Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The range is set of all y-values. The range starts from minimum value to maximum value.
We don't have minimum value (approaching negative infinity.)
We have maximum value at x ≈ 2 equal 6.
Therefore the answer is
-inf <= y <= 6. But we don't usually write that. Instead, we cut out -inf and we get —
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So, the function, P(t), represents the number of cells after t hours.
This means that the derivative, P'(t), represents the instantaneous rate of change (in cells per hour) at a certain point t.
C)
So, we are given that the quadratic curve of the trend is the function:
To find the <em>instanteous</em> rate of growth at t=5 hours, we must first differentiate the function. So, differentiate with respect to t:
Expand:
Move the constant to the front using the constant multiple rule. The derivative of a constant is 0. So:
Differentiate. Use the power rule:
Simplify:
So, to find the instantaneous rate of growth at t=5, substitute 5 into our differentiated function:
Multiply:
Subtract:
This tells us that at <em>exactly</em> t=5, the rate of growth is 51.72 cells per hour.
And we're done!
