The Greek mathematician Pythagoras is credited with the discovery of the Golden Rectangle. This is considered to be the rectangle with the dimensions that are the most Visually appealing. In a Golden Rectangle, the length and width are related by the proportion \frac{l}{w} = \frac{w}{l - w}
. A billboard with a length of 15 m
is going to be built.
What must its width be to form a Golden Rectangle?

Polluted water flows into a pond. The concentration of pollutant ,c
, in the pond at time t
minutes is modelled by the equation \displaystyle c(t) = 9 - 90 000(\frac{1}{10 000 + 3t})
where c
is measured in kilograms per cubic metre.
a) When will the concentration of pollutant in the pond reach 6 kg/m^3
?
b) What will happen to the concentration of pollutant over time?
Three employees work at a shipping warehouse. Tom can fill an order in s
minutes. Paco can fill an order in s -2
minutes. Carl can fill an order in s + 1
