- Magazine Circulation: The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula C=5.20.1+0.3t Here C is measured in thousands, and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006, when the magazine was started. a. Make a graph of C versus t covering the first 6 years of the magazines existence. b. Express using functional notation the circulation of the magazine 18 months after it was started, and then find that value. c. Over what time interval is the graph of C concave up? Explain your answer in practical terms. d. At what time was the circulation increasing the fastest?. e. Determine the limiting value for C. Explain your answer in practical terms.arrow_forwardSales Growth In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of the product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars. The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for difference this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales grow to 3 thousand dollars in the long run, then 3-s is the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s, and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.3 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. a.Find the formula for unattained sales. b.Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. c.On the basis of the equation from the part b, make a graph of G as a function of s. d.At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? e.What is the largest possible growth rate?arrow_forwardRadius of a Shock Wave An explosion produces a spherical shock wave whose radius R expands rapidly. The rate of expansion depends on the energy E of the explosion and the elapsed time t since the explosion. For many explosions, the relation is approximated closely by R=4.16E0.2t0.4. Here R is the radius in centimeters, E is the energy in ergs, and t is the elapsed time in seconds. The relation is valid only for very brief periods of time, perhaps a second or so in duration. a. An explosion of 50 pounds of TNT produces an energy of about 1015 ergs. See Figure 2.71. How long is required for the shock wave to reach a point 40 meters 4000 centimeters away? b. A nuclear explosion releases much more energy than conventional explosions. A small nuclear device of yield 1 kiloton releases approximately 91020 ergs. How long would it take for the shock wave from such an explosion to reach a point 40 meters away? c. The shock wave from a certain explosion reaches a point 50 meters away in 1.2 seconds. How much energy was released by the explosion? The values of E in parts a and b may help you set an appropriate window. Note: In 1947, the government released film of the first nuclear explosion in 1945, but the yield of the explosion remained classified. Sir Geoffrey Taylor used the film to determine the rate of expansion of the shock wave and so was able to publish a scientific paper concluding correctly that the yield was in the 20-kiloton range.arrow_forward
- Air Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C, write a formula for the temperature at height h. (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an air plane lakes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km?arrow_forwardMaximum Sales Growth This is a continuation of Exercise 10. In this exercise, we determine how the sales level that gives the maximum growth rate is related to the limit on sales. Assume, as above, that the constant of proportionality is 0.3, but now suppose that sales grow to a level of 4 thousand dollars in the limit. a. Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. b. On the basis of the equation from part a, make a graph of G as a function of s. c. At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? d. Replace the limit of 4 thousand dollars with another number, and find at what sales level the growth rate is as large as possible. What is the relationship between the limit and the sales level that gives the largest growth rate? Does this relationship change if the proportionality constant is changed? e. Use your answers in part d to explain how to determine the limit if we are given sales data showing the sales up to a point where the growth rate begins to decrease.arrow_forwardDecay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.arrow_forward
