Answer:
a) Given expression,
12% of 312
Since 100% of 312 = 312
⇒ 10% of 312 = 31.2,
⇒ 1% = 3.12
⇒ 2% = 2 × 3.12 = 6.24
So, 12% of 312 = 10% of 312 + 2% of 312
= 31.2 + 6.24
= 37.44
b) Given,
Total number of servings = 312,
The percentage of vitamin C in each serving = 12%,
Thus, the total amount of the vitamin C in 312 servings = 12% of 312
= 37.44,
Hence, the question can be asked about the total amount of the vitamin C.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So, the function, P(t), represents the number of cells after t hours.
This means that the derivative, P'(t), represents the instantaneous rate of change (in cells per hour) at a certain point t.
C)
So, we are given that the quadratic curve of the trend is the function:
To find the <em>instanteous</em> rate of growth at t=5 hours, we must first differentiate the function. So, differentiate with respect to t:
Expand:
Move the constant to the front using the constant multiple rule. The derivative of a constant is 0. So:
Differentiate. Use the power rule:
Simplify:
So, to find the instantaneous rate of growth at t=5, substitute 5 into our differentiated function:
Multiply:
Subtract:
This tells us that at <em>exactly</em> t=5, the rate of growth is 51.72 cells per hour.
And we're done!
