Displacement Revisited I was driving to a birthday party at my friend's house when I had the realization: I forgot the birthday gift. My velocity at t seconds after the realization is measured in meters per second and given by the function v(t) = 20 – 2t, where traveling towards my friend's Label Equation/Value Displacement on [0,10)] 100 Displacement on [10,20] -100 house is the positive direction. Let's pretend like we DON'T know the antiderivative, but we're still interested in finding the displacement on [0,10]. We can still use the derivative to help. Let's start with an easy question: Oh nol The gft Friend's House What is v(0)? (Enter only a number.) My house -10 5 10 15 20 -10 Graph of my velocity at time t

Water Flea F. E Smith has reported on population growth of the water flea. In one experiment, he found that the time t, in days, required to reach a population of N is given by the relation e0.44t=NN0(228N0228N)4.46. Here N0 is the initial population size. If the initial population size is 50, how long is required for the population to grow to 125?
Sales Growth In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of the product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars. The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for difference this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales grow to 3 thousand dollars in the long run, then 3-s is the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s, and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.3 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. a.Find the formula for unattained sales. b.Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. c.On the basis of the equation from the part b, make a graph of G as a function of s. d.At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? e.What is the largest possible growth rate?
Revenue A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling x units of a certain commodity is given by the function R(x)=80x0.4x2, where the revenue R(x) is measured in dollars. What is the maximum revenue? and how many units should be manufactured to obtain this maximum?
Magazine Circulation: The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula C=5.20.1+0.3t Here C is measured in thousands, and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006, when the magazine was started. a. Make a graph of C versus t covering the first 6 years of the magazines existence. b. Express using functional notation the circulation of the magazine 18 months after it was started, and then find that value. c. Over what time interval is the graph of C concave up? Explain your answer in practical terms. d. At what time was the circulation increasing the fastest?. e. Determine the limiting value for C. Explain your answer in practical terms.
Population Growth and Decline The graph shows the population P in a small industrial city from 1950 to 2000. Thevariable x represents the number of year since 1950. (a) Determine the intervals on which the function P isincreasing and on which it is decreasing. (b) What as the maximum population, and in what yearwas it attained? (c) Find the net change in the population P from 1970 to 1990.
Maximum Sales Growth This is a continuation of Exercise 10. In this exercise, we determine how the sales level that gives the maximum growth rate is related to the limit on sales. Assume, as above, that the constant of proportionality is 0.3, but now suppose that sales grow to a level of 4 thousand dollars in the limit. a. Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. b. On the basis of the equation from part a, make a graph of G as a function of s. c. At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? d. Replace the limit of 4 thousand dollars with another number, and find at what sales level the growth rate is as large as possible. What is the relationship between the limit and the sales level that gives the largest growth rate? Does this relationship change if the proportionality constant is changed? e. Use your answers in part d to explain how to determine the limit if we are given sales data showing the sales up to a point where the growth rate begins to decrease.
