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.

In a community of 10000 people, the rate at which a rumor spreads is jointly proportional to the number of people who have heard the rumor and the number of people of who have not heard it. When 20 people heard the rumor, it is being spread at the rate of 250 people per hour. Find a mathematical model expressing the rate at which the rumor is spreading as a function of the number of people who have heard it.arrow_forward2. The number of bacteria in a Petri dish increases by 18% every hour. 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_forward

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_forward2.

A lake with a surface area of 60 000 m² has been infected with an invasive algae species. At this moment, the algae take up only 8 m² of the lake's surface, but the area covered by the algae increases constantly. More specifically, the area covered by algae grows by a quarter every week. Let A be the surface of the pond (in m²) that is covered by the algae after t weeks. a. Find an expression for the function A(t). b. How long does it take for the algae to cover the full surface of the lake? c. Make a graph of the function A(t). d. Now make a graph of the function A(t) with a logarithmic scale on the vertical axis and a normal scale on the horizontal axis. What do you notice? Explain!arrow_forward
