Textbook Question

Chapter 13.2, Problem 43E

Bicycle Shops The rate of change of the number of retail bicycle stores can be approximated by

f ( x ) = − 185.85 e − .03 x ,

where x = 0 corresponds to the year 2000. The total number of stores was 6192 in the year 2000. (Data from: National Bicycle Dealers Association.)

a. Find the function giving the total number of stores in year x.

b. According to this model, how many stores will there be in 2020?

7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph. We prove that for every x, y, z Є V, there is a cycle in G on which x, y, and z all lie. (a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁. (b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that: ⚫each Qi starts at z; • each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are distinct; the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex 2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo, W1, and w₂). (c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)
