The standard electrode potential for Ni²⁺/Ni couple is -0.25 V and for Ag⁺/Ag couple is 0.80 V. These two couples are connected to make an electrochemical cell. The redox reaction is spontaneous. The cell potential will be:
In an agricultural institute, scientists conduct experiments with varieties of seeds to grow them in different environments for producing healthy plants and obtaining higher yields.
A scientist observed that a particular seed grew very fast after germination. He recorded the growth of the plant from the time of germination and modeled its growth with the function:
Given:
\( f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^3 - 4x^2 + 15x + 2 \), \( 0 \leq x \leq 10 \)
where \( x \) is the number of days the plant is exposed to sunlight.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
