Get started for freeA tomato plant given ounces of fertilizer will successfully bear pounds of tomatoes in a growing season.
(a) In real-world terms, what does represent and what are its units? What does represent and what are its units?
(b) A study has shown that this fertilizer encourages tomato production when less than ounces are used, but inhibits production when more than ounces are used. When is positive and when is negative? When is positive and when is negative?
A bowling ball dropped from a height of feet will be feet from the ground after seconds. Use a sequence of average velocities to estimate the instantaneous velocities described below:
After seconds, with
Suppose and . Use the chain rule to find role="math" localid="1648356625815" without first finding the formula for .
For each function and interval localid="1648297458718" in Exercises localid="1648297462718" , use the Intermediate Value Theorem to argue that the function must have at least one real root on localid="1648297466951" . Then apply Newton’s method to approximate that root.
localid="1648297471865"
Use the limit you just found to calculate the exact slope of the tangent line to at . Obviously you should get the same final answer as you did earlier.
