Question
Several hundred years in the future, humans discover an alien world named Noveria. On Noveria, time is measured in pjokas, which is equivalent to 5.93 seconds, There are 7 pjok in every pjokas (much like there are 60 seconds in a minute). If a Noverian alien watches 40 mok of cat videos, how many minutes is this?

If a bacteria culture contains 10 FAST bacteria at time t= 0, the number of FAST bacteria in the culture later time 't' is N(t) = 10 +6t +2t2 where 't' is expressed in seconds. How many bacteria occupy the culture a time t = 10s? At t =11s? Calculate how many net bacteria were born during the interval between t=10 and t=11, assume no bacteria died. Now use calculus to find the birth rate of bacteria (rate at which new bacteria get born) at time t=10s, it may help to sketch a rouch graphy of N vs 't'.arrow_forward
