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.

You need to split it in half then multply then add

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

100 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The large upper rectangle has dimensions 12 ft by 23 ft, and thus has area 276 ft^2. The small lower rectangle is 15 ft by (12 - 7) ft, or 15 t by 5 ft, and thus has area 75 ft^2. The total area is

75 ft^2 + 25 ft^2, or 100 ft^2.

How do I determine z ∈ C:

saw5 [17]

Simplify the coefficient of z on the left side. We do this by rationalizing the denominators and multiplying them by their complex conjugates:

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{3-2i}{1+i}\cdot\dfrac{1-i}{1-i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i}\cdot\dfrac{1-2i}{1-2i}$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{(3-2i)(1-i)}{1-i^2} - \dfrac{(5+3i)(1-2i)}{1-(2i)^2}$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{3 - 2i - 3i + 2i^2}{1-(-1)} - \dfrac{5 + 3i - 10i - 6i^2}{1-4(-1)}$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{3 - 5i + 2(-1)}2 - \dfrac{5 - 7i - 6(-1)}5$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{1 - 5i}2 - \dfrac{11 - 7i}5$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{1 - 5i}2\cdot\dfrac55 - \dfrac{11 - 7i}5\cdot\dfrac22$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = \dfrac{5 - 25i - 22 + 14i}{10}$

$\dfrac{3-2i}{1+i} - \dfrac{5+3i}{1+2i} = -\dfrac{17 + 11i}{10}$

So, the equation is simplified to

$-\dfrac{17+11i}{10} z = \dfrac12 - \dfrac{2i}5$

Let's combine the fractions on the right side:

$\dfrac12 - \dfrac{2i}5 = \dfrac12\cdot\dfrac55 - \dfrac{2i}5\cdot\dfrac22$

$\dfrac12 - \dfrac{2i}5 = \dfrac{5-4i}{10}$

Then

$-\dfrac{17+11i}{10} z = \dfrac{5-4i}{10}$

reduces to

$-(17+11i) z = 5-4i$

Multiply both sides by -1/(17 + 11i) :

$\dfrac{-(17+11i)}{-(17+11i)} z = \dfrac{5-4i}{-(17+11i)}$

$z = -\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i}$

Finally, simplify the right side:

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} \cdot \dfrac{17-11i}{17-11i}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{(5-4i)(17-11i)}{17^2-(11i)^2}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{85 - 68i - 55i + 44i^2}{289-121(-1)}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{85 - 68i - 55i + 44(-1)}{410}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{41 - 123i}{410}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{41 - 41\cdot3i}{410}$

$-\dfrac{5-4i}{17+11i} = -\dfrac{1 - 3i}{10}$

So, the solution to the equation is

$z = -\dfrac{1-3i}{10} = \boxed{-\dfrac1{10} + \dfrac3{10}i}$
