- Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forwardYOUR TURN Suppose x are y are both functions of t and x3+2xy+y2=1. If x=1, y=2, and dxdt=6, then find dydt.arrow_forwardU.S. Hispanic Population A recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the U.S. Hispanic population will increase from 35.6 million in 2000 to 102.6 million in 2050. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Assuming the unlimited growth model dydt=ky fits this population growth, express the population y as a function of the year t. Let 2000 correspond to t=0.arrow_forward
- Distance Musk the friendly pit bull has escaped again Here is her velocity during the first 4seconds of her romp. t(sec) 0 1 2 3 4 v(ft/sec) 0 8 13 17 18 Give two estimates for the total distance Musk traveled during her 4seconds trip, one using the left endpoint of each interval and one using the right endpoint.arrow_forwardDecay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.arrow_forwardPlant 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_forward
- Find the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardUse the total differential to approximate each quantity. Then use a calculator to approximate the quantity, and give the absolute value of the differences in the two results to 4decimal places.
