Source: Peter Tyack, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Find the depth of the whale at the following times. a. 17 hours and 37 minutes b. 17 hours and 39 minutesarrow_forwardMedical Literature It has been observed that there has been an increase in proportion of medical research papers that use the word novel in the title or abstract, and that this proportion can be accurately modeled by the function p(t)=0.001131e0.1268t, where t is the number of years since 1970. Source: Nature. a. Find p(40). b. If the phenomenon continues, estimate the year in which every medical article will contain the word novel in its title or abstract. c. Estimate the rate of increase in the proportion of medical papers using this word in the year 2010. d. Explain some factors that may be contributing to researchers using this word.arrow_forward
- High School Graduates The following table shows the number, in millions, graduating from high school in the United States in the given year. Year Number graduating in millions 1985 2.83 1987 2.65 1989 2.47 1991 2.29 a. By calculating difference, show that these data can be modeled using a linear function. b. What is the slope for the linear function modeling high school graduations? Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope. c. Find a formula for a linear function that models these data. d. Express, using functional notation, the number graduating from high school in 1994, and then use your formula from part c to calculate that value.arrow_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forward
