PROBLEMS
Tire inflation and Treadwear Car tires need to be inflated properly. Overinflation or underinflation can cause premature treadwear. The data in the margin show tire life for different inflation values for a certain type of tire.
(a) Find the quadratic polynomial that best fits the data.
(b) Draw a graph of the polynomial from part(a) together with a scatter plot of the data.
(c) Use your result from part(b) to estimate the pressure that gives the longest tire life.

- Too Many Corn Plants per Acre? The more corn a farmer plants per acre, the greater is the yield the farmer can expect. But only up to a point, many plants acre can cause Overcrowding and decrease yields, data give yields per acre for various densities of corn plantings, as found by researchers at a university test farm. (a) Find the quadratic polynormal that best fits the data. (b) Draw a graph of the polynomial from part (a) together with a scatter plot of the data. (c) use your result (b) to estimate the yield for 37000 plants per acre.arrow_forwardPROBLEMS Height of a Baseball A baseball is thrown upward, and its height is measured at 0.5-s intervals using a strobe light.

- Maximize volume An open box is to be constructed from a piece of cardboard 20 inches by 24 inches by cutting a square of length x from each corner and folding up the sides as shown in the figure. a. Write a polynomial function V(x) that expresses the volume of the constructed box as a function of x. b. Use the theory learned about graphing polynomial functions and graph V(x). c. What is the domain of the function as it relates to the application problem? d. Use a graphing calculator to graph the function, and estimate the value of x that gives the maximum volume and then estimate the maximum volume.
