Question

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains handwritten text that outlines a mathematical task. The task is as follows:
1. \( F(t) = 73 - 23e^{-0.8t} \)
Instructions: Using increments of 1/2 hours for \( t \), graph the formula.
Explanation for Educational Website:
This is a mathematical exercise involving an exponential function. The equation \( F(t) = 73 - 23e^{-0.8t} \) represents a function where \( F(t) \) is dependent on the variable \( t \), typically representing time.
The goal is to graph this function, plotting the values of \( F(t) \) at increments of 0.5 hours, using the specified formula.
To graph it:
1. Calculate the value of \( F(t) \) for \( t = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, \ldots \).
2. Plot these points on a graph with \( t \) on the x-axis and \( F(t) \) on the y-axis.
3. Connect these points to visualize the behavior of the function over time.
4. Observe the trend and shape of the graph, noting the effect of the exponential term \( e^{-0.8t} \) on the function’s rate of change.
This exercise helps in understanding how to evaluate and graph exponential functions incrementally.

- The deck of a bridge is suspended 285 feet above a river. If a pebble falls off the side of the bridge, the height, in feet, of the pebble above the water surface after t seconds is given by y = 285 − 16t2. (a) Find the average velocity (in ft/s) of the pebble for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting the following amount of time. (i) 0.1 seconds (ii)0.05 seconds (iii)0.01 seconds (b) Estimate the instantaneous velocity (in ft/s) of the pebble after 2 seconds.arrow_forwardDuring Ricardo noticed an ink stain with a diameter of about 3 cm on the front of his teacher’s shirt. He then noticed that there was a pen in the pocket and that the ink blot was continuing to spread across the front of the teacher’s shirt. He estimated that the diameter of the ink blot seemed to be growing by about 0.5 cm every 2 minutes. a) Write an equation for the RADIUS, r, of the ink stain, as a function of time, t. Assume that t = 0 represents the time that Ricardo first noticed the ink stain. b) Write an equation showing the AREA, A, of the ink stain as a function of the time t.
