A Support Bar A metal bar is to act as a furniture support. It is heated with a torch and then laid on a workbench for bending. The temperature B, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the bar t minutes after heat is applied is given by
a. | Make a graph of the temperature of the bar over the first 20 minutes. |
b. | The bar is hot enough to bend as long as its temperature is at least 400 degrees. During what time period is the bar at the proper temperature for bending? |
c. | What is the limiting value of B? |

- Power Consumption: The figure shows the power consumption in San Francisco for a day in September (P is measured in megawatts; t is hours stating at midnight). (a) What was the power consumption at 6:00 A.M? At 6:00 P.m.? (b) When was the power consumption the lowest? (c) Find the net change in the power consumption from 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M/arrow_forwardFlood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forwardEarthquake the graph shows the vertical acceleration of the Ground from the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angles, as measured by a seismograph. (Here t represents the time in seconds.) (a) At what time t did the earthquake first make noticeable movement of the Earth? (b) At what time t did the earthquakes seem to end? (c) At what time t was the maximum intensity of the earthquake list reachedarrow_forward
- Filling a Tank The water level in a tank rises 4feet every minute. Write an equation of change that describes the height H, in feet, of the water level at time t in minutes.arrow_forwardWork The work W required to lift an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the height h that the object is lifted. The work required to lift a 120-kilogram object 1.8 meters is 2116.8 joules. Find the amount of work required to lift a 100-kilogram object 1.5 meters.arrow_forwardMedical Drugs When a certain medical drug is administered to a patient, the number of milligrams remaining in the patients bloodstream after t hours is modeled by D(t)=50e0.2t How many milligrams of the drug remain in the patients bloodstream after 3 hours?arrow_forward
