The mass of a growing cyst at clock time t is given by m = .05 * t3, where m
is mass in grams and t is clock time in months.
- At what average rate is the mass changing between clock times t = 19.9 and t = 20
months?
- At what average rate is the mass changing between clock times t = 19.9 and t = 19.91
months?
- At what average rate is the mass changing between clock times t = 19.9 and t = 19.901
months?
- What do you estimate is the rate at which mass is changing at clock time t = 19.9 months?
The rate at which the mass of the cyst changes is given by Rate = .013 * t2,
where Rate is rate of change in grams per month and t is clock time in months. How
much do you think mass will change between t = 19.9 and t = 39.8 months?
