$$MC(q) = 300 \cdot \frac{1}{q}$$

Question 5

If a population of bacteria grows continuously at a rate of 6% per hour and starts with 100 bacteria, what is the function for the population at time $$t$$ hours?

Accepted Answer

$$t = \frac{\ln(\frac{20,000}{12,000})}{0.0516}$$

Accepted Answer

Local minimum

Question 13

Given the table in Image 2, what is the value of $$h'(4) if$$ $$h(x) = g(f(x))$$?

Accepted Answer

$$h'(4) = g'(f(4)) \cdot f'(4) = g'(4) \cdot 3 = 1 \cdot 3 = 3$$

Question 14

Accepted Answer

$$f''(x) = 12x^2$ - 12x$$
