A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 58 miles, and the crew is adding 3 miles to the road each day. Let L represent the total length of the road (in miles), and let D represent the number of days the crew has worked. Write an equation relating L to D. Then this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked 34 days. Equation: Total length of the road after 34 days: miles

Mosteller Formula for Body Surface Area: Body surface area is an important piece of medical information because it is a factor in temperature regulation as well as some drug level determinations. The Mosteller formula gives one way of estimating body surface area B in square meters. The formula uses the weight w in kilograms and the height h in centimeters. The relation is B=hw60 In this exercise, we consider people who are 190 centimeters tall. a. Write a formula for B as a function of w. b. Make a graph of B versus w. includes weights up to 100 kilograms. c. Is the graph you made in part b concave up or concave down? d. In this part, we consider the effect of weight gain on men who are 190 centimeters tall. Would the weight gain have a greater effect on surface area for a lighter man or for a heavier man?
Population Growth The projected population of the United States for the years 2025 through 2055 can be modeled by P=307.58e0.0052t, where P is the population (in millions) and t is the time (in years), with t=25 corresponding to 2025. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function for the years 2025 through 2055. (b) Use the table feature of the graphing utility to create a table of values for the same time period as in part (a). (c) According to the model, during what year will the population of the United States exceed 430 million?
