Using Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled.
The portion of a floating iceberg that is below the water surface is much larger than the portion above the surface. The total volume V of an iceberg is modeled by
where S is the volume showing above the surface.
(a) Find the total volume of an iceberg if the volume show in above the surface is
(b) Find the volume showing above the surface for an ice-berg with total volume

- Using Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The distance d (in mi) driven by a car traveling at a speed of v miles per hour is given by d=vt . If the car is driven 70 mi/h for 3.5 h, how far has it traveled?arrow_forwardUsing Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. Arizonans use an average of 40 gal of water per person each day. The number of gallons W of water used by x Arizonans each day is modeled W=40x . (a) Make a table that gives the number of gallons of water used for each 1000-person change in population, from 0 to 5000. (b) What is the population of an Arizona town whose water usage is |20,000 gal per day?arrow_forwardUsing Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The volume V of a cylindrical can is modeled by the formula V=r2h where r is the radius and h is the height of the can. Find the volume of a can with radius 3 in.and height 5 in.arrow_forward
- Using Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The gas mileage M (in mi/gal) of a car is modeled by MN/G , where N is the number of miles driven and G is the number of gallons of gas used. Find the gas mileage M for a car that drove 240 mi on 8 gal of gas. A car with a gas mileage M=25 mi/gal is driven 175 mi. How many gallons of gas used?arrow_forwardVolume of Grain Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. How high is the pile (to the nearest hundredth of a foot) when it contains 1000 ft3 of grain?arrow_forwardUsing Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The sales tax T in a certain country is modeled by the formula T=0.06x . Find the sales tax on an item whose price is $120.arrow_forward
- Using Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The power P measured in horsepower (hp) needed to drive a certain ship at a speed of s knots is modeled by P=0.06t3 (a) Find the power needed to drive the ship at 12 Knots. (b) At what speed will a 7.5-hp engine drive the ship?arrow_forwardDrug Concentration When a drug is administered orally, it takes some time before the blood concentration reaches its maximum level. After that time, concentration levels decrease. When 500 milligrams of procainamide is administered orally, one model for a particular patient gives blood concentration C, in milligrams per liter, after t hours as C=2.65(e0.2te2t) What is the maximum blood-level concentration, and when does that level occur?arrow_forwardOperating Cost A delivery company has a fleet of vans. The annual operating cost C (in dollars) per van is C=0.37m+2600, where m is the number of miles traveled by a van in a year. What number of miles yields an annual operating cost of $10,000?arrow_forward
- Population The population P (in thousands) of Tallahassee, Florida, from 2000 through 2014 can be modeled byp=150.9ekt, where t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2000. In 2005, the population of Tallahassee was about 163,075. (a) Find the value of k. Is the population increasing or decreasing? Explain. (b) Use the model to predict the populations of Tallahassee in 2020 and 2025. Are the results reasonable? Explain. (c) According to the model, during what year will the population reach 200,000?arrow_forward3-12 Using Models Use the model given to answer the questions about the object or process being modeled. An ocean diver models the pressure P in lb/in2 at depth d in ft by P=14.7+0.45d a Make a table that gives the pressure for each 10-ft change in depth, from a depth of 0 ft to 60 ft. b If the pressure is 30 lb/in2, what is the depth?arrow_forward
