Use the plot to graphically estimate when and where the jumper would hit the ground if the chute failed to open.arrow_forwardA 200 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of water with 20 pounds of salt. A salt solution with 1/5 pound of salt per gallon is added to the tank at 10 gal/min, and the resulting mixture is drained out at 5 gal/min. Let Q(t) denote the quantity (lbs) of salt at time t (min). (a) Write a differential equation for Q(t) which is valid up until the point at which the tank overflows. Q' (t) = = (b) Find the quantity of salt in the tank as it's about to overflow. esc C ✓ % 1 1 a 2 W S # 3 e d $ 4 f 5 rt 99 6 y & 7 h O u * 00 8 O 1 9 1 Oarrow_forward

- Prime Implicants A prime implicant is a product term obtained by combining the maximum possible number of adjacent squares in the map. If a minterm in a square is covered by only one prime implicant, that prime implicant is said to be essential. The prime implicants of a function can be obtained from the map by combining all possible maximum numbers of squares.
