Suppose Greeley, Colorado has its water supply contaminated. In other words, suppose upstream users (upper half of a watershed) damage the water quality for downstream users (lower half of the watershed).

  1. Describe, using economic terms, the loss of well being to Greeley’s municipal customers.

  1. Define the types of costs that may be inflicted on the city’s water treatment plant AND ILLUSTRATE WITH A GRAPH.

  1. Indicate at least two possible remedies (relying on course concepts) for the problems of contamination in (A) and (B).

Suppose 35% of homes in a Miami, Florida, neighborhood are under water (in other words, the amount due on the mortgage is larger than the value of the home). There are 160 homes in the neighborhood and 30 of those homes are owned by your friends. What is the probability that fewer than 30% of your friends' homes are under water? a. 0.2627 b. 0.2843 c. 0.6400 d. 0.7389 (No excel work)

Consider a problem involving tow rubber balls. The upper ball has half the mass of the lower ball. Both are dropped from the same height and so they arrive at thetable traveling downward at a given speed v0. Assume the lower ball bounces perfectly elastically off the table, and is now moving upward at v0, then bounces perfectlyelastically off the upper ball (which at that moment still moving downward at v0.) Find the final speed upward of the upper ball...

2) A pond holding 1,230,000 gallons has been contaminated with 150,000 pounds of salt. Pure water is pumped into the pond at a rate of 120 thousand gallons per hour and contaminated water is pumped from the pond at the same rate. The differential equation that models this situation is ?? / ?? = − 120? / 1230 where ?(0) = 150 where S is thousands of pounds of salt and t is hours. a) Solve the differential equation. b)...
