A plant biologist models root growth with the function $ r(t) = \sqrt{t} + 2 $. What is the root growth at $ t = 9 $ weeks?
Substitute $ t = 9 $: $ r(9) = \sqrt{9} + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 $.
A science administrator tracks grant applications over 5 years: 120, 135, 150, 165, and 180. What is the average number of applications per year?
Total applications = $ 120 + 135 + 150 + 165 + 180 = 750 $.
Average = $ 750 \div 5 = 150 $.
A plant biologist observes that a drought-resistant gene reduces water usage by 40%. If a normal plant uses 50 liters per week, how much water does the modified plant use?
Modified water usage = $ 50 \times (1 - 0.40) = 50 \times 0.60 = 30 $ liters.
