Let us now imagine population flux through Isla Nublar ( the island where Jurassic Park is located ) . Visitors are transported in and out

Let us now imagine population flux through Isla Nublar (the island where Jurassic Park is located). Visitors
are transported in and out on cable cars. We can model this as a mixing problem! Suppose the island has
100 cable cars and 10000 visitors at the beginning of the day, with 5 cable cars arriving and 10 cable cars
departing every hour. Assume that each arriving cable car contains 300 people, and each departing flight
carries the average number of people per available cable car on the island at that moment. (We will assume
that t is measured in hours.) Finally, some of the visitors on the island decide to take a ferry to the nearby
Muertes Archipelago. We will assume that the rate of such departures is 10(t+11+t) visitors per hour.
(a) Setup the initial value problem for the number of visitors on the island, x(t). Hint: To draw an analogy
to the lectures, the cable cars are the water and the people are the salt. Don't forget that this "tank" is
leaking some "salt-water solution" to the archipelago nearby!
(b) Next, solve the mixing problem using the "ode45" function on MATLAB, over the time interval 0,15,
i.e, for the first 15 hours of operation. Plot the solution x(t) against t, and make sure you label the axes.
(c) Finally, using a "for" loop, and Euler's method described below, find the solution to the mixing problem
(d) Repeat part (c) with time-steps of 15,30,60 minutes. (Keep in mind that t is measured in hours!) Plot
all these solutions on the same figure as the one containing part (c). Use different colors for the curves,
and include a "Legend" to identify them. (If the curves are indistinguishably close to each other, use
some other values for the time-steps.)
(e) Compare the plots from parts (c) and (d) to the one from (b), which is considered to be the "exact"
solution. What happens to the solutions in (c) and (d) as you change the time-step?
