Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must start by graphing the given function and finding the differential area we will use to set our integral up. (See attached picture).
The formula we will use for this problem is the following:
where:
a=0
so the volume becomes:
This can be simplified to:
and the integral can be rewritten like this:
which is a standard integral so we solve it to:
so we get:
which yields:
]
We have the equation of the line as follows:
y = 0.5x + 79
We want to calculate the melting point (the y value) of DNA with 50% gc content (the x value).
The gc content represents the value of x in the equation, so to calculate the melting point (y), we will simply substitute the x with 50 in the equation of the line as follows:
melting point = 0.5(50) + 79 = 25 + 79 = 104 degrees
Answer:
xy
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = xy because of the addition sign
