Model each application with a differential equation. All rates are assumed to be with respect to time. The voltage drop across an inductor is proportional to the rate at which the current is changing with respect to time.

With your group, review "The Return" to identify elements of foreshadowing and situational irony in the story. Then, individually, complete the charts to understand how foreshadowing sets up expectations that affect situational irony. Finally, gauge the impact of situational irony on what the story says about homecomings.

$$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|}\hline & \text{FORESHADOWING IN "THE RETURN"} & \\\hline \text{STORY CLUES} & \text{QUESTIONS RAISED} & \text{WHAT THE CLUES SUGGEST}\\ \hline \\ \hline \\ \hline \\ \hline & \text{SITUATIONAL IRONY IN "THE RETURN"} & \\ \hline \text{EXPECTATIONS} & \text{WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS} & \text{CONNECTION TO THE STORY'S MEANING}\\ \hline \\ \hline \\ \hline \\ \hline \end{array}$$

The U.S. population is approximated by the function $P(t)=\frac{616.5}{1+4.02 e^{-0.5 t}}$ where P(t) is measured in millions of people and t is measured in 30-year intervals, with t = 0 corresponding to 1930. What is the expected population of the United States in 2020 (t=3)?

Find the steady-state vector.

The growth rate of the bacterium Escherichia coli, a common bacterium found in the human intestine, is proportional to its size. Under ideal laboratory conditions, when this bacterium is grown in a nutrient broth medium, the number of cells in a culture doubles approximately every 20 min. a. If the initial cell population is 100, determine the function Q(t) that expresses the exponential growth of the number of cells of this bacterium as a function of time t (in minutes). b. How long will it take for a colony of 100 cells to increase to a population of 1 million? If the initial cell population were 1000, how would this alter our model?

Find the derivative of the function. $f(x)=3 x^{2} \ln 2 x$

The methods of this section apply to physical systems with more than one degree of freedom. Suppose there are two displacements, $y_{1}$ and $y_{2}$, with associated velocities $v_{1}=y_{1}^{\prime}$ and $v_{2}=y_{2}^{\prime}$, and suppose that the system is modeled by the system of equations $\mathbf{y}^{\prime \prime}=\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{y})$, where $\mathbf{y}=\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)^{T}$, and the forcing term is $\mathbf{f}=\left(f_{1}, f_{2}\right)^{T}$. We also put the velocities into the vector $\mathbf{v}=\left(v_{1}, v_{2}\right)^{T}$. Then we can rewrite the second order system as the first-order system

$$\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{y}^{\prime}=\mathbf{v} \\ \mathbf{v}^{\prime}=\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{y}). \end{array}$$

We will say that this system is conservative if there is a function $U(\mathrm{y})$ such that $\partial U / \partial y_{1}=-f_{1}$ and $\partial U / \partial y_{2}=-f_{2}$. Show that if the system is conservative, then the total energy $E(y, v)=\frac{1}{2}|\mathbf{v}|^{2}+U(\mathbf{y})=\frac{1}{2}\left(v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}\right)+U(\mathbf{y})$ is a conserved quantity for the first-order system.

Prove that if p is a prime and P is a non-abelian group of order $p^{3}$ then $\Phi(P)=Z(P)$ and

$$P / \Phi(P) \cong Z_{p} \times Z_{p}.$$

Deduce that P has p + 1 maximal subgroups.

A woman getting dressed up for a night out is asked by her significant other to wear a red dress, high-heeled sneakers, and a wig. In how many orders can she put on these objects?
