- a)Evaluate y at position x=0.5 b)Evaluate the derivative dy/dx at position x=0.5. c)Using your values from a) and b) form the Taylor's expansion of y at x=0.5, truncated to include the first 2 terms.arrow_forwardThe air in a room with volume 180 m3 contains 0.15% carbon dioxide initially. Fresher air with only 0.05% carbon dioxide flows into the room at a rate of 2 m3/min and the mixed air flows out at the same rate.Find the percentage of carbon dioxide in the room as a function of time t (in minutes).p(t) = What happens with the percentage of carbon dioxide in the room in the long run? lim t → ∞ p(t) = %arrow_forward1.Find limx→0 (1 − cos x)/x^2given that limx→0 sin x/x= 1.(b) Use the result in part (a) to derive the approximation cos x ≈ 1 −x^2/2as x approaches 0.(c) Use the result in part (b) to find the approximate value of cos(0.2). 2Given the function f(x) = a^xfor some real constant a.i) Use the properties of natural logarithm and exponential functions to findf'(x) = axM(a) and write M(a) as a natural logarithm.ii) Use the definition of derivative to show that f'(x) = axL(a) and write anexpression for L(a) as a limit.iii) Prove that M(a) is the limit of L(a).(b) [5 marks] Determine whether the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) can be appliedto the function f(x) = |2x − 1| on the closed interval [−2, 4]. If the MVT can beapplied, find value(s) c ∈ (−2, 4) such that f'(c) is parallel to the chord line joining (−2, f(−2)) and (4, f(4)). If the MVT cannot be applied, give a mathematicalargument to justify your claim.arrow_forward

(a) Find lim t→∞ v(t). b) How long does it take for the velocity of the rain drop to reach 99% of its terminal velocity? (Assume the conditions from part (b). Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardA colony of bacteria grows according to the law of uninhabited growth. The growth is modeled by the function N(t)=48e^0.375t where N is measured in grams and t is measured in days. How long will it take for the population to reach 2970 grams?arrow_forward
- Solve the initial value problem for x as a function of tarrow_forwardThe population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If N is the population of the colony and t is the time in days, express N as a function of t. Consider N0 is the original amount at t=0 and k≠0 is a constant that represents the growth rate.arrow_forwardan=(tan-1(n))/n, limn->infinity an=?arrow_forward
- Under certain conditions, the number of diseased cells N(t) at time t increases at a rate N'(t)=Aektwhere A is the rate of increase at time 0 (in cells per day) and k is a constant. a.Suppose A=50 and at 3 days, the cells are growing at a rate of 250 per day. Find a formula for the number of cells after t days, given that 300 cells are present at t=0. b.Use your answer from part a to find the number of cells present after 8 days.arrow_forwarda 1000-liter (L) tank contains 500 Lof water with asalt concentration of 10 g/L. Water with a salt concentration of 50 g/Lflows into the tank at a rate of Rin = 80 L/minutes (min). The fluidmixes instantaneously and is pumped out at a specified rate Rout. Lety(t) denote the quantity of salt in the tank at time t. Find the salt concentration when the tank overflows, assuming thatRout = 60 L/minarrow_forward
