Question

Bees must fly long distances between flowers. Since each bee wants to bring back as much nectar as possible over the course of the day, she needs to maximize the rate of nectar uptake per visit (in microliters/minute), which includes the travel time (in minutes) between flowers.
Rate at which nectar is collected = food per visit / total time per visit OR R(Tf) = food per visit [F(Tf)] / [time on flower (Tf) + travel time (Tt)] OR R(Tf) = F(Tf) / (Tf + Tt)
where F(Tf) = Tf /( Tf + .5) and Tt = 1 minute.
a. Rewrite the equation for R(Tf) using the information given, and simplify.
b. Find the firBees must fly long distances between flowers. Since each bee wants to bring back as much nectar as possible over the course of the day, she needs to maximize the rate of nectar uptake per visit (in microliters/minute), which includes the travel time (in minutes) between flowers.

Bees must fly long distances between flowers. Since each bee wants to bring back as much nectar as possible over the course of the day, she needs to maximize the rate of nectar uptake per visit (in microliters/minute), which includes the travel time (in minutes) between flowers.
Rate at which nectar is collected = food per visit / total time per visit OR
R(Tf) = food per visit [F(Tf)] / [time on flower (Tf) + travel time (Tt)] OR
R(Tf) = F(Tf) / (Tf + Tt)
where F(Tf) = Tf /( Tf + .5) and Tt = 1 minute.
a. Rewrite the equation for R(Tf) using the information given, and simplify.
b. Find the first derivative, R’(Tf). Determine where the original function R(Tf) is increasing and decreasing on the domain [0,3]. Use this information to find the values of any relative extrema.

NOtTim, I don't want to hear about what you can NOT do

Answer 15

if i could i would

Answer 16

any idea how to graph the function?

Answer 17

. Graph R(Tf) and R’(Tf) on the domain [0,3]. Don’t forget to label the axes & indicate scale!
e. Now how many minutes should the bee spend on each flower? Interpret both graphs in terms of the bee maximizing its time at each flower.

Answer 18

it looks confusing in the format. please attempt to write the equation in a more understandable format.
