Spawner-Recruit Model In fish management it is important to know the relationship between the abundance of the spawners also called the parent stock and the abundance of the recruitsthat is, those hatchlings surviving to maturity. According to the Ricker model, the number of recruits R as a function of the number of spawners P has the form R=APeBp for some positive constants A and B. This model describes well a phenomenon observed in some fisheries: A large spawning group can actually lead to a small group of recruits. In a study of the sockeye salmon, it was determined that A=4 and B=0.7. Here we measure P and R in thousands of salmon. a. Make a graph of R versus P for the sockeye salmon. Assume there are at most 3000 spawners. b. Find the maximum number of salmon recruits possible. c. If the number of recruits R is greater than the number of spawners P, then the difference R-P of the recruits can be removed by fishing, and next season there will once again be P spawners surviving to renew the cycle. What value of P gives the maximum value of R-P, the number of fish available for removal by fishing?
Hydroplaning On wet roads, under certain conditions the front tires of a car will hydroplane, or run along the surface of the water. The critical speed V at which hydroplaning occurs is a function of p, the tire inflation pressure. The following table shows hypothetical data for p, in pounds per square inch, and V, in miles per hour. Tire inflation pressure p Critical speed V for hydroplaning 20 46.3 25 51.8 30 56.7 35 61.2 a Find a formula that models V as a power function of p. b In the rain, a car with tires inflated to 35pound per square inch is travelling behind a bus with tires inflated to 60 pounds per square inch, and both are moving at 65 miles per hour. If they both hit their brakes, what might happen?
Population The population P (in thousands) of Tallahassee, Florida, from 2000 through 2014 can be modeled byp=150.9ekt, where t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2000. In 2005, the population of Tallahassee was about 163,075. (a) Find the value of k. Is the population increasing or decreasing? Explain. (b) Use the model to predict the populations of Tallahassee in 2020 and 2025. Are the results reasonable? Explain. (c) According to the model, during what year will the population reach 200,000?
TEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.5 A donation to the university is required for the privilege of purchasing premium season football passes. The cost is a linear function of the number of season passes. It costs 8000 to get season passes for myself and my spouse. To get passes for my entire family of 5, it costs 17,000. Use a formula to express the total cost C, in dollars, of n season passes. EXAMPLE 3.5 CHANGING CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT Temperature F=F(C) in Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature C in Celsius. A lab assistant placed a Fahrenheit thermometer beside a Celsius thermometer and observed the following: When the Celsius thermometer reads 30 degree (C=30), the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 86 degrees (F=86). When the Celsius thermometer reads 40 degrees, the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 104 degrees. Part 1 Use a formula to express F as a linear function of C. Part 2 At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. What temperature in degrees Celsius makes water boil? Part 3 Explain in practical terms what the slope means in this setting.
Filling a PondA large koi pond is filled from a garden hoseat the rate of 10 gal/min.Initially,the pond contains 300 galof water. (a) Find a linear function V that models the volume of waterin the pond at any time t . (b) If the pond has a capacity of 1300 gal, how long does it take to completely fill the pond?
Tree Diameter and Age To estimate ages of trees, forest rangers use a linear model that relates tree diameter to age. The model is useful because tree diameter is much easier to measure than tree age which requires special tools for extracting a representative cross section of the tree and counting rings. To find the model, use the data in the table, which were collected for a certain variety of oaks. a Make a scatter plot of the data. b Find and graph a linear function that models the data. c Use the model to estimate the age of an oak whose diameter is 18 in. Diameter in. Age years 2.5 15 4.0 24 6.0 32 8.0 56 9.0 49 9.5 76 12.5 90 15.5 89

Planet Growth The amount of growth of plants in an ungrazed pasture is a function of the amount of plant biomass already present and the amount of rainfall. For a pasture in the arid zone of Australia the formula Y=55.120.01535N0.00056N2+3.946R gives an approximation of the growth. Here R is the amount of rainfall, in millimeters, over a 3 month period; N is the plant biomass, in kilograms per hectare, at the beginning of that period; and Y is the growth, in kilograms per hectare, of the biomass over that period. For comparison, 100 millimeters is about 3.9 inches, and 100 kilograms per hectare is about 89 pounds per acre. For this exercise, assume that the amount of plant biomass initially present is 400 kilograms per hectare, so N=400. a. Find a formula for the growth Y as a function of the amount R of rainfall. b. Make a graph of Y versus r. Include values of R from 40 to 160 millimeters. c. What happens to Y as R increases? Explain your answer in practical terms. d. How much growth will there be over a 3 month period if initially there are 400 kilograms per hectare of plant biomass and the amount of rainfall is 100 millimeters?
Learning Curve A learning curve is a graph of a function P(t) that measures the performance of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time t. At first, the rate of learning is rapid. Then, as performance increases and approaches a maximal value M, the rate of learning decreases. It has been found that the function P(t)=MCekt where k and C are positive constants and CM is a reasonable model for learning. a Express the learning time t as a function of the performance level P. b For s pole-vaulter in training, the learning curve is given by P(t)=2014e0.024t where P(t) is the height he is able to pole-vault after t months.
