In order to bring the salt concentration down to a level consistent with EPA standards, clean water is being piped into tank, and the well-mixed overflow is being collected for removal to a toxic-waste site. The result is that at the end of each hour, there is 22 less salt in the tank than at the beginning of the hour. Let S=S(t) denote the number of pounds of salt in the tank t hours after the flushing process begins. a. Explain why S is an exponential function and find its hourly decay factor. b. Give a formula for S. c. Make a graph of S that shows the flushing process during the first 15 hours, and describe in words how the salt removal process progresses. d. In order to meet EPA standards, there can be no more than 3 pounds of salt in the tank. How long must the process continue before EPA standards are met? e.

How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 3 pounds to 0.1 pound?arrow_forwardReminder Round 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. Adjustable Rate Mortgage-Exact PaymentsThis is a continuation of Exercise 30. In Exercise 30, we only approximated the increased payment when the rate for an ARM increases: We assumed that over the first 24 months, you accrue 0 equity in your home. Your equity in a home is the total you have paid toward the principal.We address that point here. We make use of the equity formula E=P(1+r)k1(1+r)t1. Here E is the equity, in dollars, after k monthly payments. The quantities P,t, and r are defined as in Exercise 30. Round r to five decimal places. We assume as in Exercise 30 that you borrowed 325,000 at an initial APR of 4.5 with a term of 30 years. a. What equity have you accrued after 24 months? b. When your rate adjusts to 7 after 24 months, the new amount borrowed is 325,000 less your equity. The term is now 28 years. What is your new monthly payment? 30. Adjustable Rate Mortgage-Approximating PaymentsAn adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM, is a mortgage whose interest rate varies over the life of the loan. The interest rate is often tied in same fashion to the prime rate, which may go up or down. One advantage of an ARM is that it usually has an initial rate that is lower than that of a fixed rate mortgage. In the summer 2007, defaults on home mortgages led to a crisis in the U.S. economy. At least part of the blame was placed on ARMs. This exercise illustrates the difficulties that many homeowners faced during this period. We make use of the following formula for the monthly payment: M=Pr(1+r)t(1+r)t1. Here M is the monthly payment, in dollars, P is the amount borrowed, in dollars, t is the term of the loan, in months, and r is the monthly interest rate as a decimal, with r=APR/12. In this exercise, round r to five decimal places. Suppose you purchased a home in 2005, securing a mortgage of 325,000 with a 30-year ARM. a. In 2005, interest rates were at a historical lows. Suppose that at the time of the loan, the rate for your ARM was a 4.5 APR. Calculate your monthly payment. b. Suppose you earn 6000 per month. What percentage of your income is going toward your house payment? c. Suppose that after 24 payments, your ARM rate adjusted to 7 APR. We will assume that after 24 months, your loan balance is still 325,000. This is not as unreasonable an assumption as it may appear. The correct calculation is shown in Exercise 31. What is your monthly payment now? Be careful: The term of the loan is now 28 years, not 30 years. d. Using the assumptions of part c, what percentage of your income is going to your house payment now?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

NoteSome of the formulas below use the special number e, which was presented in the Prologue. Yield Response to Several Growth FactorsThis is a continuation of Exercise 23. If more than one nutrient is considered, the formula for percentage of maximum yield is a bit more complex. For three nutrients, the formula is Y(b,c,d)=(10.5b)(10.5c)(10.5d). a.Express using functional notation the percentage of maximum yield produced from 1 baule of the first nutrient, 2 baules of the third nutrient, and 3 baules of the third nutrient, and then calculate that value. b.One baule of nitrogen is 223 pounds per acre, 1 baule of phosphorus is 45 per acre, and 1 baule of potassium is 76 pounds per acre. What percentage of maximum yield will be obtained from 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre, 100 pounds of phosphorus per acre, and 150 pounds of potassium per acre? 23. Mitscherlichs EquationAn important agriculture problem is to determine how a quantity of nutrient, such as nitrogen, affects the growth of plants. We consider the situation wherein sufficient quantities of all but one nutrient are present. One boule of a nutrient is the amount needed to produce 50 of maximum possible yield. In 1990, E.A. Mitscherlichs proposed the following relation, which is known as Mitscherlichs Equation: Y=10.5b. Here b is the number of baules of nutrient applied, and Y is the percentage as a decimal of maximum yield produced. a.Verify that the formula predicts that 50 of maximum yield will be produced if 1 baule of nutrient is applied. b.Use functional notation to express the percentage of maximum yield produced by 3 baule of nutrient, and calculate the value. c.The exact value of a baule depends on the nutrient in question. For nitrogen, 1 baule is 223 pounds per acre. What percentage of maximum yield will be produced if 500 pounds of nitrogen per acre is present?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

The text cited in Exercise 20 gives a more complex method of calculating lean body weight for your adult females: L=19.81+0.73W+21.2R0.88A1.39H+2.43F. Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, R is wrist diameter in inches, A is abdominal circumference in inches, H is hip circumference in inches, and F is forearm circumference in inches. Assuming the validity of the formulas given here and in Exercise 20, compare the increase in lean body weight of young adult males and of young adult females if their weight increases but all others factors remain the same. Lean Body Weight in Males Your lean body weight L is the amount you would weigh if all the fat in your body were to disappear. One text gives the following estimate of lean body weight L in pounds for young adult males: L=98.42+1.08W4.14A, Where W is total weight in pounds and A is abdominal circumference in inches. 7 a. Consider a group of young adult males who have the same abdominal circumference. If their weight increases but their abdominal circumference remains the same, how does their lean body weight change? b. Consider a group of young adult males who have the same weight. If their abdominal circumference decreases but their weight stays the same, how does their lean body weight change? c. Suppose a young adult male has a lean body weight of 144 pounds. Over a period of time, he gains 15 pounds in total weight, and his abdominal circumference increases by 2 inches. What is his lean body weight now?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Waiting at a Stop SignConsider a side road connecting to a major highway at a stop sign. According to a study by D.R. Drew, the average delay D, in seconds, for a car waiting at the stop sign to enter the highway is given by D=eqt1qtq, where q is the flow rate, or the number of cars per second passing the stop sign on the highway, and T is the critical highway that will allow for safe entry. We assume that the critical headway is T=5seconds. a.What is the average delay time if the flow rate is 500 cars per hour 0.14 car per second? b.The service rate s for a stop sign is the number of cars per second that can leave the stop sign. It is related to the delay by s=D1. Use function composition to represent the service rate as a function of flow rate. Reminder:(a/b)1=b/a. c.What flow rate will permit a stop sign service rate of 5 cars per minute 0.083 car per second?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
