Textbook Question
Chapter 1.6, Problem 47E
Use the model in Exercise 45 to predict what happens to x(t) ast increases. Include the effect of the initial value x(0). Is it possible for the trains to run at regular intervals? Given that there are always slight variations in the number of passengers waiting at each stop, is it likely that a regular interval can be maintained? Write two brief reports (of one or two paragraphs):
(a) The first report is addressed to other students in the class (hence you may use technical language we use in class).
(b) The second report is addressed to the Mayor of Boston.
