Given that
1625−4x2≡A25−2x+B25+2x \frac{1}{625 - 4x^2} \equiv \frac{A}{25 - 2x} + \frac{B}{25 + 2x} 625−4x21≡25−2xA+25+2xBfind the values of constants AAA and BBB.
A storage tank for a chemical reactor is in the shape of a cuboid with a base of length 2.5 metres and width 2 metres. The tank is 1.2 metres deep. Initially, the tank is empty. A chemical solution is pumped into the tank from the top at a constant rate of 0.25 cubic metres per minute.
Due to a fault in the drainage valve, the solution simultaneously leaks out from the bottom at a rate of 0.04d20.04d^20.04d2 cubic metres per minute, where ddd is the depth of the solution in metres.
At time ttt minutes after the pumping begins, the volume of solution in the tank is VVV cubic metres.
(b)(i) Show that
dVdt=625−4V22500 \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{625 - 4V^2}{2500} dtdV=2500625−4V2Hence, find an expression for ttt in terms of VVV.
Determine how long it takes for the tank to be completely filled with the chemical solution. Give your answer to the nearest minute.
