4. Thanksgiving Dinner It takes 10 minutes to preheat your oven to 325 degrees. For an oven preheated to 325 degrees, the recommended cooking time for a turkey is about 15 minutes per pound.
a. Use a formula to express the total time T, in minutes, needed to preheat the oven and then bake a turkey weighing p pounds.
b. Use your formula from part a to find the approximate time required to prepare a turkey weighing 18 pounds.

- Reminder:-Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. A Cattle Pen A rancher wants to use a fence as an enclosure for a rectangular cattle pen with area 400 square feet. a. Suppose he decides to make one side of the pen 40 feet long. Draw a picture and label the length of each side of the pen. What is the length of each side? What is the total amount of fence needed? b. What would be the total amount of fence needed if the pen were a square? c. Can two rectangles with the same area have different perimeters? d. Find a formula for a function F=F(l) that gives the total amount of fence, in feet, required in terms of the length l, in feet, of one of its sides. Hint: First draw a picture of the pen and label one side 1. Next figure out the lengths of the other sides in terms of l.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Whispers A whisper in a quiet library is about 30decibels. What decibel level would be recorded by a table of 10 library patrons, each whispering at 30decibels?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. A Wrap Skirt Figure 3.13 shows a simplified pattern for a wrap skirt that is 20 inches long. The bottom hem for this pattern has a length of 63 inches. Suppose you decide to alter the pattern to make a skirt that is 24 inches long. What should be the length of the bottom hem?arrow_forward

Looking out your window, you find that the top of a statue lines up exactly with the bottom of a building that is 600 horizontal feet from your office. You know that the statue is 125 feet from the building. How tall is the statue? See Figure 3.14.)arrow_forwardAir Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C, write a formula for the temperature at height h. (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an air plane lakes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km?arrow_forwardRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Note Some of the formulas below use the special number e, which was presented in the Prologue. 13. Radioactive Substances change form over time. For example, carbon 14, which is important for radiocarbon dating, changes through radiation into nitrogen. If we start with 5 grams of carbon 14, then the amount C=C(t) of carbon 14 remaining after t years is given by C=50.5t/5730 a. Express the amount of carbon 14 left after 800 years in functional notation, and then calculate its value. b. How long will it take before half of the carbon 14 is gone? Explain how you got your answer. Hint: You might use trial and error to solve this, or you might solve it by looking carefully at the exponent..arrow_forward

World Copper Production World production of copper, in millions of tons per year, from 1900 to 2000 is given by C=0.51.033t, where t is the time in years since 1900. a.What production level does this model give for the year 2000? b.If this model were extended to 2025, how could you use your knowledge of copper production in 2024 to estimate copper production in 2025?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Looking over a Wall Twenty horizontal feet north of a 50-foot building is a 35-foot wall see Figure 3.22). A man 6 feet tall wishes to view the top of the building from the north side of the wall. How far north of the wall must he stand in order to view the top if the building?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Sleeping Longer A certain man observed that each night he was sleeping 15 minutes longer than he had the night before, and he used this observation to predict the day of his death. 9 If he made his observation right after sleeping 8 hours, how long would it be until he slept 24 and so would never again wake?arrow_forward
