- If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forwardWaterWater flows into a tank, and a certain part of it drains out through a valve. The volume v in cubic feet of water in the tank at time t satisfies the equation dvdt=5(v/3). If the process continues for a long time, how much water will be in the tank?arrow_forwardMeteorology The normal monthly high temperatures H (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Erie, Pennsylvania, are approximated by Ht=57.5418.53cost614.03sint6 and the normal monthly low temperatures L are approximated by Lt=42.0315.99cost614.32sint6 where t is the time (in months), with t=1 corresponding to January (see figure). (a) What is the period of each function ? (b) During what part of the year is the difference between the normal high and normal low temperatures greatest ? When is it least ? (c) The sun is northernmost in the sky around June 21, but the graph shows the warmest temperatures at a later date. Approximate the lag time of the temperatures relative to the position of the sun.arrow_forward
