Q21E
Expert-verifiedNgozi opens a bank account with an initial balance of 1,000 Nigerian naira. Let b(t) be the balance in the account at time t; we are told that b(0) = 1,000. The bank is paying interest at a continuous rate of 5% per year. Ngozi makes deposits into the account at a continuous rate of s(t) (measured in naira per year). We are told that s(0) = 1,000 and that s(t) is increasing at a continuous rate of 7% per year. (Ngozi can save more as her income goes up over time.)
(a) set up a linear system of the form
(b) Find and .
(a) The solution is
(b) The solution
Let is the balance in the account at time and .
The bank is paying interest at a continuous rate of per year.
Ngozi makes deposits in to the account at a continuous rate of .
And is increasing at a continuous rate of per year also that .
The setup of a linear system as follows.
Since, the bank is already paying interest at a continuous rate of per year and Ngozi makes deposits into the account at a continuous rate of per year.
The first equation can written as follows.
Since, is increasing at a continuous rate of per year.
Therefore, the equation can be written as follows.
Hence, the setup of the linear system is
