Normal lines A normal line at a point P on a curve passes through P and is perpendicular to the line tangent to the curve at P (see figure). Use the following equations and graphs to determine an equation of the normal line at the given point. Illustrate your work by graphing the curve with the normal line.

- Breast Cancer Growth Researchers used a version of the Gompertz curve to model the growth of breast cancer tumors with the equation N(t)=ec(1ekt) where N(t) is the number of cancer cells after t days, c=27.3 and k=0.011. Find the inflection point and describe what it signifies. Source: Cancer Research.arrow_forwardThermal Inversion When there is a thermal inversion layer over a city as happens often in Los Angeles, pollutants cannot rise vertically but are trapped below the layer and must disperse horizontally. Assume that a factory smokestack begins emitting a pollutant at 8 A.M. Assume that the pollutant disperses horizontally, forming a circle. If t represents the time in hours since the factory began emitting pollutants t=0 represents 8 A.M., assume that the radius of the circle of pollution is rt=2t miles. Let Ar=r2 represents the area of a circle of radius r. a. Find and interpret Art. b. Find and interpret DtArt when t=4.arrow_forward
