The function g(t) graphed below gives the ocean water surface elevation above NAVD 1988 in inches for 6 days in Nov. of 2017 at the Chincoteague Bay inlet in Chincoteague VA. t=0 represents Nov. 1, 2017. (NAVD 1988 is a vertical control of the primary height benchmark for the water in this inlet) Values above 0 represent an increase in water surface elevation above the NAVD 1988 vertical control and values below O represent a decrease in water surface elevation below the NAVD 1988 vertical control. g(x) Ocean water surface elevation above NAVD 1988 in inches 10- 0 -100 (0, -10) --20- (1.514, 2.189) --30- (1,0) (2,0) (3,-16) 3 4 (5,0) (4, -30) Date: t=0 represents Nov. 1, 2017 ▪ A) Determine the water surface elevation in relation to the NAVD 1988 vertical control height on Nov. 1, 2017.Write your answer in the context of the problem.

The depth of the bookcase must be 1 ft, and its total volume must be 12 ft. a. Express the total surface area of the bookcase as a function of its height. Answer: b. What height and width of the bookcase will minimize its total surface area?
Extreme Protection, Inc. manufactures helmets for skiing and snowboarding. The fixed costs for one model of helmet are $7900 per month. Materials and labor for each helmet of this model are $55, and the company sells this helmet to dealers for $85 each. (Let x represent the number of helmets sold. Let C, R, and P be measured in dollars.) (a) For this helmet, write the function for monthly total costs C(x). C(x) = (b) Write the function for total revenue R(x). R(x) = (c) Write the function for profit P(x). P(x) = (d) Find C(200). C(200) = Interpret C(200). O When this many helmets are produced the cost is $200. O This is the cost (in dollars) of producing 200 helmets. O For every additional helmet produced the cost increases by this much. O For each $1 increase in cost this many more helmets can be produced. Find R(200). R(200) =
