MHB 2.7.263 AP calculu Exam Population growth

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the derivative of a linear function in the context of population growth for an AP Calculus exam. It emphasizes that the derivative of a linear function is a constant, leading to the conclusion that the population function can be represented as P(t) = 200t + C. Participants agree that the linear graph indicates a straight line, confirming the choice of option (A). The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing the characteristics of linear functions in calculus. Overall, the analysis centers on applying derivative concepts to solve population growth problems.

ok I think that would leave (A) since the linear graph would be P(t)=200t which is a straight line.

$P(t) = 200t + C$

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'

Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
