- Formula for Maximum and Minimum Values Find the maximum or minimum value of the function. f(x)=2x2+4x1arrow_forwardMinimizing a Distance When we seek a minimum or maximum value of a function, it is sometimes easier to work with a simpler function instead. Suppose g(x)=f(x) where f(x)0 for all x. Explain why the local minima and maxima of f and g occur at the same values of x. Let gx be the distance between the point 3,0 and the point (x,x2) on the graph of the parabola y=x2. Express g as a function of x. Find the minimum value of the function g that you found in part b. Use the principle described in part a to simplify your work.arrow_forward5. United States Population Growth In 1960 the population of the United States was about 180 million. Since that time, the population has increased by approximately 1.2 each year. This is a verbal description of the function N=N(t), where N is the population, in millions, and t is the number of years since 1960. a. Express in functional notation the population of the United States in 1963. Calculate its value. b. Use the verbal description of N to make a table of values that shows U.S. population in millions from 1960 through 1965. c. Make a graph of U.S. population versus time. Be sure to label your graph appropriately. d. Verify that the formula 1801.012tmillion people, where t is the number of years since 1960, gives the same values as those you found in the table in part b. Note: Because t is the number of years since 1960, you would use t = 2 to get the population in 1962. e. Assuming that the population has been growing at the same percentage rate since 1960, what value does the formula above give for the population in 2000? Note: The actual population in 2000 was about 281 million..arrow_forward
- Sales 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_forwardPopulation Growth and Decline The graph shows the population P in a small industrial city from 1950 to 2000. Thevariable x represents the number of year since 1950. (a) Determine the intervals on which the function P isincreasing and on which it is decreasing. (b) What as the maximum population, and in what yearwas it attained? (c) Find the net change in the population P from 1970 to 1990.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the function is increasing ordecreasing. g(x)=x+2arrow_forward
- Radius 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_forwardLearning Curve A learning curve is a graph of a function P(t) that measures the performance of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time t. At first, the rate of learning is rapid. Then, as performance increases and approaches a maximal value M, the rate of learning decreases. It has been found that the function P(t)=MCekt where k and C are positive constants and CM is a reasonable model for learning. a Express the learning time t as a function of the performance level P. b For s pole-vaulter in training, the learning curve is given by P(t)=2014e0.024t where P(t) is the height he is able to pole-vault after t months. After how many months of training is he able to vault 12 ft? c Draw a graph of the learning curve in 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
