- Resale Value: The resale value V, in dollars, of a certain car is a function of the number of year t since the year 2012. In the year 2012, the resale ale is 18,000 and each year thereafter the resale value decreases by 1700. a. What is the resale value in the year 2013? b. Find a formula for V as a function of t. c. Make a graph of V versus t covering the first 4 years since the year 2012. d. Use functional notation to express the resale value in the year 2015, and then calculate that value.arrow_forwardGraphical Addition Use graphical addition to sketch the graph of f+g.arrow_forwardHow do you find the domain for the composition of two functions, fg ?arrow_forward
- a. Use a formula to express the altitude of a helicopter as a function of time. Be sure to explain the meaning of the letters you choose and the units. b. Express using functional notation the altitude of the helicopter 90 seconds after takeoff, and then calculate that value. c. Make a graph of altitude versus time covering the first 3 minutes of the flight. Explain how the description of the function is reflected in the shape of the graph.arrow_forwardField Trip A class of fourth graders walks to a park on a field trip. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives their distance from school in ft t minutes after they left school. What is the average speed going to the park? How long was the class at the park? How far away is the park? Graph the function y=0.5f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is the average speed going to the new park? How far is the new park? Graph the function y=f(t10). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? How does the field trip described by this function differ from the original trip?arrow_forwardPopulation Growth The projected population of the United States for the years 2025 through 2055 can be modeled by P=307.58e0.0052t, where P is the population (in millions) and t is the time (in years), with t=25 corresponding to 2025. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function for the years 2025 through 2055. (b) Use the table feature of the graphing utility to create a table of values for the same time period as in part (a). (c) According to the model, during what year will the population of the United States exceed 430 million?arrow_forward

For a particular set of boxes, the height is 4 feet, the length is given as x feet, and the width is 3x feet. Express the volume as a function of x.arrow_forwardThe circumference C of a circle is a function of its radius given by C(r)=2r. Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Call this function r(C) , Find r(36) and interpret its meaning,arrow_forward
- A store offers customers a 30% discount on the price x of selected items. Then, the store takes off an additional 15% at the cash register. Write a price function P(x) that computes the final price of the item in terms of the original price x. (Hint: Use function composition to find your answer.)arrow_forwardDecomposing Functions If f(x)=x2+3, express f as a composition of two functions.arrow_forwardArboriculture The growth of a red oak tree is approximated by the function G=0.003t3+0.137t2+0.458t0.839,2t34 where G is the height of the tree (in feet) and t is its age (in years). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Estimate the age of the tree when it is growing most rapidly. This point is called the point of diminishing returns because the increase in size will be less with each additional year. (c) Using calculus, the point of diminishing returns can be found by finding the vertex of the parabola y=0.009t2+0.274t+0.458. Find the vertex of this parabola. (d) Compare your results from parts (b) and (c).arrow_forward
