The mass of a colony of bacteria, in grams, is modeled by the function P given by P(t)=2+5tan−1(t2), where t is measured in days

. What is the instantaneous rate of change of the mass of the colony, in grams per day, at the moment the colony reaches a mass of 6 grams?

Answer:

<em>P'(1.015)=4.93 grams</em>

Explanation:

<u>Instantaneous Rate Of Change </u>

If one variable y is a function of another variable x, the rate of change can be measured by changing x by a small amount (dx) and computing the change in y (dy). The rate of change is

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}

When dx tends to zero, we call it the instantaneous rate of change and is easily computed as the first derivative of y

Note: We'll be using the standart notation atan for the inverse tangent

We are given the relation between the mass of a colony of bacteria in grams P(t) and the time t in days

P(t)=2+5atan(t^2)

Let's find its first derivative, recalling that

[atan(u)]'=\displaystyle \frac{u'}{1+u^2}

P'(t)=\displaystyle 5\frac{(t^2)'}{1+(t^2)^2}

P'(t)=\displaystyle 5\frac{2t}{1+t^4}

P'(t)=\displaystyle \frac{10t}{1+t^4}

We need to know the value of t, so we use the provided condition P=6 gr

P(t)=2+5atan(t^2)=6

\displaystyle atan(t^2)=\frac{4}{5}

\displaystyle (t^2)=tan\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{tan\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )}

\displaystyle t=1,015\ days

We use this value in the derivative:

P'(1.015)=\displaystyle \frac{10(1.015)}{1+(1.015)^4}

P'(1.015)=4.93\ grams

What unit can be used to measure the mass of a grain of salt
Anna007 [38]

milligrams

Explanation:

The best unit to measure the mass of a grain of salt is the milligram.

This is about; a thousandth of a gram.

  A grain of salt is a very small particle size that can still be visible with the eye.

It has a very low and small mass.

For substances like this, we use the milligram:

             1000milligram  = 1g
