Question 14 (a) |
---|
The males of the magnificent frigatebirds have a bright red throat pouch that gets inflated like a balloon to attract females during mating season. Suppose that the rate of change of the volume during inflation is measured in for . At , the pouch is empty.
(a) Find the function for the volume at time during inflation. (Hint: consider a simple antiderivative.) |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
The antiderivative of is . |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Found a typo? Is this solution unclear? Let us know here.
Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. By the Hint, the antiderivative of is
where is an arbitrary constant.
Since this implies that where is a constant.
As we are given that , we have Hence, Answer: |
