- 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_forwardFind a linear approximation to the following function at the point x = 1 y = f(x) = x5 - 4x² + 4x³ - 12x² + 21x6 Select one: a. y = 5-3(x - 1) b. None of these c. y = 42(x - 1) d. y = 5-2(x - 1) e. y = 4 − 3(x − 1) O O O O |||arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardDetermine 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_forwardA capacitor is a device that stores electrical charge. The charge on a capacitor accumulates according to the function Q1t2= a11 - e-t>c2, where t is measured in seconds, and a and c 7 0 are physical constants. The steady-state charge is the value that Q1t2 approaches as t becomes large. a. Graph the charge function for t U 0 using a = 1 and c = 10. Find a graphing window that shows the full range of the function. b. Vary the value of a while holding c fixed. Describe the effect on the curve. How does the steady-state charge vary with a? c. Vary the value of c while holding a fixed. Describe the effect on the curve. How does the steady-state charge vary with c? d. Find a formula that gives the steady-state charge in terms of a and c.arrow_forward
- Solve number 3arrow_forwardA survey of 185 public universities found that “the salaries and benefits of their presidents continued to rise, though at a slower rate than in years past.” Let ƒ(t) represent the total salary and compensation of the average public university president in year t. What does this statement tell us about ƒ(t), ƒ′(t), and ƒ″(t)? Source: The New York Times.arrow_forwardLet y, be a stock price observed at some consecutive days t = 1,2, ...,100.
