- Formula for Maximum and Minimum Values Find the maximum or minimum value of the function. f(s)=s21.2s+16arrow_forwardRadius of a Shock Wave An explosion produces a spherical shock wave whose radius R expands rapidly. The rate of expansion depends on the energy E of the explosion and the elapsed time t since the explosion. For many explosions, the relation is approximated closely by R=4.16E0.2t0.4. Here R is the radius in centimeters, E is the energy in ergs, and t is the elapsed time in seconds. The relation is valid only for very brief periods of time, perhaps a second or so in duration. a. An explosion of 50 pounds of TNT produces an energy of about 1015 ergs. See Figure 2.71. How long is required for the shock wave to reach a point 40 meters 4000 centimeters away? b. A nuclear explosion releases much more energy than conventional explosions. A small nuclear device of yield 1 kiloton releases approximately 91020 ergs. How long would it take for the shock wave from such an explosion to reach a point 40 meters away? c. The shock wave from a certain explosion reaches a point 50 meters away in 1.2 seconds. How much energy was released by the explosion? The values of E in parts a and b may help you set an appropriate window. Note: In 1947, the government released film of the first nuclear explosion in 1945, but the yield of the explosion remained classified. Sir Geoffrey Taylor used the film to determine the rate of expansion of the shock wave and so was able to publish a scientific paper concluding correctly that the yield was in the 20-kiloton range.arrow_forwardMaximum and Minimum Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x)=x39x2+6 on the horizontal span of 0 to 10.arrow_forward
- Maximum Sales Growth This is a continuation of Exercise 10. In this exercise, we determine how the sales level that gives the maximum growth rate is related to the limit on sales. Assume, as above, that the constant of proportionality is 0.3, but now suppose that sales grow to a level of 4 thousand dollars in the limit. a. Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. b. On the basis of the equation from part a, make a graph of G as a function of s. c. At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? d. Replace the limit of 4 thousand dollars with another number, and find at what sales level the growth rate is as large as possible. What is the relationship between the limit and the sales level that gives the largest growth rate? Does this relationship change if the proportionality constant is changed? e. Use your answers in part d to explain how to determine the limit if we are given sales data showing the sales up to a point where the growth rate begins to decrease.arrow_forwardThe Reciprocal Rule (a) The Reciprocal Rule says that at any point where the function v(x) is differentiable and different from zero, d/dx (1/v)=−1/v2 dv/dx. Show that the Reciprocal Rule is a special case of the Quotient Rule.

- Use the rectangles to approximate the area of the region. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) f(x) = 9 − x2, [−3, 3] Use the rectangles to approximate the area of the region. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) f(x) = 9 – x2, [-3, 3] y 10 The xy-coordinate plane is given. There is a curve, a shaded region, and 4 rectangles on the graph. • The curve enters the window at x = -3 on the negative x-axis, goes up and right becoming less steep, changes direction at the point(0, 9), goes down and right becoming more steep, and exits the window at x = 3 on the positive x-axis. The region below the curve, above the x-axis, and between the values of -3 and 3 on the x-axis is shaded. The segments of the x-axis from x = -3 to -1.5, -1.5 to 0, 0 to 1.5, and 1.5 to 3 serve as the bases of the 4 rectangles. The curve passes through the midpoint of the top of each of the 4 rectangles.
