- In Exercises 1–4, graph the function. State its domain and range.arrow_forward. Gold Prices The price of an ounce of gold in U.S. dollars for the years 1997–2011 can be modeled by thefunction G(x) = 11.532x2 - 259.978x + 1666.555,where x is the number of years after 1990.a. Graph this function for values of x representing1997–2011.b. According to the model, what will the price ofgold be in 2020?c. Use graphical or numerical methods to estimatewhen the price of gold will reach $2702.80per ounce.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 1–4, (a) write a formula for the function and (b) use theformula to find the indicated value of the function.1. the area A of a circle as a function of its diameter d; the area of acircle of diameter 4 in.2. the height h of an equilateral triangle as a function of its side lengths; the height of an equilateral triangle of side length 3 m3. the surface area S of a cube as a function of the length of thecube’s edge e; the surface area of a cube of edge length 5 ft4. the volume V of a sphere as a function of the sphere’s radius r;the volume of a sphere of radius 3 cmarrow_forward
- World Population A low-projection scenario of worldpopulation for the years 1995–2150 by the UnitedNations is given by the function y = -0.36x2 +38.52x + 5822.86, where x is the number of yearsafter 1990 and the world population is measured inmillions of people.a. Graph this function for x = 0 to x = 120.b. What would the world population have been in2010 if the projections made using this model hadbeen accurate?arrow_forwardMA.912.F.1.5 Date: Period: Callie and her friend Elena are reading through different novels they checked out from their school library last Tuesday. Callie's progress through her novel can be modeled by the function p(d) = -25d +318, where p(d) represents the number of pages remaining to be read and d is the number of days since receiving the book. Elena's progress through her novel is modeled by the graph below. АУ # Pages Left 400 350 300 250 200 * 150 100 50 (3275) (8,75) 2 3 4 5 6 7 # Days Part A. Which student's novel has more pages to read? 8 9 10 11 Part B. Assuming they both continue to read at a constant rate, which student will complete their novel first?arrow_forwardExercises 31–38: Determine if fis a linear or nonlinear function. If f is a linear function, determine if f is a constant function. Support your answer by graphing f. 31. f (x) = 22x + 5arrow_forward
