A soda can has a volume of 25 cubic inches. Let x denote its radius and h its height, both in inches. a. Using the fact that the volume of the can is 25 cubic inches, express h in terms of x. b. Express the total surface area S of the can in terms of x.
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.
Insect CannibalismIn certain species of flour beetles, the larvae cannibalize the unhatched eggs. In calculating the population cannibalism rate per egg, researchers need to evaluate the integral 0Ac(t)dt, where, A is the length of the larval stage and c(t) is the cannibalism rate per egg per larva of age t. The minimum value of A for the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is 17.6 days, which is the value we will use. The function c(t) starts at day 0 with a value 0, increases linearly to the value 0.024 at day 12, and then stays constant. Source: Journal of Animal Ecology. Find the values of the integral using a. formula from geometry; b. the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
