Question
(a) Reread Problem 8 of Exercises 3.3. In that problem you were asked to show that the system of differential equations
\(\frac{d x_{1}}{d t}=-\frac{1}{50} x_{1}\)
\(\frac{d x_{2}}{d t}=\frac{1}{50} x_{1}-\frac{2}{75} x_{2}\)
\(\frac{d x_{3}}{d t}=\frac{2}{75} x_{2}-\frac{1}{25} x_{3}\)
is a model for the amounts of salt in the connected mixing tanks A, B, and C shown in Figure 3.3.7. Solve the system subject to \(x_{1}(0)=15\), \(x_{2}(t)=10\), \(x_{3}(t)=5\).
(b) Use a CAS to graph \(x_{1}(t)\), \(x_{2}(t)\), and \(x_{3}(t)\) in the same coordinate plane (as in Figure 4.9.1) on the interval [0, 200].
(c) Because only pure water is pumped into Tank A, it stands to reason that the salt will eventually be flushed out of all three tanks. Use a root-finding application of a CAS to determine the time when the amount of salt in each tank is less than or equal to 0.5 pound. When will the amounts of salt \(x_{1}(t)\), \(x_{2}(t)\), and \(x_{3}(t)\) be simultaneously less than or equal to 0.5 pound?
