Question

A crystal growth furnace is used in research to determine
how best to manufacture crystals used in electronic components
for the space shuttle. For proper growth of the
crystal, the temperature must be controlled accurately by
adjusting the input power. Suppose the relationship is
given by

 

T(w) = 0.1w2 +2 .155w  +20

 

where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius and w is the
power input in watts.
(a) How much power is needed to maintain the temperature
at  200° C?
(b) If the temperature is allowed to vary from  200° C by up
to  ± 1° C, what range of wattage is allowed for the input
power ?

(c) In terms of the ɛ, 8 definition of lim, »a f(x) = L, what
is x? What is f(x)? What is a? What is L? What value
of e is given? What is the corresponding value of 8?
