\) The census populations for these years were 179.3 and \(203.3,\) respectively.

Setting \(A(t)=0.1\) we have \(e^{t(1 / 3.3) \ln (1 / 2)}=0.1,\) so $$\frac{t}{3.3} \ln \frac{1}{2}=\ln 0.1 \quad \text { and } \quad t=\frac{3.3 \ln 0.1}{\ln (1 / 2)} \approx 10.96 \text { hours. }$$

Problem 6
Solving \(P(5-P)-\frac{25}{4}=0\) for \(P\) we obtain the equilibrium solution \(P=\frac{5}{2} .\) For \(P \neq \frac{5}{2}, d P / d t<0 .\) Thus, if \(P_{0}<\frac{5}{2},\) the population becomes extinct (otherwise there would be another equilibrium solution.) Using separation of variables to solve the initial-value problem, we get \\[ P(t)=\left[4 P_{0}+\left(10 P_{0}-25\right) t\right] /\left[4+\left(4 P_{0}-10\right) t\right] \\] To find when the population becomes extinct for \(P_{0}<\frac{5}{2}\) we solve \(P(t)=0\) for \(t .\) We see that the time of extinction is \(t=4 P_{0} / 5\left(5-2 P_{0}\right).\)

Thus \(x_{1}=150-x_{2}\) and the second equation in part (a) becomes \\[\frac{d x_{2}}{d t}=\frac{2\left(150-x_{2}\right)}{100+t}-\frac{3 x_{2}}{100-t}=\frac{300}{100+t}-\frac{2 x_{2}}{100+t}-\frac{3 x_{2}}{100-t}\\] or \\[\frac{d x_{2}}{d t}+\left(\frac{2}{100+t}+\frac{3}{100-t}\right) x_{2}=\frac{300}{100+t}\\] Using integration by parts, we obtain \\[(100+t)^{2}(100-t)^{-3} x_{2}=300\left[\frac{1}{2}(100+t)(100-t)^{-2}-\frac{1}{2}(100-t)^{-1}+c\right]\\] Thus \\[\begin{aligned}x_{2} &=\frac{300}{(100+t)^{2}}\left[c(100-t)^{3}-\frac{1}{2}(100-t)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(100+t)(100-t)\right] \\\ &=\frac{300}{(100+t)^{2}}\left[c(100-t)^{3}+t(100-t)\right]\end{aligned}\\] Using \(x_{2}(0)=50\) we find \(c=5 / 3000 .\) At \(t=30, x_{2}=\left(300 / 130^{2}\right)\left(70^{3} c+30 \cdot 70\right) \approx 47.4\) lbs.

Problem 8
(a) The solution of \(d A / d t=k A\) is \(A(t)=A_{0} e^{k t} .\) Letting \(A=\frac{1}{2} A_{0}\) and solving for \(t\) we obtain the half-life \(T=-(\ln 2) / k\). (b) since \(k=-(\ln 2) / T\) we have $$A(t)=A_{0} e^{-(\ln 2) t / T}=A_{0} 2^{-t / T}$$. (c) Writing \(\frac{1}{8} A_{0}=A_{0} 2^{-t / T}\) as \(2^{-3}=2^{-t / T}\) and solving for \(t\) we get \(t=3 T .\) Thus, an initial amount \(A_{0}\) will decay to \(\frac{1}{8} A_{0}\) in three half-lives.

Problem 11
(a) The initial-value problem is \(d h / d t=-8 A_{h} \sqrt{h} / A_{w}, h(0)=H\) Separating variables and integrating we have \\[ \frac{d h}{\sqrt{h}}=-\frac{8 A_{h}}{A_{w}} d t \quad \text { and } \quad 2 \sqrt{h}=-\frac{8 A_{h}}{A_{w}} t+c \\] Using \(h(0)=H\) we find \(c=2 \sqrt{H},\) so the solution of the initial-value problem is \(\sqrt{h(t)}=\left(A_{w} \sqrt{H}-4 A_{h} t\right) / A_{w},\) where \(A_{w} \sqrt{H}-4 A_{h} t \geq 0 .\) Thus, \\[ h(t)=\left(A_{w} \sqrt{H}-4 A_{h} t\right)^{2} / A_{w}^{2} \quad \text { for } \quad 0 \leq t \leq A_{w} H / 4 A_{h} \\] (b) Identifying \(H=10, A_{w}=4 \pi,\) and \(A_{h}=\pi / 576\) we have \(h(t)=t^{2} / 331,776-(\sqrt{5 / 2} / 144) t+10 .\) Solving \(h(t)=0\) we see that the tank empties in \(576 \sqrt{10}\) seconds or 30.36 minutes.
