In Problems 57–61, the length of a plant, L, is a function of its mass, M. A unit increase in a plant’s mass stretches the plant’s length more when the plant is small, and less when the plant is large.57 Assuming M > 0, decide if the function agrees with the description.

- Use the Jesaki Inc Information Below to Solve Questions 1- Below 1) Jesaki Inc estimates that it will sell N(x) units of product after spending $x thousand on advertising, as given by N(x) = -0.45 x^4 + 46 x^3 1,079 x x^2+ 161,973. What is the point of diminishing returns? Round to the nearest dollar. 2) The number x of bicycle helmets Jesaki Inc is willing to sell per week at a price of $p is given by x = a/p + b-c, where a = 80, b = 26, and c = 414. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the supply with respect to price when the price is $79. Round to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places). 3) Jesaki Inc sponsered a blood drive following mathematical model relating systolic blood pressure and age: P(x) = a + bln(x+1), where P(x) is pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury, and x is age in years. By examining Guilford County hospital records, they estimate the values for Guilford County to be a = 43 and b = 27. Using this model, estimate the rate of change of pressure with…arrow_forwardPlease answer the question in 20 mints plzzzzz and gets thumbuparrow_forward7.

The mass of the population triples every 45 hours and can be represented by the function m(t) = 500 · 3, where t is time in hours. Determine how many hours it would take for the duckweed to grow to a mass triple the original size.arrow_forward1.

For example, beginning with 1 million bacteria, the amount present t days from the time streptomycin is introduced is given by the function A(t) = 1,000,000(2)-t/10. Rounding to the nearest thousand, determine how many bacteria are present after 1 week.arrow_forward2. Sometimes after a patient takes a drug, the amount of medication A in the bloodstream can be modeled by A Age Tt, where Ao is the initial concentration in milligrams per liter, r is the hourly percentage decrease (in decimal form) of the drug in the bloodstream, and t is the elapsed time in hours. Suppose that a drug's concentration is initially 2 milligrams per liter and thatr - 0.2.
