(a) Plot the data by letting t be the years since 1990. Would a
linear or quadratic function model these data best?
(b) Find the quadratic function defined by f(t) =
a(t – h)? + k that models the data. Use the highest point
as the vertex, (h, k). Then choose (10, 986) as a second
point to determine a.
Stock market investment of $10,000 was made in 1970 during the decade of the 1970s the stock lost half its value beginning in 1980 the value increase until it reaches $35,000 in 1990 after that its value has remained stable. Let v (d) denote The value of stocks in dollars as a function of the date d.
A- what are the value of v(1970) v(1980)v(1990) and v(2010)
b- make a graph of v against d label the axes appropriately
c-estimate the time when your graph indicates that the value of the stock was increasing most rapidly

- TEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.3 The State of New York also has an income tax. The tax table for New York shows that a single New York resident with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 671 in New York income tax. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 701. Assume that the state tax is a linear function of taxable income, and find the tax owed if the taxable income is 15,350. EXAMPLE 3.3 OKLAHOMA INCOME TAX The amount of income tax T=T(l), in dollars, owed to the state of Oklahoma is a linear function of the taxable income l, in dollars, at least over a suitably restricted range of incomes. According to the Oklahoma Income Tax table for the year 2015, a single Oklahoma resident taxpayer with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 579 in Oklahoma income tax. In functional notation, this is T(15,000)=579. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 605. Part 1 Calculate the rate of change in T with respect to I, and explain in practical terms what it means. Part 2 How much does the taxpayer owe if the taxable income is 15,350?arrow_forwardHydroplaning On wet roads, under certain conditions the front tires of a car will hydroplane, or run along the surface of the water.

- Total Revenue and Profit This is a continuation of Exercise 8. In general, the highest price p per unit of an item at which a manufacturer can sell N items is not constant, but is, rather, a function of N. Suppose the manufacturer of widgets in Exercise 8 has developed the following table showing the highest price p, in dollars, of a widget at which N widgets can be sold. Number N Price p 200 43.00 250 42.50 300 42.00 350 41.50 a. Find a formula for p in terms of N modeling the data in the table. b. Use a formula to express the total monthly revenue R, in dollars, of this manufacturer in a month as a function of the number N of widgets produced in a month. Is R a linear function of N? c. On the basis of the tables in this exercise and the preceding one, use a formula to express the monthly profit P, in dollars, of this manufacturer as a function of the number of widgets produced in a month. Is P a linear function of N? 8. Total Cost The background for this exercise can be found in Exercises 13 and 14 in Section 3.2. The following table gives the total cost C, in dollars, for a widget manufacturer as a function of the number N of widgets produced during a month. Number N Total cost C 200 7900 250 9650 300 11, 400 350 13, 150 a. What are the fixed costs and variable cost for this manufacturer? b. The manufacturer wants to reduce the fixed costs so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975. What will the new fixed costs be? c. Instead of reducing the fixed costs as in part b, the manufacturer wants to reduce the variable cost so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975. What will the new variable cost be?arrow_forwardGrazing Kangaroos The amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal V of food available measured as biomass, in units such as pounds per acre. This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the amount of food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. a.For the western grey kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is G=2.54.8e0.004V, where G=G(V) is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Draw a graph of G against V. Include vegetation biomass levels up to 2000 pounds per acre. ii. Is the graph you found in part i concave up or concave down? Explain in practical terms what your answer means about how this kangaroo feeds. iii. There is a minimal vegetation biomass level below which the western grey kangaroo will eat nothing. Another way of expressing this is to say that the animal cannot reduce the food biomass below this level. Find this minimal level. iv. Find the satiation level for the western grey kangaroo. b. For the red kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is R=1.91.9e0.033V, Where R is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Add the graph of R against V to the graph of G you drew in part a. ii. A simple measure of the grazing efficiency of an animal involves the minimal vegetation biomass level described above: The lower the minimal level for an animal, the more efficient it is at grazing. Which is more efficient at grazing, the western grey kangaroo or the red kangaroo?arrow_forwardFreight on Class I Railroads According to the Association of American Railroads, Class I freight railroads are the line-haul freight railroads with 2006 operating revenue in excess of 346.8million.

Calculate the average rate of change per year in F from 2005 to 2007 and explain its meaning in practical terms.arrow_forward
- Minimum Wage The table below is taken from the website of the U.S. Department of Labor. It shows the minimum wage for each decade from 1950 to 2010.

The actual value was 7.09.arrow_forwardIn retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is expressed as follows. Net sales Stock turnover = Average stock at retail This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. (a) Suppose that your store had net sales of $681,000 in men's shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of men's shoes was $124,000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) Suppose that in a certain month your store's net sales of women's dresses were $88,000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.5 per month. What do you estimate to be your store's average stock at retail? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) $ (c)…arrow_forwardCollege Enrollment The total fall enrollment in 4-yearpublic institutions is given by y = 0.014x + 2.290,where x is the number of years after 1990 and y ismillions of students.
