The population of a herd of deer is modeled by
- (a) How does this population vary with time? Sketch a graph of P(t) for one year.
- (b) Use the graph to decide when in the year the population is a maximum. What is that maximum? Is there a minimum? If so, when?
- (c) Use the graph to decide when the population is growing fastest. When is it decreasing fastest?
- (d) Estimate roughly how fast the population is changing on the first of July.

- If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forwardFind an equation of the tangent line to the parabola y=3x2 at the point 1,3.arrow_forwardA path of a toy rocket thrown upward from the ground at a rate of 208 ft/sec is modeled by the quadratic function of. h(x)=16t2+208t.

- When 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_forwardAssume that an object tossed vertically upward reaches a height of h feet after t seconds, where h=100t16t2. What is that maximum height?arrow_forwardthe height of the tide in meters at a particular habour can be modelled by sinusoidal function d=3sin(0.52t+0.75)+7 where is t is time ,in hours after midnight on a particular day. to the nearest hundredth the earliest time after midnight on that day that the highest of the tide is at its minimum depth isarrow_forward
- Sketch a graph of the function g(x)=-2sin(1/4x - pi/4)+1. Be sure to label the scale on the axes and draw at least two cycles.arrow_forwardA Ferris wheel is 20 meters in diameter and completes 1 full revolution in 16 minutes. revolves 1 meter ground [13 A Ferris wheel is 20 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o'clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 16 minutes. The function h (t) gives a person's height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. a. Find the amplitude, midline, and period of h (t). Enter the exact answers. diameter Amplitude: A = Number Midline: h= Number meters Period: P = Number minutes meters b. Assume that a person has just boarded the Ferris wheel from the platform and that the Ferris wheel starts spinning at time t = 0. Find a formula for the height function h (t). Hints: • What is the value of h (0)? • Is this the maximum value of h (t), the minimum value of h (t), or a value between the two? • The function sin (t) has a value between its maximum and…arrow_forward
