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.

Determine the exponential function that passes through the points ( 2, 8) and (-1 1) (3 pts) Chparrow_forwardUse 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_forward1.

If there were initially 200 bacteria placed in the Petri dish, which function can be used to determine the number of bacteria in the Petri dish in y = 200 (0.82)* exactly x hours? y = 200 (1.18)" y = 200 (1.82)* 200 (0.18)"arrow_forward2. A plant that floats on the surface of rural bodies of water is known as duckweed. The initial mass of a population of duckweed is 500 kg. 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_forward

The world's population has grown at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year since 1945. There were approximately 4 billion people in the world in 1975. Which of the following functions represents the world's population P, in billions of people, t years since 1975? (1 billion = 1,000,000,000) *arrow_forwardIn the previous Problem Set question, we started looking at the position function s(t)st, the position of an object at time tt . Two important physics concepts are the velocity and the acceleration. If the current position of the object at time tt is s(t)st, then the position at time hh later is s(t+h)st+h. The average velocity (speed) during that additional time hh is (s(t+h)−s(t))hst+h−sth . If we want to analyze the instantaneous velocity at time tt, this can be made into a mathematical model by taking the limit as h→0h→0, i.e. the derivative s′(t)s′t. Use this function in the model below for the velocity function v(t)vt. The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so using the same logic, the acceleration function a(t)at can be modeled with the derivative of the velocity function, or the second derivative of the position function a(t)=v′(t)=s′′(t)at=v′t=s″t.
