Depth of Snowfall Snow began falling at noon on Sunday. The amount of snow on the ground at a certain location at time t was given by the function
where f is measured in days from the start of the snowfall and h(t) is the depth of snow in inches. Draw a graph of this function, and use your graph to answer the following questions.
- (a) What happened shortly after noon on Tuesday?
- (b) Was there ever more than 5 in. of snow on the ground? If so, on what day(s)?
- (c) On what day and at what time (to the nearest hour) did the snow disappear completely?

- A Skydiver When a skydiver jumps from an airplane, his downward velocity, in feet per second, before he opens his parachute, is given by v=1761-0.834t, where t is the number of seconds that have elapsed since he jumped from the airplane. What is the velocity after 5 seconds?arrow_forwardIf you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forward
