Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

The system shown in the figure can be modeled by the following differential equation system dh, + qi = A1° h2pg – h,pg R1 dt dh2 Az- 1 pgh, A: dt + (+) pgh2 R1 where h, and h2 are the height of the liquid in Tank 1 and 2, Aqand Azare the cross-sectional areas of the Tank 1 and 2, R1 and R2 are orifice radiuses, p is the density of the fluid, and g is the gravity. Liquid enters the first tank at the rate of q; and then flows to the second tank at the rate of q, then 1000 leaves the second tank at the rate of qo. If pg = 1000, A, = 250, A2 = R = 2, R2 = 3/2 in proper units, a) Find the homogenous solution of the system by taking the first element of the eigenvectors as 1 if q = 0. b) Find the non-homogeneous solution of the system using the variation of parameters method if qi = 250.
