- Fluid Flow The intake pipe of a 100-gallon tank has a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute, and two drainpipes have flow rates of 5 gallons per minute each. The figure shows the volume V of fluid in the tank as a function of time t. Determine whether the input pipe and each drainpipe are open or closed in specific subintervals of the 1 hour of time shown in the graph. (There are many correct answers.)arrow_forwardField Trip A class of fourth graders walks to a park on a field trip. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives their distance from school in ft t minutes after they left school. What is the average speed going to the park? How long was the class at the park? How far away is the park? Graph the function y=0.5f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is the average speed going to the new park? How far is the new park? Graph the function y=f(t10). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? How does the field trip described by this function differ from the original trip?arrow_forwardMaximum Area A Norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular window (see figure). The perimeter of the window is 16 feet. (a) Write the area A of the window as a function of x. (b) What dimensions produce a window of maximum area?arrow_forward
- Bird Population The graph shows the population of a rare species of bird, where t represents years since 2009 and n(t) is measured in thousands. a Find a function that models the bird population at time t in the form n(t)=n0ert. b What is the bird population expected to be in the year 2020?arrow_forwardRevenue A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling x units of a certain commodity is given by the function R(x)=80x0.4x2, where the revenue R(x) is measured in dollars. What is the maximum revenue? and how many units should be manufactured to obtain this maximum?arrow_forwardMaximum Volume You construct an open box with locking tabs from a square piece of material, 24 inches on a side, by cutting equal sections from the corners and folding along the dashed lines (see figure). (a) Write a function V that represents the volume of the box. (b) Determine the domain of the function V . (c) Sketch a graph of the function and estimate the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.arrow_forward
