Find the equation of the first derivative of D(x).arrow_forwardWrite a plot of a Gaussian function with x-axis range from -3 to +3 and y-axis range from 0 to 1.2arrow_forward
- The photic zone of the ocean is also known as the sunlight layer. It is the region in which phyto- plankton live and can undergo photosynthesis. The depth of the photic zone varies depending on how murky the water is — “murkiness” is caused by, for example, tiny particles of sediment that absorb light. The aphotic zone is defined as being the depth beyond which more than 99% of the light from the surface has already been absorbed. The bioluminescence photon emission curve plotted at the start of this question is for an idealised experiment carried out in a laboratory. The measurement is performed using a light detector in a dark fish tank filled with clear water. Would you expect the observed R(t) to change if the measurement was instead performed in situ in the ocean during the daytime (i) in the photic zone in clear water, and (ii) in the aphotic zone in murky water? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardCyclic neutropenia is a blood disorder in humans characterized by periodic fluctuations in the density of a certain kind of blood cell called neutrophils. The density of neutrophils reaches highs of around 2000 cellsymL of blood and lows near zero. The period of fluctuations is approximately three weeks. Model the temporal dynamics of neutrophils in days, assuming that the density is at its highest on day 0.arrow_forwardThe Sumeru Akademiya wants to manufacture Canned Knowledge in literal cylindrical cans that could contain 500cm3 worth of information. The material in the top and bottom of the can is made of Crystal Ores that cost 0.02 Mora (a unit of currency) per square centimeter. The material in the side is made up of Cor Lapis that would cost 0.01 Mora per square centimeter. a. Model a function that outputs the cost of production C in terms of r (the radius of the can) and h (the height of the can). b. Use the can volume to express in terms of r c. Use your answer in (b) to create a one-variable function for the cost as expressed as C(x) d. What is the type of function in (c)? What will be the domain of the function?

- The monthly cost C, in dollars, for wirelessdata plans with x gigabytes of data included is shown in thetable on the top left column of the next page. Since eachinput value for x corresponds to exactly one output valuefor C, the plan cost is a function of the number of datagigabytes. Thus C1x2 represents the monthly cost for awireless data plan with x gigabytes included. (a) Plot the points 14, 702, 16, 802, 110, 1002, and so on ina Cartesian plane.(b) Draw a line segment from the point 110, 1002 to130, 2252. What does the slope of this line segmentrepresent?(c) Find the average rate of change of the monthly costfrom 4 to 10 gigabytes.(d) Find the average rate of change of the monthly costfrom 10 to 30 gigabytes.(e) Find the average rate of change of the monthly costfrom 30 to 50 gigabytes.(f) What is happening to the average rate of change as thegigabytes of data increase?arrow_forwardDate Jan 16 Feb 16 Mar 16 Apr 16 May 16 Jun 16 Hours light 8.95 10.18 11.62 13.27 14.65 15.40 Date Jul 16 Aug 16 Sep 16 Oct 16 Nov 16 Dec 16 Hours light 15.10 13.90 12.30 10.71 9.30 8.60 a.

In order to estimate this, she takes a sample of 150 of her fans and asks them if they listened to the song in this time period. Of the 150 fans, 135 of them (90%) responded that they did listen to the song during this time period. What is the parameter and what is its value? a. The parameter is the proportion of the 150 sampled Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is 135. b. The parameter is the group of Taylor Swift fans who were surveyed, which is 150. c. The parameter is the proportion of all Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is unknown. d. The parameter is the proportion of all Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is 0.9. e. The parameter is the…arrow_forward
