Size of High Schools The farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment. He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the approximate formula C=7430.402n+0.00012n2 where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil. a. Make a graph of C versus n. b. What enrollment size gives a minimum per-pupil cost? c. If a high school had an enrollment of 1200, how much in per-pupil cost would be saved by increasing enrollment to the optimal size found in part b?

A diver jumps up and over from a cliff in order to avoid rocks and land in the deeper water. The path of the dive can be modeled using the function f(x)=−16x^2+3x+32, where f(x) is the height, in feet, of the diver at x time in seconds. How many seconds will the diver be in air before hitting the water? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second if necessary.

The function f(x) = (6.5x2 - 20.4x + 234)/(x2 + 36), models the pH level, f(x), of the human mouth x minutes after a person eats food containing sugar. The graph of this function is shown in the attached figure. Solve, a. Use the graph to obtain a reasonable estimate, to the nearest tenth, of the pH level of the human mouth 42 minutes after a person eats food containing sugar. b. After eating sugar, when is the pH level the lowest? Use the function’s equation to determine the pH level, to the nearest tenth, at this time. c. According to the graph, what is the normal pH level of the human mouth? d. What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote associated with this function? Describe what this means in terms of the mouth’s pH level over time. e. Use the graph to describe what happens to the pH level during the first hour.
