Chapter 13, Problem 2RQ
An environmental engineer has obtained a bacteria culture from a municipal water sample and allowed the bacteria to grow.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. Assume the value of m in the resulting model is the growth constant. Use the trendline determined to find the value and units of the growth constant for these bacteria.

The friction in flows through the pipe is defined by a dimensionless number called the fanning friction factor (f). The Fanning friction factor is represented by another dimensionless number, the Reynolds number (Re).It depends on the diameter of the pipe and some parameters related to the fluid. An equation that can predict f given the Reynolds number is given as follows. If Re =4000, e/D=0.01 in this equation, find the value of f using the Simple Iteration method by taking f0=0.1 as the initial value for the solution (ԑ=0.0001)
Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function. You are encouraged to use a calculator or computer to graph the function with a domain and viewpoint that reveals all the important aspects of the function.

- 1) Graph 1: plot t on the abscissa versus y on the ordinate and (artistically) draw a smooth line through the points. The line need not actually go through each data point. 2) Graph 2: plot t^2 on the abscissa versus y on the ordinate and then perform a linear regression. Remember to plot both the raw data points and the line of best fit (with the two points used to draw it); also show the regression equation and r value on the graph. 3) On graph (1), what does the slope of the line tell you about the velocity of the ball? Be thorough! 4) On graph 2: a) What does the slope of the line tell you about the acceleration of the ball?

- A special case of a linear function occurs when we talk about direct variation. If the quantities x and y are related by an equation y − kx for some constant k ± 0, we say that y varies directly as x, or y is proportional to x. The constant k is called the constant of proportionality. Equivalently, we can write fsxd − kx, where f is a linear function whose graph has slope k and y-intercept 0. (a) As dry air moves upward, it expands and cools. If the ground temperature is 20°C and the temperature at a height of 1 km is 10°C, express the temperature T (in °C) as a function of the height h (in kilometers), assuming that a linear model is appropriate.
