Question 2[Differential Equations]
(a) Classify the following Ordinary Differential Equations by completing the fol-
lowing table.
(b) A tank contains 40 gallons of a solution composed of 90% water and 10%
alcohol. A second solution containing half water and half alcohol is added to
the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. At the same time, the tank is
being drained at the rate of 4 gallons per minute constantly,Assuming that the
solution is stirred constantly.
