Chapter 2.4, Problem 1EQ
Suppose that, in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A,600 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.6. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?
Table 2.6 | |||
Bacteria Strain I | Bacteria Strain II | Bacteria Strain III | |
Food A | 1 | 2 | 0 |
Food B | 2 | 1 | 1 |
Food C | 1 | 1 | 2 |

- Cell Phone Plans Gwendolyn is mulling over the three cell phone plans shown in the table. Gigabytes GB of data included Monthly Cost Each additional megabytes MB Plan A Plan B Plan C 1 1 1 25.00 40.00 60.00 2.00 1.50 1.00 From past experience, Gwendolyn knows that she will always use more than 1GB of cell phone data every month. aMake table of values that shows the cost of each plan for 1 GB to 4 GB, in 500 MB increments. bFind formulas that give Gwendolyns monthly cost for each plan, assuming that she uses x gigabytes of data per month where x1. cWhat is the charge from each plan when Gwendolyn uses 2.2 GB? 3.7 GB? 4.9 GB? d Use your formulas from part b to determine the number of gigabytes of data usage for which: (i) Plan A and Plan B give the same cost. (ii) Plan A and Plan C give the same cost. (iii) Plan B and Plan C give the same cost.arrow_forwardUrban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work.
