- 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_forwardFind the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forwardFind the unknown value. y varies inversely as the square of x and when x=3,y=2. Find y if x=1.arrow_forward
- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardThe radius r, in inches, of a spherical balloon isrelated to the volume, V, by r(V)=3V43 . Air is pumped into the balloon, so the volume after t seconds is given by V(t)=10+20t . a. Find the composite function r(V(t)) . b.Find the exact time when the radius reaches 10 inches.arrow_forward
- Change the function y=3(0.5)x to one having e as the base.arrow_forwardThe height h of a projectile is a function of the time t it is in die air. The height in feet for t seconds is given by the function h(t)=-16t2+96t . What is the domain of die function? What does the domain mean in the context of die problem?arrow_forwardNear the surface of the moon, the distance that an object falls is a function of time. It is given by d(t)=2.6667t2 , where t is in seconds and d(t) is in feet. If an object is dropped from a certain height, find the average velocity of die object from t=1tot=2 .arrow_forward
- A path of a toy rocket thrown upward from the ground at a rate of 208 ft/sec is modeled by the quadratic function of. h(x)=16t2+208t. When will the rocket reach its maximum height? What will be the maximum height?arrow_forwardFind the inverse of the function. f(x)=2x+33x1arrow_forwardFind the domain of the function f(x)=142xx2arrow_forward
