Chapter 1.3, Problem 26E
A variable star is one whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. For the most visible variable star, Delta Cephei, the time between periods of maximum brightness is 5.4 days, the average brightness (or magnitude) of the star is 4.0, and its brightness varies by ±0.35 magnitude. Find a function that models the brightness of Delta Cephei as a function of time.

A hot air balloon is at 400 feet above sea level and begins rising at a rate of 105 feet per minute. You are going to be asked a question about time and elevations, so graph this relationship: the balloon elevation (call it y) as a function of time (call it x). Your graph will show the differing elevation of the balloon as time passes.A second balloon at 1500 feet above sea level begins descending at a rate of 163 feet per minute. Graph this relationship; the balloon elevation as a function of time.
1)At some point, the two balloons will pass each other. When they do, their elevation will be_________________________
2)How many minutes before they pass?

- During a nine-hour snowstorm, it snows at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the first 2 hours, at a rate of 2 inches per hour for the next 6 hours, and at a rate of 0.5 inch per hour for the final hour.

If a person gets on the Ferris wheel at the bottommost point, express the person's height above the ground as a function of time, assuming the center of the Ferris wheel is at ground level. Answer: The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 40 meters, which means the radius (r) is half of the diameter, i.e., (r = 20) meters. The Ferris wheel completes one full revolution every 2 minutes. The period (T) of the Ferris wheel is the time it takes to complete one full revolution. In this case, T = 2 minutes. The angular frequency (w) can be calculated using the formula (w = 2/?). Substituting the given value for (T): w = 2/? = ? radians per minute. Now, the height (h) of the person above the ground as a function of time (t) can be expressed using a sine function. The general form of a sine function is h(t) = A sin(wt+ϕ)+C where: - A is the amplitude (half the range of the…arrow_forward

- The size of a bird population on an island can be described by a sinusoidal graph. The number of birds on the island decreased from a maximum of 20,000 in 1963 to a minimum of 12,000 in 2009, and then began increasing again. Find a function that describes this behavior and use it to estimate the number of birds on the island in 2034.

- According to data from the Hill AerospaceMuse um (Hill Air Force Base, Utah), the speed of sound varies depending on altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature. For example, at 20,000 feet, 13.75 inches ofmercury, and - 12.3°F, the speed of sound is about 707 miles per hour, but the speed can vary from this result by as much as 55 miles per hour as conditions change.(a) Express this situation as an inequality involving an absolute value.(b) Using x for the speed of sound, solve for x to find an interval for the speed of sound.arrow_forwardA series of locks manages the water height along a water source used to produce energy.
