It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting.

Quarterly Pine Pulpwood PricesIn southwest Georgia, the average pine pulpwood prices vary predictably over the course of the year, primarily because of weather. Prices in 2009 followed this pattern. At the beginning of the first quarter, the average price P was 9 per ton.

During the fourth quarter, prices increased steadily from 8 to 10 per ton. a.Sketch a graph of pulpwood prices as a function of the quarter in the year. b.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the beginning of the year through the first quarter? c.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the first to the third quarter? d.What formula for price P as a function of t, the quarter, describes the price from the third to the fourth quarter? e.Write a formula for price P throughout the year as a piecewise-defined function of t, the quarter.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answer to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Lean Body Weight in Females This is a continuation of Exercise 20. The text cited in Exercise 20 gives a more complex method of calculating lean body weight for your adult females: L=19.81+0.73W+21.2R0.88A1.39H+2.43F. Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, R is wrist diameter in inches, A is abdominal circumference in inches, H is hip circumference in inches, and F is forearm circumference in inches. Assuming the validity of the formulas given here and in Exercise 20, compare the increase in lean body weight of young adult males and of young adult females if their weight increases but all others factors remain the same. Lean Body Weight in Males Your lean body weight L is the amount you would weigh if all the fat in your body were to disappear. One text gives the following estimate of lean body weight L in pounds for young adult males: L=98.42+1.08W4.14A, Where W is total weight in pounds and A is abdominal circumference in inches. 7 a. Consider a group of young adult males who have the same abdominal circumference. If their weight increases but their abdominal circumference remains the same, how does their lean body weight change? b. Consider a group of young adult males who have the same weight. If their abdominal circumference decreases but their weight stays the same, how does their lean body weight change? c. Suppose a young adult male has a lean body weight of 144 pounds. Over a period of time, he gains 15 pounds in total weight, and his abdominal circumference increases by 2 inches. What is his lean body weight now?arrow_forward

In order to bring the salt concentration down to a level consistent with EPA standards, clean water is being piped into tank, and the well-mixed overflow is being collected for removal to a toxic-waste site. The result is that at the end of each hour, there is 22 less salt in the tank than at the beginning of the hour. Let S=S(t) denote the number of pounds of salt in the tank t hours after the flushing process begins. a. Explain why S is an exponential function and find its hourly decay factor. b. Give a formula for S. c. Make a graph of S that shows the flushing process during the first 15 hours, and describe in words how the salt removal process progresses. d. In order to meet EPA standards, there can be no more than 3 pounds of salt in the tank. How long must the process continue before EPA standards are met? e. Suppose this cleanup procedure costs 8000 per hour to operate. How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 60 pounds to 3 pounds? How much does it cost to reduce the amount of salt from 3 pounds to 0.1 pound?arrow_forward
