- In Exercises15–36, find the points of inflection and discuss theconcavity of the graph of the function. f(x)=\frac{6-x}{\sqrt{x}}arrow_forwardThe Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii records the carbon dioxide concentration y (in parts per million) in Earth’s atmosphere. The January readings for various years are shown in Figure . In the July 1990 issue of Scientific American, these data were used to predict the carbon dioxide level in Earth’s atmosphere in the year 2035, using the quadratic model y = 0.018t2 + 0.70t + 316.2 (Quadratic model for 1960–1990 data) where t = 0 represents 1960, as shown in Figure a. The data shown in figure b represent the years 1980 through 2014 and can be modeled by y = 0.014t2 + 0.66t + 320.3 (Quadratic model for 1980–2014) data where t = 0 represents 1960. What was the prediction given in the Scientific American article in 1990? Given the second model for 1980 through 2014, does this prediction for the year 2035 seem accurate?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 47–50, determine the x-intercepts of the graph of each quadratic function.

- The following graph shows the annual number of housing starts in a country during 2000–2008 together with the given quadratic approximating model. s(t) = −30t2 + 240t + 800 thousand homes per year (See attached graph) (t is the time in years since 2000.) At the same time, the homes being built were getting larger: The average area per home is approximately given by the following function. a(t) = 90t + 6,000 square feet Use the given models to estimate the total housing area under construction over the given period. (Use integration by parts to evaluate the integral, and round your answer to the nearest billion square feet.)
