Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A group of hikers uses a GPS while doing a 40-mile trek in Colorado. A curve fit to the data shows that their altitude can be approximated by the function y (t) = 0.12t5 – 6.75tª + 135t³ – 1120ť² + 3200t + 9000 where y and tare expressed in feet and hours, respectively. During the 18-hour hike, determine the maximum altitude that the hikers reach. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The maximum altitude is ft.

The Gather’s have 2 cars. Last year, one car was driven about 13 500 km and has a fuel consumption rating of 8.1L/100 km and 55 625 km was put on the other car which has a fuel consumption rating of 6.3L/100 km. The average cost of fuel during the year was $0.87/L. Using the following maintenance table, determine how much the Gather’s spent on all relevant variable costs last year.
The amount of radiation received per unit time by a person working near a radioactive source, commonly called the dose rate, is measured in rem hr-1. The safety regulations forbid dose rates in excess of 7.5 × 10-4 rem hr-1. The γ dose rate from the 4219K source is found to be 3 × 10-3 rem hr-1 at a distance of 1 m. What is the minimum distance from this source at which itis safe to work? After how long will it be safe to work at a distance of 1 m from the source?
