Chapter 16.2, Problem 8P

A pizza parlor problem. How many different large pizzas with no double toppings can be made? (For example, mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage is one possibility, and so is mushroom and sausage, but not double mushroom and sausage. Your count should also include the case of no toppings.) You can’t answer the question yet because you don’t know how many toppings the pizza parlor offers.
a. Determine the number of different pizzas when there are exactly 3 toppings to choose from (e.g., mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage).
b. Determine the number of different pizzas when there are exactly 4 toppings to choose from.
c. Determine the number of different pizzas when there are exactly 5 toppings to choose from.
d. Look for a pattern in your answers in parts (a), (b), and (c). Based on the pattern you see, predict the number of different pizzas when there are lo toppings to choose from.
e. Now find a different way to determine the number ofdifferent pizzas when there are lo toppings to choosefrom. This time, think about the situation in the followingway: Pepperoni can be either on or off, mushrooms canbe either on or off, sausage can be either on or off, andso on, for all 10 toppings. Explain clearly how to use thisidea to answer the question and why this method is valid.

Suppose that a room containing 1300 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide (CO). Beginning at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% CO is introduced into the room at a rate of 0.8 cubic feet per minute. The well-circulated smoke and air mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. Let A(t) represent the amount of CO in the room (in cubic feet) after t minutes. (A) Write the DE model for the time rate of change of CO in the room. Also state the initial condition. dA dt A(0) (B) Solve the IVP to find the amount of CO in the room at any time t > 0. A(t) (C) Extended exposure to a CO concentration as low as 0.00012 is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this concentration is reached. t= minutes
Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation dT dt k(TA), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is the ambient temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality. Suppose that a cup of coffee begins at 178 degrees and, after sitting in room temperature of 61 degrees for 12 minutes, the coffee reaches 171 degrees. How long will it take before the coffee reaches 155 degrees? Include at least 2 decimal places in your answer. minutes
Decide whether each limit exists. If a limit exists, estimate its value. 11. (a) lim f(x) x-3 f(x) ↑ 4 3- 2+ (b) lim f(x) x―0 -2 0 X 1234
