The mass of a colony of bacteria, in grams, is modeled by the function p given by p(t)=2+5tan−1(t2), where t is measured in days. what is the instantaneous rate of change of the mass of the colony, in grams per day, at the moment the colony reaches a mass of 6 grams?

P'(1.015)=4.93 grams

Explanation:

Instantaneous Rate Of Change

If one variable y is a function of another variable x, the rate of change can be measured by changing x by a small amount (dx) and computing the change in y (dy). The rate of change is

When dx tends to zero, we call it the instantaneous rate of change and is easily computed as the first derivative of y

Note: We'll be using the standart notation atan for the inverse tangent

We are given the relation between the mass of a colony of bacteria in grams P(t) and the time t in days

Let's find its first derivative, recalling that

We need to know the value of t, so we use the provided condition P=6 gr

We use this value in the derivative:

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
