1. Determine the values of r, if any, such that y = erx is a solution of the differential equations given below.

a. y" + 6y' + 9y = 0

b. y" - 5y' + 6y = 0

c. y"' - 3y' + 2y = 0

2. A tank with a 1"0-gal capacity initially contains 5" gal of water that is polluted with 50 lb of particulate matter. At time t = 0, pure water is added at a rate of 20 gal/min and the mixed solution is drained off at a rate of 10 gal/min.

How much particulate matter is in the tank when it reaches the point of overflowing?
