Chapter 11.1, Problem 47E

(Refer to Exercise 46). Suppose someone initially weighing 180  lb adopts a diet of 2500 calories per day.

a. Write the weight function for this individual.

b. Graph the weight function on the window [ 0 , 300 ] by [ 120 , 200 ] . What is the asymptote? This value of w is the equilibrium weight w e q . According to the model, can a person ever achieve this weight?

c. How long will it take a dieter to reach a weight just 2  lb more than w e q .

2. Jeremiah makes $15 an hour working part-time at a local fast food restaurant. He pays approximately 11% in taxes on his earnings. If h is his hours worked, model his weekly after-tax wages as a function w(h) of hours worked.
Kpopulation is measured in thousands of people. A low-projection scenario for the population of Smalltown, USA for 1995 and 2150 is given by the function y=-0.37x 37.83x 5840 68, where x is the number of years after 1990 and the a. Find the input and output at the vertex of the graph of this model b. Interpret the values from part a c. For what years after 1995 does this model predict that the population will increase? a. The input at the vertex is x 51.12 and output at the vertex is y 6807.65 (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) b. The population will be (Use the answer from part a to find this answer.) in the year
Average Annual Wage The following table shows theU.S. average annual wage in thousands of dollars forselected years from 2014 and projected to 2050.a. Find a power function that models this data, with xequal to the number of years after 2000 and y equalto the average annual wage in thousands of dollars.Report the model with four significant digits.b. What does the model predict that the averageannual wage will be in 2043?c. Use technology to find when the model predicts thatthe average annual wage will be $159.6 thousand.
