DifferentiationTo measure the physical properties of cells, a piezoelectric probe is used. The force applied by the probe is compared against how much the cell deforms. If F is the force applied by the probe, and w is the distance it moves into the cell, then the stiffness of the cell can be calculated from the rate of change, dF/dw. Zhang et al. found that if F is measured in μN and w in μm then for a zebrafish embryo:
F = 3 x 10⁻⁴ w³- 4.4 x 10⁻³w² + 3.93w+0.221
Calculate dF/dw for a sample when w= 100μm.

DifferentiationCenterville is the headquarters of Greedy Cablevision Inc. The cable company is about to expand service to two nearby towns, Springfield and Shelbyville. There needs to be cable connecting Centerville to both towns. The idea is to save on the cost of cable by arranging the cable in a Y-shaped configuation. Centerville is located at (12, 0) in the zy-plane, Springfield is at (0, 5), and Shelbyville is at (0, -5). The cable runs from Centerville to some point (x, 0) on the z-axis where it splits into two branches going to Springfield and Shelbyville. Find the location (x, 0) that will minimize the amount of cable between the 3 towns and compute the amount of cable needed. Justify your answer.
