Linear first order equations: Examples, Applications
Warm Up:
1. A tank has \(4\text{ L}\) of water \(32\text{ gm}\) of salt is mixed What is the concentration of the salt solution
\[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Amount of Solute}}{\text{Volume of Liquid}} = \frac{32}{4}\text{ gm/L} = 8\text{ gm/L} \]
2. Suppose \(4\text{ L/min}\) of salt solution is being added, and there is a hole at bottom that leaks the solution at \(2\text{ L/min}\). What is the volume of solution after \(5\text{ mins}\).
\(\text{initial} = 4\text{ L}\)
\(\text{increasing } 2\text{ L/min}\)
\(5\text{ mins} \implies 4 + (2 \times 5) = \underline{\underline{14\text{ L}}}\)
