Question:
The thickness, P, in mm, of pelican eggshells depends on the concentration, c, of PCBs in the eggshell, measured in ppm (parts per million); that is, P = f(c).
(a) The derivative f'(c) is negative. What does this tell you?
(b) Give units and interpret f(200) = 0.28 and f'(200) = −0.0005 in terms of PCBs and eggshells.
