Answer: The initial number of fungi in the culture is 2248.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of growth for a certain type of fungi = 70% per hour

Number of hours = 6

Number of fungi = 54,273

So,we  will apply the exponential function :

A=A_0(1+r)^t

Here, A = 54,273

r = 70% = 0.7

t = 6

So, our equation becomes,

54,273=A_0(1+0.7)^6\\\\54,273=A_0(1.7)^6\\\\\dfrac{54273}{1.7^6}=A_0\\\\A_0=2248.48\approx 2248

Hence, the initial number of fungi in the culture is 2248.

54,273 = A * 1.70^6       where A  is the initial number
 A = 54273/1.70^6 =   2248

Find the value of x that maximized the volume of the following:
Shtirlitz [24]

Check the picture below.

as you can see, the graph of the volume function comes from below goes up up up, reaches a U-turn then goes down down, U-turns again then back up to infinity.

the maximum is reached at the close up you see in the picture on the right-side.

Why we don't use a higher value from the graph since it's going to infinity?

well, "x" is constrained by the lengths of the box, specifically by the length of the smaller side, namely 5 - 2x, so whatever "x" is, it can't never zero out the smaller side, and that'd happen when x = 2.5, how so? well 5 - 2(2.5) = 0, so "x" whatever value is may be, must be less than 2.5, but more than 0, and within those constraints the maximum you see in the picture is obtained.
