In my pond there are on average 2 fish per cubic yard of water. If we assume the fish do not school and are moving around independently of each other, then in any three dimensional region of the pond the number of fish is independent of the number in any other such region, and the expected number is proportional to the volume of the region. For a very tiny region, it is virtually impossible to find more than one fish. If we have an underwater scanner capable of locating fish, what is the probability (to two decimal place accuracy) we will have to scan over 7 cubic yards to find 12

A car's cooling system has a capacity of 30 quarts. Initially, the system contains a mixture of 6 quarts of antifreeze and 15 quarts of water. Water runs into the system at the rate of 1 gallon per minute, then the homogeneous mixture runs out at the same rate. How much antifreeze is in the system at the end of 6 minutes?

Consider three connected lakes, A, B, and C, where lake B has a volume of 2650 km, and water flows from lake A into lake B, and from lake B into lake C, both inflows and outflows at the same rate of 525 km2/year. Suppose that at time t=0 (years), the pollutant concentration of lake B, caused by past industrial pollution that has now been ordered to cease, is five times that of lake A. If the outflow from lake B to lake C is perfectly mixed lake water, how long will it take to reduce the pollution concentration in lake B to twice that of lake A? (Choose all correct answers) OA More than five years. OB Less than eight years. OC Less than six years. D D. More than 11 years.

Two connected tanks, each with a capacity of 50 liters, contain brine (saltwater). Initially, the first tank contains 18 liters of brine with a salt concentration of 3 grams per liter and the second contains 17 liters of brine with a salt concentration of 2 grams per liter. At t = 0 brine with a salt concentration of 6 grams per liter flows into the first tank at 8 liters per hour. Well-stirred brine flows from the first tank into the second at 7 liters per hour, from the second into the first at 5 liters per hour, from the first into a drain at 4 liters per hour, and from the second into a drain at 3 liters per hour. (a) Determine the volume (liters) of brine in each tank as a function of time.(b) Give an initial-value problem that governs the amount (grams) of salt in eachtank as a function of time.(c) Give the interval of definition for the solution of this initial-value problem.
The brine solution is recycled using a series of mixing tanks before being released outside of the tanks. Tank A receives pure water at a rate of 4 L/min. The solution is pumped to Tanks B and C at rates of 2 L/min and x L/min, respectively, from Tank A, which originally contains 500 L of brine solution in which 200 g of salt is first dissolved. At a rate of 4 L/min, Tank B from its original 400 L of brine solution in which 1000 g of salt has been dissolved pumps the solution to Tank C. At a rate of y L/min, Tank C, which originally holds 400 L of pure water, pumps the solution back to Tank B. Meanwhile, Tank C releases z L/min of solution out of the system. a. Determine the values of x, y, and z if the volume of the solution within each tank stays constant throughout time. b. Find out the brine solution's concentration coming out of each tank at time t-8 minutes. 2 L/min TANK B TANKA 4 L/min y L/min Pure water @4 L/min x L/min TANK C z L/min

My cat Pythagoras has purchased and installed in my back yard a large barrel with a 400-gallon capacity. It is initially half full of clean water. But he has three hoses feeding this barrel, each with a rate of flow of 2 gal./min. of water. Two provide the barrel with clean water, but the third contains a concentration of 2 g/gal. of liquid calculus text books. My other cat, Jolie, has decided to sabotage this process by puncturing a hole toward the bottom of this barrel that allows 4 gal./min. to leak. If we assume that there is a benevolent feline deity that blissfully stirs this barrel with a rather large spoon, then write a differential equation that mathematically models the rate at which the amount of liquid calculus text books changes in the barrel (at least up to the time it fills). Thereafter, solve this differential equation.
