2. It is a lesser-known fact that a Roomba (robotic vaccuum) cleans a house at a rate proportional to the amount of the house (in square feet) that is dirty. Assume that a 2100 square foot house starts entirely dirty when you turn on the Roomba. You check back later and notice that the house is three-fourths clean after \(3\ln (4)\) hours.
(a) Set up a differential equation to represent \( x(t)\) the square footage of the house that is clean at any point in time. You must solve for all of the coefficients in this equation. (You may need to solve the equation to do that.)
(b) Now, we add the fun part of this dynamic. Assume that we add a dog to the house that dirties the house at a rate of 50 square feet per hour. Set up a new initial value problem to model this situation with the dog involved.
(c) In the scenario in (b), what is the cleanest the house gets?
(d) Find an expression for the amount of time it will take for \(80\%\) of the house to be clean for the situation in (b).
