True-False Review
For Questions (a)-(f), decide if the given statement is true or false, and give a brief justification for your answer. If true, you can quote a relevant definition or theorem in fact from the text. If false, provide an example, illustration, or brief explanation of why the statement is false.

- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardThe data entry speed (in entries per minute) of a data clerk trainee is represented by S = 10/0.6x +7, 0sxs 100 where x is the number of hours of training he has had. What is the rate at which his speed is changing and what does this rate mean when he has had the following hours of training? (Give exact answers. Do not round.) (a) 15 hours of training What does this rate mean? If the training hours are -Select---v from 15 to hours, the student's typing speed will --Select--- about entry per minute. (b) 30 hours of training What does this rate mean? If the training hours are ---Select--- from 30 to hours, the student's typing speed will ---Select-- about entry per minute.arrow_forwardanswer and explainarrow_forward
- The motion of an oscillating weight suspended from a spring was measured by a motion detector. The data were collected, and the approximate maximum displacements from equilibrium (y = 3) are labeled in the figure. The distance y from the motion detector is measured in centimeters, and the time t is measured in seconds. (0.125, 3.32) 4 (a) Is y a function of t? O Yes ○ No (0.375, 2.68) 0.9 Explain. ○ For some value of t there is more than one value of y. ○ For some value of y there is more than one value of t. OFor each value of t there corresponds one and only one value of y. For each value of y there is some value of t. ◇ For each value of y there corresponds one and only one value of t. (b) Approximate the amplitude and period. amplitude period cm S (c) Find a model for the data. y = (d) Use a graphing utility to graph the model in part (c). Compare the result with the data in the figure.arrow_forwardApplications of Derivatives 4. An object moves along a horizontal line in a way that its position is described by the function s(1)%-3r-4r +121-6, 0sIS8 where s is in metres and t is in seconds. a) At what time(s) does the object stop moving? b) At what time(s) does the object have an acceleration of zero? c) Use your previous answers to determine during which time intervals the object is speeding up and slowing down. (Consider setting up a table for this analysis.)arrow_forwardExercise 7. UCLA researchers monitor the number of residential burglaries occurring in a partic- ular Los Angeles neighborhood. They find, on average that 3 burglaries occur in the neighborhood in each year. Let X be the number of burglaries that occur in one year. (a) What is an appropriate model for X? Briefly justify your answer, and how you parameters in your model. (b) Find P(X = 0). (c) Calculate the probability that P(X ≥ 6). Formally, this involves summing a series with infinitely many terms. You will need to calculate some terms and show that they decrease fast enough that you can approximate P(X ≥ 6) by a finite sum like P(6 ≤ X ≤ 10). (d) One year, there are 6 or more burglaries in the neighborhood; i.e. twice the usual number. Residents argue that the crime rate has gone up. Using your answer from (c), explain why the crime rate has not necessarily gone up in that year. choose anyarrow_forward
