Chapter 13.3, Problem 35E
The article “The Respiration in Air and in Water of the Limpets Patella caerulea and Patella lusitanica” (Comp. Biochemistry and Physiology, 1975: 407–411) proposed a simple power model for the relationship between respiration rate y and temperature x for P. caerulea in air. However, a plot of ln(y) versus x exhibits a curved pattern. Fit the quadratic power model
| x | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 |
| y | 37.1 | 70.1 | 109.7 | 177.2 | 222.6 |

In a study conducted at Dartmouth College, mice with a particular type of cancerous tumor were
treated with a chemotherapy drug called Cisplatin. If the volume of one of these tumors at the time
of treatment is Vo, then the volume of the tumor t days after treatment is modeled by the function
V(t) = = Vo(0.99e- + 0.01e0.239t).
-0.1216t
1. Set Vo = 3 and plot V(t) over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 16. Appropriately adjust the viewing
window to see the behavior of V(t) and sketch the graph below.
2. From the graph, estimate the time at which the volume of the tumor decreased to half its
original amount. There are two such times, record each to the nearest whole number.
3. With Vo = 3, write down the equation whose solution gives the time at which the tumor is
half its original volume. (Re)write the equation with zero in the right-hand side.
4. Using one of your answers from 2. as to and your equation from 3., apply two steps of Newton's
method to better approximate this time. (Round to 3 decimal…

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as
determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on x = absorbance and
y = wrinkle resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper "Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with Infrared Spectroscopy".t
