Textbook Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 99E

Textbook Sizes The second edition of Applied Calculus by Waner and Costeaoble was 585 pages long. By the Lime we got to the sixth edition, the book had grown to 755 pages.

a. Use this information to obtain the page length L as a linear function of the edition number n.

b. What are the units of measurement of the slope? What does the slope tell you about the length of Applied Calculus?

c. At this rate, by which edition will the book have grown to over 1,500 pages?

    When Date Are Unevenly speed. If data are evenly spaced, we need only calculate differences to see whether the data are linear. But if data are not evenly spaced, then we must calculate the average rate of change over each interval to see whether the data are linear. If the average rate of change is constant, it is the slope of the linear function. This fact is used in Exercises 23 and 24. In the following table, show that the average rate of change from 2 to 5 is not the same as the average rate of change from 5 to 6. This shows that the data are not linear, even though the differences in y are constant. x 1 2 5 6 y 3 6 9 12
  • Manufacturing Cost The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs $2200 to produce 100 chairs in one day and $4800 to produce 300 chair in or day. (a) Assuming that the relationship between cost and the number of chair’ produced is linear, find a linear function C that models the cost of producing x chair’s in one day. (b) Draw a graph of C. What is the slope of this line? (c) At what rate does the factory’s cost increase for every additional chair produced?
    Grazing Kangaroos The amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal V of food available measured as biomass, in units such as pounds per acre. This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the amount of food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. a.For the western grey kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is G=2.54.8e0.004V, where G=G(V) is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Draw a graph of G against V. Include vegetation biomass levels up to 2000 pounds per acre. ii. Is the graph you found in part i concave up or concave down? Explain in practical terms what your answer means about how this kangaroo feeds. iii. There is a minimal vegetation biomass level below which the western grey kangaroo will eat nothing. Another way of expressing this is to say that the animal cannot reduce the food biomass below this level. Find this minimal level. iv. Find the satiation level for the western grey kangaroo. b. For the red kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is R=1.91.9e0.033V, Where R is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Add the graph of R against V to the graph of G you drew in part a. ii. A simple measure of the grazing efficiency of an animal involves the minimal vegetation biomass level described above: The lower the minimal level for an animal, the more efficient it is at grazing. Which is more efficient at grazing, the western grey kangaroo or the red kangaroo?
    Dropping Rocks on Mars The behavior of objects falling near Earths surface depends on the mass of Earth. 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?
