Chapter 1.3, Problem 62E
Drinking and driving The following table gives the number of drinks and the resulting blood alcohol percent for a 180-pound man legally considered driving under the influence (DUI)
Number of drinks | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Blood Alcohol Percent | 0.11 | 0.13 | 0.15 | 0.17 | 0.19 | 0.21 |
Source: Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board
Is the average rate of change of the blood alcohol percent with respect to the number of drinks a constant?
Use the rate of change and one point determine by a number of drinks and the resulting blood alcohol percent to write the equation of a linear model for these data.
Verify that the values in the table fit the model.

On Mars, a much smaller planet than Earth, things are different. If Galileo had performed his experiment on Mars, he would have obtained the following table of data. t = seconds V = feet per second 0 0 1 12.16 2 24.32 3 36.48 4 48.64 5 60.8 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find a formula for the function. b. Calculate V10 and explain in practical terms what your answer means. c. Galileo found that the acceleration due to gravity of an object falling near Earths surface was 32 feet per second per second. Physicists normally denote this number by the letter g. If Galileo had lived on Mars, what value would he have found for g?arrow_forwardLife Expectancy The following table shows the average life expectancy, in years, of a child born in the given year42 Life expectancy 2005 77.6 2007 78.1 2009 78.5 2011 78.7 2013 78.8 a.
