Let the function x be dened by x(t) = a ebt, where thas units of seconds and x has units of meters. (for b< 0, this could be a fairly accurate model of the motion of a bullet shot into a tank of oil.) show that the taylor series of this function makes sense if and only if a and b have certain units. instruction. 1. write down the taylor series of the function x(t) 2. use the dimensional analysis to determine the units of a and b. the earth's surface is about 70% water. mars's diameter is about half the earth's, but it has no surface water. compare the land areas of the two planets. instruction 1. draw diagrams of earth and mars 2. label physical quantities using variables. 3. solve this problem using only the information given in the problem.

i don't understand. explain it clearly

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
