Textbook Question

Chapter 12.2, Problem 68AYU

Old Faithful Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park named for its regular eruption pattern. Past data indicated that the average time between eruptions is 1 hr 35 m.

Suppose rangers log the first eruption on a given day at 12 : 57 am. Using a 1 = 57 , write a prediction formula for the sequence of eruption times that day in terms of the number of minutes after midnight.

At what time of day (e.g., 7 : 15 am) is the 10 th eruption expected to occur?

At what time of day is the last eruption expected to occur?
