- Plant Growth Researchers have found that the probability P that a plant will grow to radius R can be described by the differential equation dPdR=4DRP2 where D is the density of the plants in an area. Source: Ecology. Given the initial condition P(0)=1, find a formula for P in term of R.arrow_forwardYOUR TURN Suppose x are y are both functions of t and x3+2xy+y2=1. If x=1, y=2, and dxdt=6, then find dydt.arrow_forward
