(a) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a quadratic model for the depths recorded in the table. Use the graphing utility to plot the depths and graph the model.
(b) Use the
(c) Use the result of part (b) to approximate the number of gallons of water in the pond. (Hint: 1 cubic foot of water is approximately 7.48 gallons.)

- Decide whether each limit exists. If a limit exists, estimate its value. 11. (a) lim f(x) x-3 f(x) ↑ 4 3- 2+ (b) lim f(x) x―0 -2 0 X 1234arrow_forwardDetermine whether the lines L₁ (t) = (-2,3, −1)t + (0,2,-3) and L2 p(s) = (2, −3, 1)s + (-10, 17, -8) intersect. If they do, find the point of intersection.arrow_forwardConvert the line given by the parametric equations y(t) Enter the symmetric equations in alphabetic order. (x(t) = -4+6t = 3-t (z(t) = 5-7t to symmetric equations.arrow_forward

- Find the (perpendicular) distance from the line given by the parametric equations (x(t) = 5+9t y(t) = 7t = 2-9t z(t) to the point (-1, 1, −3).arrow_forwardLet ä(t) = (3,-2,-5)t + (7,−1, 2) and (u) = (5,0, 3)u + (−3,−9,3). Find the acute angle (in degrees) between the lines:arrow_forwardA tank initially contains 50 gal of pure water. Brine containing 3 lb of salt per gallon enters the tank at 2 gal/min, and the (perfectly mixed) solution leaves the tank at 3 gal/min. Thus, the tank is empty after exactly 50 min. (a) Find the amount of salt in the tank after t minutes. (b) What is the maximum amount of salt ever in the tank?arrow_forward
