Applied Calculus
- Inflation Assuming that the annual rate of inflation averages 4 over the next 10 years, the approximate costs C of goods or services during any year in that decade can be modeled by Ct=P1.04t, where t is the time in years and P is the present cost. The price of an oil change for your car is presently $29.88. Estimate the price 10 years from now.arrow_forwardRichter Scale Exercise S-1 through S-6 use elementary properties of Richter Scale. If the Richter scale reading of one quake is t units larger than that of a second quake, how do the relative intensities of the quake compare?arrow_forwardSpecial Rounding Instructions For this exercise set, round all regression parameters to three decimal places but round all other answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Grazing Rabbits The amount A of vegetation measured in pounds eaten in a day by a grazing animal is a function of the amount V of food available measured in pounds per acre. Even if vegetation is abundant, there is a limit, called the satiation level, to the amount the animal will eat. The following table shows, for rabbits, the difference D between the satiation level and the amount A of food eaten for a variety of values of V. V=vegetaionlevel D=satiationlevel-A 27 0.16 36 0.12 89 0.07 134 0.05 245 0.01 a.Draw a plot of D versus V. b.Find an exponential function that approximates D. c.The satiation level of a rabbit is 0.18 pound per day. Use this, together with your work in part b, to find a formula for A. d.Find the vegetation level V for which the amount of food eaten by the rabbit will be 90 of its satiation level of 0.18 pound per day.arrow_forward
