Let \(y(t)\) be the population of a species that is being harvested. Consider the harvesting model \(y^{\prime}(t)=0.008 y-h, y(0)=y_{0},\) where \(h>0\) is the annual harvesting rate and \(y_{0}\) is the initial population of the species. a. If \(y_{0}=2000,\) what harvesting rate should be used to maintain a constant population of \(y=2000\) for \(t \geq 0 ?\) b. If the harvesting rate is \(h=200 /\) year, what initial population ensures a constant population for \(t \geq 0 ?\)
Many methods needed Show that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} \ln x}{(1+x)^{2}} d x=\pi\) in the following steps. a. Integrate by parts with \(u=\sqrt{x} \ln x\) b. Change variables by letting \(y=1 / x\) c. Show that \(\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x=-\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x\) (and that both integrals converge). Conclude that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x-0\) d. Evaluate the remaining integral using the change of variables \(z=\sqrt{x}\)
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The general solution of \(y^{\prime}(t)=20 y\) is \(y=e^{20 t}\). b. The functions \(y=2 e^{-2 t}\) and \(y=10 e^{-2 t}\) do not both satisfy the differential equation \(y^{\prime}+2 y=0\). c. The equation \(y^{\prime}(t)=t y+2 y+2 t+4\) is not separable. d. A solution of \(y^{\prime}(t)=2 \sqrt{y}\) is \(y=(t+1)^{2}\).
\(A\) powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function \(f(t)\) the Laplace transform is a new function \(F(s)\) defined by $$F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} f(t) d t$$ where we assume that \(s\) is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of \(f(t)=e^{-t},\) the following improper integral is evaluated: $$F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} e^{-t} d t=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(s+1) t} d t=\frac{1}{s+1}$$ Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number. $$f(t)=e^{a t} \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{1}{s-a}$$
Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with \(n=4,8,16,\) and 32 subintervals when they are applied to the following integrals (with their exact values given). \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{9} x d x=\frac{128}{315}\)
