Answer #1

We have (0.133t3)-(2t2) = -10.47 or, (0.133t3)-(2t2)+10.47 =0. This is a cubic equation which will have 3 roots. The best way is to sketch a graph. A graph of f(t) =(0.133t3)-(2t2)+10.47, using a graphing calculator is attached. It may be observed that the graph crosses the X-Axis at x = -2.141,x = 2.506 and x = 14.672. Hence the answer is t = -2.141, 2.506 or, 14.672.

Note:

It is difficult to solve a cubic equation by hand, especially when it does not have integral coefficients. The best way is sketch a graph.

The exact coordinates may be seen in the original desmos graph and not in an image thereof.

I am unsure how to solve this question. The flow rate and NaCl concentration of a river are 2 million gallon per day and 32 ppm. A food processing plant produces and releases a saline solution at a rate of 85 gpm into the stream. The salts quickly become uniformly distributed in the stream. Downstream of the discharge point is a fishing spot. Because the fish cannot tolerate the salt concentrations above 200 mg/L, the NaCl concentration of effluent must...
