Textbook Question
Chapter 3.5, Problem 20E
It is suspected that the high amounts of tannin in mature oak leaves inhibit the growth of the winter moth (Operophtera bromata L. Geometridae) larvae that extensively damage these trees in certain years. The following table lists the average weight of two samples of larvae at times in the first 28 days after birth. The first sample was reared on young oak leaves, whereas the second sample was reared on mature leaves from the same tree.
- Use a natural cubic spline to approximate the average weight curve for each sample.
- Find an approximate maximum average weight for each sample by determining the maximum of the spline.

A conical glass, 10cm high and 8cm in diameter at the top is filled with an exquisite wine to a depth of 9cm. If a 3cm side (edge) ice cube is added to the cup, use the total differential to decide the validity of the statement that the cup spills.
The City Council proposed to utilize government-owned land with an area of 21,600 square meters. One-third of the area will be used to plant mango trees while the rest of the land is where an emergency field hospital shall be built. As the city engineer, you were tasked to determine the rate at which the total average number of COVID cases is increasing at x=10 tents and dxdt=1 tent per day,given that if 25 tents are built, the average number of COVID cases per tent will be 6 cases while the average number of cases will increase by 2 per tent for each additional tent in the same area due to overcrowding.
