Explanation Theorem used: Separation of Variables: The solution of the differential equation f ( y ) y ′ = g ( x ) is given implicitly by the equation, ∫ f ( y ) d y = ∫ g ( x ) d x . Formula used: Limited growth model: d y d t = k y , k > 0 , t > 0 Calculation: Let y represent the annual sales. It is given that the rate at which the annual sales decline is proportional to the difference between the annual sales and $5 million. That is, d y d t = k ( 5 − y ) , k > 0 , t > 0 . Thus, the problem follows a limited growth model. Rewrite the differential equation d y d t = k ( 5 − y ) as, d y d t = k ( 5 − y ) d y 5 − y = k d t 1 5 − y d y = k d t Comparing the equation 1 5 − y d y = k d t and f ( y ) y ′ = g ( x ) , it is observed that f ( y ) = 1 5 − y and g ( t ) = k . By the above theorem, the solution is given by, ∫ f ( y ) d y = ∫ g ( t ) d t ∫ 1 5 − y d y = ∫ k d t ∫ ( 1 5 − y ) d y = ∫ k d t − ln ( 5 − y ) = k t + C 1 Simplify further as, e ln ( 5 − y ) − 1 = e k t + C 1 1 5 − y = e k t + C 1 5 − y = e − k t − C 1 5 − y = C e − k t , where C = e − C 1 That is, y = 5 − C e − k t . Initially the annual sale of a company is $0 million. That is, y ( 0 ) = 0 . Substitute t = 0 and y = 0 in y = 5 − C e − k t , y = 5 − C e − k t 0 = 5 − C e − k ( 0 ) C = 5 Substitute C = 5 in y = 5 − C e − k t , y = 5 − C e − k t = 5 − 5 e − k t The annual sale of the company after four years is $1 million

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Suppose that a room containing 1300 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide (CO). Beginning at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% CO is introduced into the room at a rate of 0.8 cubic feet per minute. The well-circulated smoke and air mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. Let A(t) represent the amount of CO in the room (in cubic feet) after t minutes. (A) Write the DE model for the time rate of change of CO in the room. Also state the initial condition. dA dt A(0) (B) Solve the IVP to find the amount of CO in the room at any time t > 0. A(t) (C) Extended exposure to a CO concentration as low as 0.00012 is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this concentration is reached. t= minutes

Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation dT dt k(TA), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is the ambient temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality. Suppose that a cup of coffee begins at 178 degrees and, after sitting in room temperature of 61 degrees for 12 minutes, the coffee reaches 171 degrees. How long will it take before the coffee reaches 155 degrees? Include at least 2 decimal places in your answer. minutes
