6. The world's highest bridge, the Millau Viaduct in France, is 1125 feet above the River
Tarm. An object is dropped from the top of this bridge. Neglecting air resistance, the
height of the object at time t seconds is given by the polynomial function P(t) = -1612 +
1125. Find the height of the object when t=1 second and when t = 8 seconds.
7. The total revenues (in pesos) for MCD, Inc., Manufacturing Company to produce x
blank audio cassette tapes per week is given by the polynomial function R(x) = 2x. Find
the total revenue from selling 200, 000 tapes per week.
8. The function f(x) = 0.07x2-0.8x + 3.6 can be used to approximate the amazing growth
of the number of Web logs (Blogs) dippearing on the intemet from January 2004 to
October 2006, where January, 2004 = 1 for x, February 2004 = 2 for x, and so on, and y is
the number of logs (in millions). Approximate the number of Web logs on the internet in
October 2006. Round answers to the nearest tenth million.
9. The function f(x) = 0.39x2 + 2.49x + 38.7 can be used to approximate the number of
people under age 65 without health insurance during the period 1999-2005, where x is the
nurmber of years after 1999 and f(x) is the number in millions of people. Round answers to
the nearest tenth of a million.
