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.

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?

Radius of a Shock Wave An explosion produces a spherical shock wave whose radius R expands rapidly. The rate of expansion depends on the energy E of the explosion and the elapsed time t since the explosion. For many explosions, the relation is approximated closely by R=4.16E0.2t0.4. Here R is the radius in centimeters, E is the energy in ergs, and t is the elapsed time in seconds. The relation is valid only for very brief periods of time, perhaps a second or so in duration. a. An explosion of 50 pounds of TNT produces an energy of about 1015 ergs. See Figure 2.71. How long is required for the shock wave to reach a point 40 meters 4000 centimeters away? b. A nuclear explosion releases much more energy than conventional explosions. A small nuclear device of yield 1 kiloton releases approximately 91020 ergs. How long would it take for the shock wave from such an explosion to reach a point 40 meters away? c. The shock wave from a certain explosion reaches a point 50 meters away in 1.2 seconds. How much energy was released by the explosion? The values of E in parts a and b may help you set an appropriate window. Note: In 1947, the government released film of the first nuclear explosion in 1945, but the yield of the explosion remained classified. Sir Geoffrey Taylor used the film to determine the rate of expansion of the shock wave and so was able to publish a scientific paper concluding correctly that the yield was in the 20-kiloton range.

Profit The profit P, in thousands of dollars that a manufacturer makes is a function of the number N of items produced in a year, and the formula is P=0.2N2+3.6N9. a. Express using functional notation the profit at a production level of 5 items per year, and then calculate that value. b. Determine the two break-even points for this manufacturesthat is, the two production levels at which the profit is zero. c. Determine the maximum profit if the manufacturer can produce at most 20 items in a year.

Reaction Rates In a chemical reaction, the reaction rate R is a function of the concentraton of the product of the reaction. For a certain second-order reaction between two substances, we have the formula R=0.01x2x+22. Here x is measured in moles per cubic meter and R is measured in moles per cubic meter per second. a. Make a graph of R versus x. Include concentrations up to 100 moles per cubic meter. b. Use functional notation to express the reaction rate when the concentration is 15 moles per cubic meter, and then calculate hat value. c. The reaction is said to be in equilibrium when the reaction rate is 0. At what two concentratoins is the reaction in equilibrium?

Minimizing a Distance When we seek a minimum or maximum value of a function, it is sometimes easier to work with a simpler function instead. Suppose g(x)=f(x) where f(x)0 for all x. Explain why the local minima and maxima of f and g occur at the same values of x. Let gx be the distance between the point 3,0 and the point (x,x2) on the graph of the parabola y=x2. Express g as a function of x. Find the minimum value of the function g that you found in part b. Use the principle described in part a to simplify your work.

5. United States Population Growth In 1960 the population of the United States was about 180 million. Since that time, the population has increased by approximately 1.2 each year. This is a verbal description of the function N=N(t), where N is the population, in millions, and t is the number of years since 1960. a. Express in functional notation the population of the United States in 1963. Calculate its value. b. Use the verbal description of N to make a table of values that shows U.S. population in millions from 1960 through 1965. c. Make a graph of U.S. population versus time. Be sure to label your graph appropriately. d. Verify that the formula 1801.012tmillion people, where t is the number of years since 1960, gives the same values as those you found in the table in part b. Note: Because t is the number of years since 1960, you would use t = 2 to get the population in 1962. e. Assuming that the population has been growing at the same percentage rate since 1960, what value does the formula above give for the population in 2000? Note: The actual population in 2000 was about 281 million..
