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?
TEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.3 The State of New York also has an income tax. The tax table for New York shows that a single New York resident with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 671 in New York income tax. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 701. Assume that the state tax is a linear function of taxable income, and find the tax owed if the taxable income is 15,350. EXAMPLE 3.3 OKLAHOMA INCOME TAX The amount of income tax T=T(l), in dollars, owed to the state of Oklahoma is a linear function of the taxable income l, in dollars, at least over a suitably restricted range of incomes. According to the Oklahoma Income Tax table for the year 2015, a single Oklahoma resident taxpayer with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 579 in Oklahoma income tax. In functional notation, this is T(15,000)=579. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 605. Part 1 Calculate the rate of change in T with respect to I, and explain in practical terms what it means. Part 2 How much does the taxpayer owe if the taxable income is 15,350?
Arboriculture The growth of a red oak tree is approximated by the function G=0.003t3+0.137t2+0.458t0.839,2t34 where G is the height of the tree (in feet) and t is its age (in years). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Estimate the age of the tree when it is growing most rapidly. This point is called the point of diminishing returns because the increase in size will be less with each additional year. (c) Using calculus, the point of diminishing returns can be found by finding the vertex of the parabola y=0.009t2+0.274t+0.458. Find the vertex of this parabola. (d) Compare your results from parts (b) and (c).
