DETAILS The temperature, T, on a particular planet oscillates between -60 °F and 200 °F every 33 days. Suppose T(t) = K cos(Ct) + B can be used to model the temperature as a function of t, measured in days. Assume the minimum temperature occurs when t = 0. (a) Find K = (b) Find the average temperature on the planet. oF For instructor's notes only. Do not write in the box below. DETAILS

Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?
Near the surface of the moon, the distance that an object falls is a function of time. It is given by d(t)=2.6667t2 , where t is in seconds and d(t) is in feet. If an object is dropped from a certain height, find the average velocity of die object from t=1tot=2 .
If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.
Use your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.
