- Consider the example of injection moulding of a rubber component as shown in Figure Q3(b). The process engineer would like to optimise the strength of the component by optimising the following factors: temperature = 190°C and 210°C, pressure = 50 MPa and 100 MPa, and speed of injection = 10 mm/s and 50 mm/s. What type of mathematical model that the engineer can develop if the relationship is linear and no interactions are significant? Write down the general equation that relates the strength of the component with the process factors.arrow_forwardFind general solutions of the systems in Problem Attached. Use a computer system or graphing calculator to construct a direction field and typical solution curves for the given system.arrow_forwardConstruct a model for the number of cats, y, after x months that make use of the following assumptions: 1. It begins with two cats – one female and one male, both unneutered. 2. Each litter is composed of 4 kittens – 3 males and 1 female. 3. It takes four months before a new generation of cats is born. 4. No cat dies (all are healthy) and no new cats are introduced.arrow_forward
- A new town was incorporated in 1960. The size of the town's population was recorded every 5 years after 1960. Using the variables x, for number of years since 1960, and y, for the size of the population, three models were created to predict the population from the number of years since 1960.arrow_forwardFind the production schedule for the technology matrix and demand vector given below: 0.4 0.1 5 A = 0.4 0.6 0.8 D =| 8 0.1 0.3 0.2 X = 3.arrow_forwardGiven the following figure and information, solve for the following: A.

- An ecologist models the interaction between the tree frog (P) and insect (N) populations of a small region of a rainforest using the Lotka-Volterra predator prey model. The insects are food for the tree frogs. The model has nullclines at N=0, N=500, P=0, and P=75. Suppose the small region of the rainforest currently has 800 insects and 50 tree frogs. In the short term, the model predicts the insect population will • and the tree frog population will At another point time, a researcher finds the region has 300 insects and 70 tree frogs. In the short term, the model predicts the insect population will * and the tree frog population willarrow_forwardWest Gorham High School is to be located at the population center of gravity of three communities: Westbrook, population 17,500, Scarborough, population 23,000, and Gorham, population 33,500.
