Answer:

V(t) = b^{(1-e^{-at})}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = a (In b - In V) V

where a > 0 and b > 0.

\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = a (In b-In V) V\\\\\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = -aV(ln\frac{V}{b})\\\\\frac{dV}{V(ln\frac{V}{b})} = (-a)dt\\\\\text{Put } ln\frac{V}{b} = z\\\\\text{Integrating both sides}\\\\\int \frac{dV}{V(ln\frac{V}{b})} = \int (-a)dt\\\\\text{We get}\\\\\int \frac{dz}{z} = \int (-a)dt\\\\\\\text{where C is the constant of integration}

V(0) = 1~ mm^3\\V(t) = b.e^{e^{-at+C}}\\\text{Putting t =0, V(0) = 1}\\\\V(0) = 1 = b.e^{e^{C}}\\\\V(t) = b^{(1-e^{-at})}

where v(t) is the required tumor volume as a function of time that has an initial tumor volume of V(0) = 1 cubic mm.

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function p(x) = 20(1.014)x , where x represents the number of days
Nitella [24]

Answer:

20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits

the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100 is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function

p(x) = 20(1.014)^x

This model is exponential. Where 20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits with 1.4% increase rate of the rabbits

To find the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100,

find the population p(50) and p(100). Subtract them and divide by 100 - 50 = 50. 

p(50) = 20(1.014)50 = 40.08... 

p(100) = 20(1.014)100 = 80.32... 

(80.32 - 40.08) / (100 - 50) = 40.24/50 = 0.8048. which is approximately 0.8 to the nearest tenth. 

The rate of change is 0.8.

What is the width of a rectangle with length 5.5 cm and area 220 cm^2
Reika [66]
In the given question it is given that the length of the rectangle is 5.5 cm and the area of the rectangle is 220 cm^2.
Length of the rectangle = 5.5 cm
Area of the rectangle = 220 cm^2
Then we already know that
Area of a rectangle = Length * width
So Width of the rectangle = Area of the rectangle/ Length
                                           = 220/5.5
                                           = 2200/55
                                           = 40
So the width of the rectangle is 40 cm.<span>Hope  that you have got the answer you were looking for.
