Question
A culture of cells in a lab has a population of 100 cells when nutrients are added at time t = 0. Suppose the population N(t) (in cells/hr) increases at a
rate given by N'(t) = 90e-0.1t.
Find N(t), for t ≥ 0.

The radius of the circle does not change, but the length the rectangle is decreasing at the 10 constant rate of 8 cm·s-1. Let A be the area of the rectangle (measured in cm2).

Let P represent the number of female insects in a population and S the number of sterile males introduced each generation. Let r be the per capita rate of production of females by females, provided that their chosen mate is not sterile. Then the female population is related to time t by t = ∫(P + S)dP/P[(r-1)P - S] Suppose an insect population with 10,000 females grows at a rate of r = 1.2 and 900 sterile males are added initially. Evaluate the integral to give an equation relating the female population to time. (Note that the resulting equation cannot be solved explicitly for P.)arrow_forwardA sample contains 560 grams of Uranium-232, a radioactive isotope, that decays according to the function N(t) = 560e-0.010060t, where t is in years.Find the rate at which the Uranium-232 is decaying when t = 20 years.
