- (b) Find a linear model using the first and last data points. (Use x for income measured in dollars and y for ulcers per 100 people. Round your values to eight decimal places.)arrow_forward5. A particular rocket taking off from the Earth's surface uses fuel at a constant rate of 12.5 gallons per minute. The rocket initially contains 225 gallons of fuel. (b) Below is a general sketch of what the graph of your model should look like. Using your calculator, determine the x and y intercepts of this model and label them on the graph at points A and B respectively. (a) Determine a linear model, in y= ax + b form, for the amount of fuel the rocket has remaining, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x. (c) The rocket must still contain 50 gallons of fuel when it hits the stratosphere. What is the maximum number of minutes the rocket can take to hit the stratosphere? Show this point on your graph by also graphing the horizontal line y= 50 and showing the intersection point.arrow_forwardNewborn blue whales are approximately 24 feet long and weigh 3 tons. Young whales are nursed for 7 months, and by the time of weaning they often are 58 feet long and weigh 19 tons. Let L and W denote the length (in feet) and the weight (in tons), respectively, of a whale that is t months of age. (a) If L and t are linearly related, express L in terms of t. (b) What is the daily increase in the length of a young whale? (Use 1 month = 30 days. Round your answer to three decimal places.) ________ ft/day (c)If W and t are linearly related, express W in terms of t. (d) What is the daily increase in the weight of a young whale? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) __________tons/dayarrow_forward
- . Two neighborhoods, A and B, are identical: Each has 100 housing units; all housing units are of the same size and quality. 100 blue households and 100 red households will be living in these two neighborhoods. The two racial groups’ rent premium curves are as follows: Identify the three equilibria. For each equilibrium, determine whether it is stable or not. Please explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, measured in parts per million, has been increasing as a result of the burning of oil and coal. The buildup of gases and particles traps heat and raises the planet’s temperature. The bar graph in Figure (a) gives the average atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and the average global temperature for six selected years. The data are displayed as a set of six points in a rectangular coordinate system in Figure (b) [see attached]. Solve, Use the data points (317, 57.04) and (354, 57.64), shown, but not labeled, in Figure (b) [see attached herewith] to obtain a linear function that models average global temperature, f(x), for an atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration of x parts per million. Round m to three decimal places and b to one decimal place. Then use the function to project average global temperature at a concentration of 600 parts per million.arrow_forwardThe population dynamics of many fish species (such as salmon) can be described by the Ricker curve: y=axe-bx, where a > 1 and b > 1 are constants, x is the size of the parental stock, and y is the number of offspring. Determine the size of the parental stock that maximizes the number of offspring. (Your answer will involve the constants a and b).arrow_forward
- An agricultural scientist planted alfalfa on several plots of land, identical except for the soil pH. Fol-lowing are the dry matter yields (in pounds per acre) for each plot. pH 4.6 4.8 5.2 5.4 5.6 5.8 6 Yield 1056 1833 1629 1852 1783 2647 2131 a) Construct a scatterplot of yield (y) versus pH (x). Verify that a linear model is appropriate. b) Compute the least-squares line for predicting yield from pH. c) Compute the fitted value and the residual for each point. d) If the pH is increased by 0.1, by how much would you predict the yield to increase or decrease? e) Predict the yield for a pH of 5.5. f) Can the least-squares line be used to predict the yield for a pH of 7? If so, predict the yield. If not, explain why not. g) For what pH would you predict a yield of 1500 pounds per acre?arrow_forwardA mass balance equation describes the transient distribution of mass at every point in space. It is used extensively in many areas of chemical engineering just like environmental engineering. To monitor the pollutants in a well-mixed lake, a mass balance of the following equation is used W-kvvc c = Q = 1 x 105 m³/yr, V = 1 x 106 m³, and Parameter values are: W = 1 x 106 g/yr, k = 0.25 m0.5 / g0.5 / yr. Employ an initial guess of cof 4 and 5 g/m³. Perform three iterations and determine the percent true error after the third iteration. The root can be located with false position method.arrow_forwardConsider a problem of two connected tanks T1 and T2 containing 300 gallons of water each. Initially, Tank 1 contains 501b of salt while tank 2 contains 100 lb of salt. The liquid circulate between the two tanks at the rate of 10 gallons/min. Tank T1 Tank T2 300 gal 300 gal The amount of salt in T1 and T2 represented by Y1(t) and Y2(t) changes with time t due to flow of liquid and continuous stirring. 1. Calculate the amount of salt in each tank after 15 min. 2. How long will it take to get equal amount of salt in each tank.arrow_forward
