For Exercises 29-48, use a variation model to solve for the unknown value. A chef self-publishes a cookbook and finds that the number of books she can sell per month varies inversely as the price of the book. The chef can sell 1500 books per month when the price is set at $8 per book. a. How many books would she expect to sell per month if the price were $12? b. How many books would she expect to sell pet month if the price were $15? c. How many books would she expect to sell per month if the price were $6? d. If the chef sells 1200 books, what price was set?

After a great deal of experimentation, two college senior physics majors determined that when a bottle of French champagne is shaken several times, held upright, and uncorked,
its cork travels according to the function below, where s is its height (in feet) above the ground t seconds after being released.
s(t)=-16t² + 30t+3
a. How high will it go?
b. How long is it in the air?
+6x²+135x+1) (0≤x≤10). a) Find the number of units
The total profit P(x) (in thousands of dollars) from a sale of x thousand units of a new product is given by P(x) = In (-x²+6x² + 135x+
that should be sold in order to maximize the total profit. b) What is the maximum profit?
The fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 8 percent per year. It is estimated that the
population in the year 2000 was 22600.
(a) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t = 0 for 2000).
Your answer is P(t)
=
(b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.
Your answer is (the answer should be an integer)
