In Problems 55-66, express your answer as a linear inequality with appropriate nonnegative restrictions and draw its graph. Fertilizer. A farmer wants to use two brands of fertilizer for his corn crop. Brand A contains 26 % nitrogen, 3 % phosphate, and 3 % potash . Brand B contains 16 % nitrogen, 8 % phosphate, and 8 % potash . (Source: Spectrum Analytic, Inc.) (A) How many pounds of each brand of fertilizer should he add to each acre if he wants to add at least 120 pounds of nitrogen to each acre? (B) How many pounds of each brand of fertilizer should be add to each acre if he wants to add at most 28 pounds of phosphate to each acre?

A tank contains 60 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 8 L/min. The
solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the rate 11 L/min.
Let y be the number of kg of salt in the tank after t minutes.
The differential equation for this situation would be:
dy
dt
y(0) =
Simplify the below expression.
3 - (-7)
Solve the initial value problem:
y= 0.05y + 5
y(0) = 100
y(t) =
