Suppose there is a rumor going on at a school. Two students; Jane (who believes it) and Mike (who hasn't heard it.) Jane persuades Mike at rate alpha. Jane switches her opinion to not believing the rumor at rate beta. a. Write differential equations for the probability of belief for Jane and Mike. b. What are the initial conditions? c. Solve the differential equation for Jane.

Let us revisit a question from a few problem sets ago with slightly different numbers. A patient takes 200 mg of an antibiotic every 6 hours. The half-life of the drug (the time it takes for half of the drug to be eliminated from the blood) is 6 hours. Let dn denote the amount (in mg) of medication in the bloodstream after n doses, where d₁= 200. 1. Explain why dn+1 = 0.5dn + 200, d₁= 200 is the correct recurrence relation. 2. Use the recurrence relation to write down the expressions for d2, d3, and d4. Do not simplify- instead, keep powers of 0.5 in your answers. 3. You should see that each dn is a geometric sum. We are interested in finding the long-term (steady state) amount of antibiotic in your blood, i.e., limno dn. Write this limit as an infinite series using summation (E) notation. 4. Evaluate the geometric series from the previous part using the geometric series formula. 5. Previously we used the recurrence relation dn+1 = 0.5dn + 200, d₁ = 200 and the assumption that dn→ L to…
7. The population of a city has been growing exponentially. The table below shows the population every ten years, starting in 1950. Year 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Population 199 499 243 128 296 371 361 275 440 392 536 835 654 399 a. Find the exponential regression equation in the form P(t) = ab' , where P(t) is the population and t is the number of years since 1950 (1950 is year 0). Express the values of a and b to the nearest hundredth. b. Calculate the population, to the nearest whole number, in 1985. Assuming that the growth rate remains the same, during what year will the population reach 1 000 000?
