Question

Transcribed Image Text:The number of field mice in a certain pasture is given by the function 200 – 10t, where time t is
measured in years. Express a differential equation that models the population of owls, P(t), that feed on
the mice if the rate at which the owl population grows is proportional to the difference between the
number of owls at time t and number of field mice at time t, for t > 0.

This can be modeled by the differential equation =k(TA), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is dT dt the ambient temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality. Suppose that a cup of coffee begins at 179 degrees and, after sitting in room temperature of 62 degrees for 14 minutes, the coffee reaches 170 degrees. How long will it take before the coffee reaches 160 degrees? Include at least 2 decimal places in your answer. minutesarrow_forwardThe half-life of krypton-91 (91Kr) is 10 s.
