    Differential Equations Reduction of Order Methods

    Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems. (i) Consider the differential equation: x. = x^2 , x(0) given x(0)>0 Find the solution of x(t) of this equation in terms of x(0) and show that there is a T, which depends on x(0), such that lim x(t) = infinity t --> T- (ii) Find the solution of the

    Working with growth and decay rates and decay rate expressions.

    A crude-oil refinery has an underground storage tank which has a fixed volume of 'V' liters. Due to pollutants, it gets contaminated with 'P(t)' kilograms of chemical waste at time 't' which is evenly distributed throughout the tank. Oil containing a variety of pollutants with concentration of 'k' kilograms per liter enters

    Differential Equations and Newton's Law of Cooling

    At 4:30 PM on Monday, a Virginia criminalist was called to the scene of a homicide. She noted that the body temperature of the deceased was 85.5 deg. while the air temperature was 78 deg. Thirty minutes later, the deceased's body temperature was 82 deg. Assuming the air temperature stayed constant, what is the estimated time of

    Interval of Convergence Power Series

    I am trying to find the interval of convergence for the attached power series (attached as a gif). I am also supposed to check the endpoints for convergence. I'm not that good with power series and the format of this power series is really throwing me off. So I am looking for the steps to find the interval of convergence (also c

    Power Series Representation

    I am trying to figure out a powers series representation for the function f(x) = e^x, centered at c = -2. I also need to find the interval of convergence.

    Tangent Line to a Curve

    Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve, Y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x that has the least slope. Make sure to show all of the required steps.

    Rectilinear motion: Calculation of velocity

    A billiard ball is hit and travels in a line. If s centimeters is the distance of the ball from its initial position at t seconds, then s=100t2 + 100t. If the ball hits a cushion that is 39cm from its initial position, at what velocity does it hit the cushion?

    Find the maximum area of a window.

    A special window has the shape of a rectangle surrmounted by an equilateral triangle. If the perimeter is 16 feet, what dimensions will admit the most light? (hint: Area of equilateral triangle = the square root of 3/4 times x squared.)

    Trigonometric integrals involving powers

    I used the product to sum identities rule since the integral involved cosines of different angles. I have attached a word document with the integral to solve and my work. I want to know if my answer is correct. If my answer is not correct, I want to know the correct answer and the steps to get it. Thanks.
