1. A tank originally contains 100 L of fresh water. Then water containing 50 g/L of salt is pumped into the tank at 4 L/min, and the saline solution leaves the tank at the same rate. At all times, the solution is well-mixed. Find the concentration of salt in the tank after 20 min.
b. 15.2 g/L
b. 19.8 g/L
c. 23.4 g/L
d. 27.5 g/L
e. 31.5 g/L
2. When will the concentration of the salt in the tank (from question 1) reach 35 g/L?
b. 10 min
b. 15 min
c. 25 min
d. 30 min
e. 35 min
3. When will the concentration of the salt in the tank (from question 1) reach 55 g/L?
b. 30 min
c. 45 min
d. 60 min
e. The concentration will never be 55 g/L.
4. Consider the following initial value problem: \(\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\) such that \(y(1) = \frac{1}{2}\). Then we can state that the initial value problem definitely has a solution
b. for any real x.
b. for \( 0 < x < 2\).
c. for \( \frac{1}{2} < x < 3\).
d. for \( 1 < x < 4\).
e. for \( 1 \leq x \leq 4\).
5. Consider the following initial value problem: \(\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y^2}{x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\) such that \(y(1) = \frac{1}{2}\). Then we can state that the initial value problem definitely has a solution
c. for \( \frac{1}{4} < x < 9\).
d. for some open interval centered at \(x = 0\).
e. for some open interval centered at \(x = 1\).
6. Write out and submit your solution for questions 1-3.
