- TEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.5 A donation to the university is required for the privilege of purchasing premium season football passes. The cost is a linear function of the number of season passes. It costs 8000 to get season passes for myself and my spouse. To get passes for my entire family of 5, it costs 17,000. Use a formula to express the total cost C, in dollars, of n season passes. EXAMPLE 3.5 CHANGING CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT Temperature F=F(C) in Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature C in Celsius. A lab assistant placed a Fahrenheit thermometer beside a Celsius thermometer and observed the following: When the Celsius thermometer reads 30 degree (C=30), the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 86 degrees (F=86). When the Celsius thermometer reads 40 degrees, the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 104 degrees. Part 1 Use a formula to express F as a linear function of C. Part 2 At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. What temperature in degrees Celsius makes water boil? Part 3 Explain in practical terms what the slope means in this setting.arrow_forwardFlood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour.

- Population Statistics The table shows the life expectancies of a child (at birth) in the United States for selected years from 1940 through 2010. A model for the life expectancy during this period is y=63.6+0.97t1+0.01t,0t70 Where y represents the life expectancy and t is the time in years, with t = 0 corresponding to 1940. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the data from the table and the model in the same viewing window. How well does the model fit the data? Explain. (b) Determine the life expectancy in 1990 both graphically and algebraically. (c) Use the graph to determine the year when life expectancy was approximately 70.1. verify your answer algebraically. (d) Find the y-intercept of the graph of the model. What does it represent in the context of the problem?
