Chapter 11, Problem 18P

An electronics company produces transistors, resistors, and computer chips. Each transistor requires four units of copper, one unit of zinc, and two units of glass. Each resistor requires three, three, and one units of the three materials, respectively, and each computer chip requires two, one, and three units of these materials, respectively. Putting this information into table form, we get:

Component Copper Zinc Glass
Transistors 4 1 2
Resistors 3 3 1
Computer chips 2 1 3

Supplies of these materials vary from week to week, so the company needs to determine a different production run each week. For example, one week the total amounts of materials available are 960 units of copper, 510 units of zinc, and 610 units of glass. Set up the system of equations modeling the production run, and use Excel, MATLAB, or Mathcad, to solve for the number of transistors, resistors, and computer chips to be manufactured this week.

Suppose that a room containing 1300 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide (CO). Beginning at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% CO is introduced into the room at a rate of 0.8 cubic feet per minute. The well-circulated smoke and air mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. Let A(t) represent the amount of CO in the room (in cubic feet) after t minutes. (A) Write the DE model for the time rate of change of CO in the room. Also state the initial condition. dA dt A(0) (B) Solve the IVP to find the amount of CO in the room at any time t > 0. A(t) (C) Extended exposure to a CO concentration as low as 0.00012 is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this concentration is reached. t= minutes
You buy a house for $210000, and take out a 30-year mortgage at 7% interest. For simplicity, assume that interest compounds continuously. A) What will be your annual mortgage payment? $ per year B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 6% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage? years
