- 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_forwardThe population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardFind the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forward
- An arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardA forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forwardThe San Francisco Bay tides vary between 1 foot and 7 feet. The tide is at its lowest point when time (t) is 0 and completes a full cycle in 8 hours. What is the amplitude, period, and midline of a function that would model this periodic phenomenon? A. Amplitude = 6 feet; period = 8 hours; midline: y = 4 B. Amplitude = 6 feet; period = 4 hours; midline: y = 3 C. Amplitude = 3 feet; period = 8 hours; midline: y = 4 D. Amplitude = 3 feet; period = 4 hours; midline: y = 3arrow_forward
- 4.2 The power P (in Watts) consumed by an electric device running on alternating current (AC) is given by the equation P=VI cose, where V is the peak voltage (in Volts), I is the 2 peak current (in Amps), and 0 is the radian phase difference between the sinusoid oscillation of V and the sinusoid oscillation of I. (a) Find the power needed to sustain an AC current of 12 Volts and 5 Amps with a phase difference of radians. (b) Approximate dP if V,I are constant and de=0.03 radians. 3 (c) Approximate dP if V,0 are constant and dI=-0.08 Amps. (d) Approximate dV if 1,0 are constant and dP=0.02 Watts.arrow_forward4. A lighthouse is located 40 meters off-shore. The beam of light from the lighthouse rotates at a rate of 2 revolutions per minute clockwise. The beam hits a cliff on the beach 60 meters away, producing a dot of light that moves horizontally along this cliff. Let be the angle between the beam and the line through the searchlight perpendicular to the cliff. Use a trig function for the relationship. T a. How fast is this light moving along the beach when = if the beam is moving toward the h 3 perpendicular line? (remember you need radians for trig functions and their derivatives) b. How fast is this beam moving when I if the dot is moving away from the perpendicular 13 line?

The ferris wheel rotates at a constant speed of 15%/s. There is only one red seat on the ferris where. a. Graph one rotation below b. Determine an equation of a sine function which describes the height of the red seat where h is the height in metres and t is the time in secondsarrow_forwardA lab calculates that the number of bacteria, N, in a culture grows according to the function N(t) = 600e°.0517 where t is hours since the start of the experiment. a. How many bacteria were there initially (at the start of the experiment)? bacteria b. How many bacteria are there 90 minutes after the start of the experiment? Round to the nearest whole number.
