The silvery blue-green coloring of the Colorado blue spruce makes it a perfect Christmas tree. For a tree farmer in Upstate New York, When a seedling is planted, at time t = 0, the height of the tree is 1 foot. If h(t) is the height of the tree, in feet, at time t years after it is planted, then the rate of growth is proportional to the difference between its maximum height, 10 feet, and its current height is given by
dh/dt = 3/20(10-h)
(a) Is the tree growing faster when it is 2 feet or when it is 4 feet? Explain your reasoning.
(b) find d^2h/dt^2 in terms of h. Use this expression to explain why the graph of the solution curve is concave down.
(c) Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of h at the point where t = 0. Use the tangent line to approximate the height of the tree at t = 1. Is the estimate an overestimate or an underestimate? Explain your reasoning.
(d) Find the particular solution to this differential equation with initial value h(0) = 1.
(e) If a tree is harvested when its height is 8 feet, at what time t will a blue spruce be ready to sell?

Please show steps! Thanks!

Ascientist studied a population of workers to determine whether verbal praise and/or tangible rewards affect employee productivity. in the study, some workers were offered verbal praise, some were offered tangible rewards (gift cards, presents, and some were offered neither. the productivity of each participant was measured throughout the study by recording the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. which inference might the scientists make based on the given information? a.) the number of daily tasks completed by each employee may influence the dependent variable, which is whether the employee receives verbal praise, tangible rewards, or neither. b.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the independent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. c.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the dependent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. d.) the dependent variables, which are verbal praise and tangible rewards, may influence the number of daily tasks completed by each employee.
