Wildlife biologists treated a pool with a chemical to reduce the amount A of algae. The amount of algae in the pool is given by the function A(t)=35t2-360t+1050 where r is the number of days after treatment.(A)When will the amount of algae reach a minimum?(B)What is the minimum number of algae?(C)How many days after treatment will the amount of algae reach 900?(D)Graph the function.

Respuesta :

[tex]A(t)=35t^2-360t+1050[/tex]

A

minimum of algae is when we derive and equal 0

Derivation

[tex]\begin{gathered} (2)35t-360 \\ 70t-360 \end{gathered}[/tex]

equal 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} 70t-360=0 \\ 70t=360 \\ t=\frac{360}{70} \\ \\ t=\frac{36}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]

the amout of algae reach minimum when t=36/7

B

to calculate the minumum number of algae we replace the days when algae reach minumum(previus exercise) on function

[tex]\begin{gathered} 35t^2-360t+1050 \\ 35(\frac{36}{7})^2-360(\frac{36}{7})+1050 \\ \\ 35(\frac{1296}{49})-\frac{12960}{7}+1050 \\ \\ \frac{6480}{7}-\frac{12960}{7}+1050 \\ \\ =\frac{870}{7}\approx124.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

the rounded minimum number of algae is 124

C

We replace the amount of algae to 900 on the original function

[tex]900=35t^2-360t+1050[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\begin{gathered} 35t^2-360t+1050-900=0 \\ 35t^2-360t+150=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

now solve t factoring by

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

where x is the variable then t, a is 35, b is -360 and c 150

replacing

[tex]t=\frac{-(-360)\pm\sqrt[]{(-360)^2-4(35)(150)}}{2(35)}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\begin{gathered} t=\frac{360\pm\sqrt[]{129600-21000}}{70} \\ \\ t=\frac{360\pm\sqrt[]{108600}}{70} \\ \\ t=\frac{360\pm\sqrt[]{100\times1086}}{70} \\ \\ t=\frac{360\pm10\sqrt[]{1086}}{70} \\ \\ t=\frac{36\pm\sqrt[]{1086}}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]

then the days to have 900 algae is

[tex]\begin{gathered} t_1=\frac{36+\sqrt[]{1086}}{7}\approx9.85 \\ \\ t_2=\frac{36-\sqrt[]{1086}}{7}\approx0.46 \end{gathered}[/tex]

we have 2 values for 900 algae 9.85 and 0.46 days

D Graph

we know the graph is a parable because maximum exponent is 2

we know points like,

minimum amount of algae A(5.14 , 124.3) ,

when the amount of algae is 900 B(9.85 , 900) C(0.46 , 900)

then we can palce the points of a graph and join them
