PROBLEMS
Height of a Baseball A baseball is thrown upward, and its height is measured at 0.5-s intervals using a strobe light. The resulting data are given in the table.
a) Draw a scatter plot of the data. What degree polynomial is appropriate for modelling the data?
b) Find a polynomial model that best fits the data, and graph it on the scatter plot.
c) Find the times the ball is 20 ft. above the ground.
d) What is the maximum height attained by the ball?
Time (s) | Height (ft.) |
0 | 4.2 |
0.5 | 26.1 |
1.0 | 40.1 |
1.5 | 46.0 |
2.0 | 43.9 |
2.5 | 33.7 |

- Poiseuilles Law for Rate of Fluid Flow Poiseuilles law for the rate of flow of a fluid through a tube is a fourth-order polynomial that is also a power function: F=cR4, where F is the flow rate measured as a volume per unit time, c is a constant, and R is the radius of the tube. a. Assume that R increases by 10. Explain why F increases by 46.41. Hint: Consider 1.10 raised to the fourth power. b. What is the flow rate through a 3/4inch pipe compared with that through a 1/2inch pipe? c.
