- 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_forwardInsect 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.arrow_forwardConcentration of a solute According to the Ficks law, the diffusion of a solute across a cell membrane is given by c(t)=kAV[Cc(t)],(1) Where A is the area of the cell membrane, V is the volume of the cell, ct is the concentration inside the cell at time t, C is the concentration outside the cell, and k is constant. If co represents the concentration of the solute inside the cell when t = 0, then it can be shown that c(t)=(c0C)ekAt/V+C.(2) a. Use the last result to find c(t). b. Substitute back into Equation 1 to show that 2 is indeed the correct antiderivative of 1.arrow_forward
