Basic MathDoes the function y(t) = 4e-6t satisfy the following initial value problem?
y' (t)-6y(t) = 0, y(0) = 4
Choose the correct answer below.
No, because the initial condition does not satisfy the original function, so the original function cannot satisfy the initial value problem.
Yes, because the initial condition satisfies the original function, so the original function must satisfy the initial value problem.
No, because when y and y' are substituted into the equation, the result is not a true statement.
Yes, because when y and y' are substituted into the equation, the result is a true statement.

Basic MathResearchers in Antarctica discovered a warm sea current under a glacier that is causing the glacier to melt. The ice shelf of the glacier had a thickness of approximately 450 m when it was first discovered. The thickness of the ice shelf is decreasing at an average rate of 0.06 m per day. Which function can be used to find the thickness of the ice shelf in meters x days since the discovery?
t(x)= 450 -0.06x
t(x)= -0.06(x+450)
t(x)= 450+ 0.06x
t(x)= 0.06 (x+450)
