The rate (In mg carbon/m3/h) at which photosynthesis takes place for a species of phytoplankton is modeled by the function 110I 12 +1+ 9 where I is the light intensity (measured in thousands of foot-candles). For what light intensity is P a maximum?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P is maximum at I = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

The rate (in mg carbon/m³/h) at which photosynthesis takes place for a species of phytoplankton is modeled by the function P = 100I/(I² + I + 4) where I is the light intensity (measured in thousands of foot candles). For what light intensity P is a maximum?

To find the value of I at which P is maximum, we differentiate P with respect to I and equate it to zero.

So, dP/dI =  d[100I/(I² + I + 4)]/dI

= [(I² + I + 4)d(100I)/dI - 100Id(I² + I + 4)/dI]/(I² + I + 4)²

= [(I² + I + 4)100 - 100I(2I + 1)]/(I² + I + 4)²

= [100I² + 100I + 400 - 200I² - 100I]/(I² + I + 4)²

= [-100I² + 400]/(I² + I + 4)²

=  -100[I² - 4]/(I² + I + 4)²

Since dP/dI = 0,  -100[I² - 4]/(I² + I + 4)² = 0 ⇒ I² - 4 = 0 ⇒ I² = 4 ⇒ I = ±√4

I = ±2

Since I cannot be negative, we ignore the minus sign

To determine if this is a maximum point, we differentiate dP/dI. So,

d(dP/dI)/dI = d²P/dI² = d[-100[I² - 4]/(I² + I + 4)²]/dI

= [(I² + I + 4)²d(-100[I² - 4])/dI - (-100[I² - 4])d(I² + I + 4)²/dt]/[(I² + I + 4)²]²

= [(I² + I + 4)²(-200I) + 100[I² - 4]) × (2I + 1) × 2(I² + I + 4)]/(I² + I + 4)⁴

= [-200I(I² + I + 4)² + 200[I² - 4])(2I + 1)(I² + I + 4)]/(I² + I + 4)⁴

= [-200(I² + I + 4)[I(I² + I + 4) - [I² - 4])(2I + 1)]]/(I² + I + 4)⁴

= [-200(I² + I + 4)[I³ + I² + 4I - I² + 4])(2I + 1)]]/(I² + I + 4)⁴

= [-200(I² + I + 4)[I³ + 4I + 8])(2I + 1)]]/(I² + I + 4)⁴

Substituting I = 2 into d²P/dI², we have

= [-200(2² + 2 + 4)[2³ + 4(2) + 8])(2(2) + 1)]]/(2² + 2 + 4)⁴

= [-200(4 + 2 + 4)[8 + 8 + 8])(4 + 1)]]/(4 + 2 + 4)⁴

= [-200(10)[24](5)]]/(10)⁴

= -240000/10⁴

= -24

Since d²P/dI² = -24 < 0 at I = 2,  this shows that it I = 2 is a maximum point.

So, P is maximum at I = 2

the range of the function y=secx-2 is all reals except

-1 1 -3 -2

Answers

Answer:

For a function y = f(x), the range is the set of all the possible values of y.

In the question you wrote:

y = secx - 2

This can be interpreted as:

y = sec(x - 2)

or

y = sec(x) - 2

So let's see each case (these are kinda the same)

If the function is:

y = sec(x - 2)

Firs remember that:

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

then we can rewrite:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

notice that the function cos(x) has the range -1 ≤ y ≤ 1

Then for the two extremes we have:

y = 1/1 = 1

y = 1/-1 = -1

Notice that for:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

y can never be in the range  -1 < x < 1

As the denominator cant be larger, in absolute value, than 1.

Then we can conclude that the range is all reals except the interval:

-1 < y < 1

If instead the function was:

y = sec(x) - 2

y = 1/cos(x) - 2

Then with the same reasoning, the range will be the set of all real values except:

-1 - 2 < y < 1 - 2

-3 < y < -1

Luis dispone de una cantidad de dinero de 25,000 RD$ para ponerlos en el banco a plazo fijo con un interés de un 1.7% al cabo de 8 meses, ¿Cuánto dinero posee Luis si no ha gastado nada? *

Answers

Answer:

Luis's balance = $25,283.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $25,000Interest rate, R = 1.7 %Time = 8 months

To find how much money Luis will have;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in months to a year.

Conversion:

12 months = 1 year

8 months = X year

Cross-multiplying, we have;

12 * X = 8

X = 8/12

X = 2/3 years

To find the simple interest, we would use the formula;

[tex] S.I = \frac {PRT}{100} [/tex]

Where;

S.I is the simple interest.P is the principal.R is the interest rate.T is the time measured in years.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex] S.I = \frac {25,000 * 1.7 * \frac {2}{3}}{100} [/tex]

[tex] S.I = \frac {28333.33}{100} [/tex]

S.I = $283.33

Luis's balance = S.I + Principal

Luis's balance = 283.33 + 25000

Luis's balance = $25,283.33

x - 18 + 18 = -5 + 18

x = 13
