For example, if R is the population of rabbits (which reproduce autocatlytically), G is the amount of grass available for rabbit food (assumed to be constant), L is the population of Lynxes that feeds on the rabbits, and D represents dead lynxes, the following equations represent the dynamic behavior of the populations of rabbits and lynxes: R+G→ 2R (1) L+R→ 2L (2) (3) Each step is irreversible since, for example, rabbits cannot turn back into grass. a) Write down the differential equations that describe how the populations of rabbits (R) and lynxes (L) change with time. b) Assuming G and all of the rate constants are unity, solve the equations for the evolution of the animal populations with time. Let the initial values of R and L be 20 and 1, respectively. Plot your results and discuss how the two populations are related.arrow_forward
- The chemical processes in your body are facilitated by enzymes which determine the rate at which different reaction occurs. The rate of a chemical reaction v is determined by the Michaelis-Menten equation. For example consider the following reaction breaking down a substrate S into two particles P1 and P2. The Michaelis-Menten equation tells us that the rate of the reaction is: v = aS/ b+S . Question 1: Plot v if a = 0.14 and b = 0.015 for a domain of S ∈ [0, 0.5] (See attached image for diagram!)

An example of an engineering problem leading to a nonlinear equation. An endless belt with a length 500mm is tightly wrapped around two pulleys of radii R=60mm and r=40mm as is shown in the next figure.

- Initially, two large tanks A and B each hold 100 gallons of brine. The well-stirred liquid is pumped between the tanks as shown in the figure below. Use the information given in the figure to construct a mathematical model for the number of pounds of salt x1(t) and x2(t) at time t, measured in minutes, in tanks A and B, respectively.arrow_forwardAn escalator is moving downward at a constant speed. Andrea walks down the escalator as it is moving down, and walks down 50 steps by the time she reaches the bottom. Marty runs down the escalator as it is moving down, and runs down 90 steps by the time he reaches the bottom. Marty does this in the same time that Andrea takes to walk down 10 steps. How many steps are visible when the escalator is not moving? Note: Andrea walks down the steps at a constant speed. Also, Marty runs down the steps at a constant speed as well.arrow_forwardSolve d part only in 20 minutes plz and take a thumb up plzarrow_forward
