Question 11

Multiple Choice

 A calf that weighs 70 pounds at birth gains weight at the rate dwdt=k(1200w) \text { A calf that weighs } 70 \text { pounds at birth gains weight at the rate } \frac { d w } { d t } = k ( 1200 - w ) \text {, } where ww is weight in pounds and tt is time in years. Use a computer algebra system to solve the differential equation for k=0.9k = 0.9 .


A) w=70e0.9tw = 70 e ^ { - 0.9 t }
B) w=1130e0.9tw = 1130 e ^ { - 0.9 t }
C) w=12001130e0.9tw = 1200 - 1130 e ^ { - 0.9 t }
D) w=11300.9etw = 1130 - 0.9 e ^ { - t }
E) w=1200et1130e0.9tw = 1200 e ^ { t } - 1130 e ^ { - 0.9 t }
