To get a standardized measure of skirt length, she calculated the ratio. LengthfromshouldertoskirthemLengthfromshouldertoankle The article includes the following graph of the ratio for skirt length in terms of the year. In the graph, the solid line is the ratio in the UK, and the dashed line is the ratio in Germany. FIGURE 1.32 Ratio for skirt length a.Does a larger ratio indicate a longer or a shorter skirt? b.When were skirt lengths shortest in the UK? c.In this period, did skirt lengths in either Germany or the UK ever reach to the ankle?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Market Supply and demand The quality of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat suppliers are willing to produce in a year and offer for sale is called the quantity supplied and is denoted by S. The quantity supplied and is determined by the price P of wheat, in dollars per bushel, and the relation is P=2.13S0.75. The quantity of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat consumers are willing to purchase in a year is called the quantity demanded and is denoted by D. The quantity demanded is also determined by the price P of wheat, and the relation is P=2.650.55D. At the equilibrium price, the quality supplied and the quality demanded are the same. Find the equilibrium price for wheat.arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. DensityThe total weight of a rock depends on its size and is proportional to its density. In this context, density is the weight per cubic inch. Let w denote the weight of the rock in pounds, s the size of the rock in cubic inches, and d the density of the rock in pounds per cubic inch. a. What is the total weight of a 3-cubic-inch rock that weighs 2 pounds per cubic inch? b. Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation. What is the constant of proportionality? c.

Lean Body Weight in Females This is a continuation of Exercise 20. 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_forward

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. Estimating Wave Height Sailors use the following function to estimate wave height h, in feet, from wind speed w, in miles per hour h=0.02w2 a. Make a graph of wave height versus wind speed. Include wind speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. b. A small boat can sail safely provided wave heights are no more than 4 feet. What range of wind speed will give safe sailing for this boat?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answer to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Hair Growth When you are 18 years old you have a hair that is 14 centimeters long, and your hair grows about 12 centimeters each year. Let H(t) be the length, in centimeters, of that hair t years after age 18. a. Find a formula that gives H as a linear function of t. b. How long will it take for the hair to reach a length of 90 centimeters?arrow_forward

Arterial Blood Flow Medical evidence shows that a small change in the radius of an artery can indicate a large change in blood flow. For example, if one artery has a radius only 5 larger than another, the blood flow rate is 1.22 times as large. Further information is given in the table below. Increase in radius Times greater blood flow rate 5 1.22 10 1.46 15 1.75 20 2.07 a. Use the average rate of change to estimate how many times greater the blood flow rate is in an artery that has a radius 12 larger than another. b. Explain why if the radius is increased by 12 and then we increase the radius of the new artery by 12 again, the total increase in the radius is 25.44. c. Use parts a and b to answer the following question: How many times greater is the blood flow rate in an artery that 25.44 larger in radius than another? d. Answer the question in part c using the average rate of change.arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Protein Content of Wheat GrainProtein content of wheat grain is affected by soil moisture and the amount of available nitrogen among other things. Figure 1.45 shows" the percent of protein content of wheat grain versus pounds of nitrogen per acre applied in three separate situations. In each case, soil moisture refers to moisture at the soil depth of 2 inches to 12 inches. Situation 1: Irrigation was used when soil moisture dropped to 49. Situation 2: Irrigation was used when soil moisture dropped to 34. Situation 3: Irrigation was used when soil moisture dropped to 1. a. If irrigation begins when soil moisture reaches 49, what application of nitrogen will result in the lowest percentage of protein in wheat grain? b. If irrigation begins when soil moisture reaches 34, what application of nitrogen will result in the same protein content of wheat grain as beginning irrigation when soil moisture reaches 1? c. If you irrigate when soil moisture reaches 34, how much nitrogen should you apply to achieve a 13 protein content in wheat grain? d. Does Figure 1.45 indicate that, for nitrogen levels at 45 pounds per acre or higher, increased protein content in wheat grain is associated with higher or lower soil moisture? FIGURE 1.45 Protein content versus availability of nitrogenarrow_forwardReminder Round all answer to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Gasoline Prices In 1960, the average price per gallon of gasoline was 31 cents per gallon. Form 1960 to 2000, prices increased, on average, by 2.5 cents per gallon per year. 4 a. Using G for the price, in cents per gallon, and t for the time, in years, since 1960, use a formula to express G as linear function of t. b. What price per gallon does the model yield for 1990? Note: The actual price was 1.00 per gallon. c. Use the Internet to find the average price of gasoline for the current year. Does the model from part a give a price near the current price?arrow_forward
