Chapter 5.6, Problem 52E
Variable Stars Astronomers believe that the radius of a variable star increases and decreases with the brightness of the star. The variable star Delta Cephei (Example 4) has an average radius of 20 million miles and changes by a maximum of 1.5 million miles from this average during a single pulsation. Find an equation that describes the radius of this star as a function of time.

(Here t represents the time in seconds.) (a) At what time t did the earthquake first make noticeable movement of the Earth? (b) At what time t did the earthquakes seem to end? (c) At what time t was the maximum intensity of the earthquake list reachedarrow_forwardGeometry A square concrete foundation is a base for a cylindrical tank (see figure). (a) Write the radius r of the tank as a function of the length x of the sides of the square. (b) Write the area A of the circular base of the tank as a function of the radius r. (c) Find and interpret (Ar)x.arrow_forward
- Speed of a Bicycle The radii of the pedal sprocket, the wheel sprocket,and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are 4 inches, 2 inches, and 14 inches, respectively. A cyclist pedals at a rate of 1 revolution per second. a Find the speed of the bicycle in feet per second and miles per hour. b Use your result from part (a) to write a function for the distance d (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the number n of revolutions of the pedal sprocket. (c) Write a function for the distance d (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the time t (in seconds). Compare this function with the function from part (b).arrow_forwardFluid Flow The intake pipe of a 100-gallon tank has a flow rate of 10 gallons per minute, and two drainpipes have flow rates of 5 gallons per minute each. The figure shows the volume V of fluid in the tank as a function of time t. Determine whether the input pipe and each drainpipe are open or closed in specific subintervals of the 1 hour of time shown in the graph. (There are many correct answers.)arrow_forward
