Between the ages 2 and 20, the weight W of an American boy is logistic function of his age. For boys at the 50 percentile, the differential equation for W can be approximated by 4W = 0.0008W (216 - W), where W is measured in pounds and t is measured in years beyond the age of 2. Express W as a function of t subject to the initial condition W(0) = 24

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

the answer is 8.64
