- Plant Growth Researchers have found that the probability P that a plant will grow to radius R can be described by the differential equation dPdR=4DRP2 where D is the density of the plants in an area. Source: Ecology. Given the initial condition P(0)=1, find a formula for P in term of R.arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between the average rate of change of y as x changes a to b, and the instantaneous rate of change of y at x=aarrow_forward
- Use the total differential to approximate each quantity. Then use a calculator to approximate the quantity, and give the absolute value of the differences in the two results to 4decimal places. (1.922+2.12)13arrow_forwardThe following table provides values of the function f(x,y). However, because of potential; errors in measurement, the functional values may be slightly inaccurately. Using the statistical package included with a graphical calculator or spreadsheet and critical thinking skills, find the function f(x,y)=a+bx+cy that best estimate the table where a, b and c are integers. Hint: Do a linear regression on each column with the value of y fixed and then use these four regression equations to determine the coefficient c. x y 0 1 2 3 0 4.02 7.04 9.98 13.00 1 6.01 9.06 11.98 14.96 2 7.99 10.95 14.02 17.09 3 9.99 13.01 16.01 19.02arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forward
