A rectangular box for a new product is designed in such a way that the three dimensions always have a particular relationship defined by the variable x. The volume of the box can be written as (6x^3)+(31x^2)+(53x)+30, and the height is always x+2. What are the width and length of the box?

A biochemist is testing the eﬀect of a new antibiotic on a particular mould growing in a petri dish. Without the antibiotic the mould grows as a circular patch with the radius increasing with time according to r = 0.5tcm where t is measured in hours since the mould was introduced to the petri dish. The area of the mould is given by A = πr^2, the area of a disc of radius r. When the radius of the disc reaches 2cm the biochemist introduces the antibiotic. This causes the radius of the disc to reduce according to r = 2−√t cm where t is measured in hours since the antibiotic was introduced. (a) What was the time duration of the entire experiment (from the introduction of the mould until its disappearance)? (b) Graph the radius of the disc against elapsed time since the start of the experiment. (c) How fast was the area of the disc increasing (cm^2/hour) just before the antibiotic was introduced?(d) What was the maximum area of the disc? (e) How fast was the area of the disc decreasing…
