Answer:
<em>The correct answer choice is: B</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Culture A</u>
Initial number of cells = 1000
The number of cells is raised by 200 each day and every day thereafter.
So, the number of cells raised in one month(30 days)
Thus, the total number of cells in culture A at the end of one month will be:
<u>Culture B</u>
Initial number of cells = 1000
The number of cells is increased by 8% each day and every day thereafter.
<em>Formula for exponential growth is:</em> , where
Initial amount,
Final amount,
Rate of growth in decimal form and
Time duration.
Using the above formula, the number of cells after 30 days will be.....
That means, Culture B is more effective in promoting cell growth.
Answer: (a) Interval where f is increasing: (0.78,+∞);
Interval where f is decreasing: (0,0.78);
(b) Local minimum: (0.78, - 0.09)
(c) Inflection point: (0.56,-0.06)
Interval concave up: (0.56,+∞)
Interval concave down: (0,0.56)
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) To determine the interval where function f is increasing or decreasing, first derive the function:
f'(x) = [
]
Using the product rule of derivative, which is: [u(x).v(x)]' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x).v'(x),
you have:
f'(x) =
f'(x) =
f'(x) =
Now, find the critical points: f'(x) = 0
= 0
x = 0
and
x =
x = 0.78
To determine the interval where f(x) is positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing), evaluate the function at each interval:
interval x-value f'(x) result
0<x<0.78 0.5 f'(0.5) = -0.22 decreasing
x>0.78 1 f'(1) = 1 increasing
With the table, it can be concluded that in the interval (0,0.78) the function is decreasing while in the interval (0.78, +∞), f is increasing.
Note: As it is a natural logarithm function, there are no negative x-values.
(b) A extremum point (maximum or minimum) is found where f is defined and f' changes signs. In this case:
- Between 0 and 0.78, the function decreases and at point and it is defined at point 0.78;
- After 0.78, it increase (has a change of sign) and f is also defined;
Then, x=0.78 is a point of minimum and its y-value is:
f(x) =
f(0.78) =
f(0.78) = - 0.092
The point of <u>minimum</u> is (0.78, - 0.092)
(c) To determine the inflection point (IP), calculate the second derivative of the function and solve for x:
f"(x) = [
]
f"(x) =
f"(x) =
= 0
and
Substituing x in the function:
f(x) =
f(0.56) =
f(0.56) = - 0.06
The <u>inflection point</u> will be: (0.56, - 0.06)
In a function, the concave is down when f"(x) < 0 and up when f"(x) > 0, adn knowing that the critical points for that derivative are 0 and 0.56:
f"(x) =
f"(0.1) =
f"(0.1) = - 0.21, i.e. <u>Concave</u> is <u>DOWN.</u>
f"(0.7) =
f"(0.7) = + 1.33, i.e. <u>Concave</u> is <u>UP.</u>
