- A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 13,500 cm³. Find the dimensions that minimise the amount of material used. Ensure you show your working to demonstrate that it is a minimum.arrow_forwardConsider the equation, f(x) = x*. (a) Using the trapezoidal method with 3 columns, estimate the value of the integral f² f(x)dx. (b) Using the trapezoidal method with 10 columns, estimate the value of the integral f² f(x)dx. You many need software to help you do this (e.g. MATLAB, Excel, Google sheets). (c) Use software to accurately calculate the integral (e.g. Wolfram alpha, Matlab). Using this answer, comment on the answers you found in parts a) and b).arrow_forwardUsing the first-principles definition of differentiation, find the derivative of f(x) = = 2x²arrow_forward

The growth rate for the volume of the tumour V(t) in cm³ is given by dV = 1.45V(2 In(V+1)). dt (a) (4 pts) Find all the equilibria and determine their stability using the stability condition. (b) (2 pts) Draw the phase plot f(V) versus V where f(V) = V'. You may find it helpful to use Desmos or Wolfram Alpha to plot the graph of f(V) versus V (both are free to use online), or you can plot it by hand if you like. On the plot identify each equilibrium as stable or unstable. (c) (4 pts) Draw direction arrows for the case where the tumour starts at size 3cm³ and for the case where the tumour starts at size 9cm³. Explain in biological terms what happens to the size of each of these tumours at time progresses.arrow_forward

The engineer decides to do it in three sections. The first section runs from point P to point Q, and costs $48 per mile to lay, the second section runs from point Q to point R and costs $54 per mile, the third runs from point R to point S and costs $44 per mile. Looking at the diagram below, you see that if you know the lengths marked x and y, then you know the positions of Q and R. Find the values of x and y which minimize the cost of the pipeline. Please show your answers to 4 decimal places. 2 Miles x = 1 Mile R 10 miles miles y = milesarrow_forward
