The growth function per hour is
f(x) = 5500(1.65)ˣ

To find the growth rate per hour, we should find the derivative of f(x).
Take the natural log of the equation.
ln(f) = ln[5500(1.65)ˣ]
      = ln(5500) + x ln(1.65)

Take the derivative with respect to x.
f'/f = ln(1.65) = 0.5
Therefore the derivative is
f' = 0.5f
   = 2750(1.65)ˣ
   = 275000(1.65)ˣ percent or 2.75 x 10⁵ (1.65)ˣ percent

Answer:
f^{'} \equiv \frac{df}{dx}=2.75\times10^{5}(1.65)^{x}\,percent

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t i
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.

Create an inequality that represents this situation:

-16t^2+81 The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.

The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:

-16t^2 then divide both sides by -16:

t^2>4 Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is

t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.
