Biologists have proposed a cubic polynomial to model the length l of alaskan rockfish at age a:l = 0.0155a3 − 0.372a2 + 3.95a +

1.21, where l is measured in inches and a is in years. (a) (2 pts) calculate dl da a=12 (b) (2 pts) interpret your answer.

(a) To answer this item, we are to differentiate the given equation, l, in terms of a. This is as shown below.

            dl/da = 3(0.0155)a² - 2(0.372)a + 3.95

Substituting the known value, a = 12
          dl/da = (3)(0.0155)(12)² - 2(0.372)(12) + 3.95

Simplify,
       dl/da = 1.718

(b) The answer in a tells us that the length of the alaskan rockfish will change at a rate of 1.718 inches/year when it is already 12 years old.

Two irrational and one rational number between 9 and 10
Rasek [7]
9.1 would be a rational number or 9.7 or 9.04 or any number between 9 and 10 that can also be written as a fraction.  

√82 or √96 would be an irrational  number that is between 9 and 10 or any square root larger than 81 since the √81 is 9   and below √100 since the √100= 10.

I need help with this math problem
cricket20 [7]
F(x) = 2(x + 3), now if we distribute the 2, we get 2x + 6.

we know the lbs of apple is "x", and therefore, the lbs of orange will be the constant 3.

2x will then stand for the price for "x" lbs of apples.

and 2*3 will stand for the price of "3" lbs of oranges, which is 6 bucks.

since the 2 is multiplying the lbs quantity, it must then be the price, so both cost 2 bucks each per pound.
