An object weighting w pounds on the surface of the earth, will weight wR² W(x)=² x2 R. at distance z from the center of the earth, where R = 3,960 miles is the radius of the earth. Use linear approximation to estimate the weight lost by a 160 lb passenger flying in an airplane at an altitude h of 6 miles.

During 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. (Hint: It might help to first write A as a function of r. ) c) Draw a graph of the function A(t) for 10 minutes. d) At what time is the area of the ink stain about 25 square centimeter? Show how you answer this question. (i.e. ”I found it using desmos” is not sufficient)

Write a formula for the distance between a point (x, y) on the graph of y = x4 and the point (3, 11). Express your answer in terms of x. D(x) =

1. Find the equation of the line tangent to the curve y = Vx at the point (4,2). Hint: Write vx = x1/2 and apply the power rule. Include a screenshot or sketch of the graph of the curve and the tangent line together on the same graph. Desmos.com is a nice, free graphing tool. %3D
