- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardThe population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardWhen a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?arrow_forward
- Determine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.arrow_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardA supplier of kerosene has a 150-gallon tank that is filled at the beginning of each week. His weekly demand shows a relative frequency behavior that increases steadily up to 100 gallons and then levels off between 100 and 150 gallons. If Y denotes weekly demand in hundreds of gallons, the relative frequency of demand can be modeled by Find F(y). Find P(0 ≤ y ≤.5). C Find P(.5 ≤ Y ≤ 1.2). a b y, f(y) = 1, 0, 0≤ y ≤ 1, 1 < y ≤ 1.5, elsewhere.arrow_forward
- Determine whether the following statements are true or false. You must clearly state TRUE or FALSE, and provide a justification/explanation/counterexample to demonstrate why the statement is true or false.arrow_forwardFind three functions f,g,h that satisfy: f(g(h(x))) = +2 %3D Pagearrow_forwardFind the critical point for the function: a* /5 – a/4+ 1/3 1+ (æ³/5 – æ/4 +1/3)2 | for xe[-1,1]. Which of these critical points are local maxima?arrow_forward
