Chapter 1.3, Problem 25E
The city of New Orleans is located at latitude 30°N. Use Figure 9 to find a function that models the number of hours of daylight at New Orleans as a function of the time of year. To check the accuracy of your model, use the fact that on March 31 the sun rises at 5:51 AM and sets at 6:18 PM in New Orleans.

A hot air balloon is at 400 feet above sea level and begins rising at a rate of 105 feet per minute. You are going to be asked a question about time and elevations, so graph this relationship: the balloon elevation (call it y) as a function of time (call it x). Your graph will show the differing elevation of the balloon as time passes.A second balloon at 1500 feet above sea level begins descending at a rate of 163 feet per minute. Graph this relationship; the balloon elevation as a function of time.
1)At some point, the two balloons will pass each other. When they do, their elevation will be_________________________
2)How many minutes before they pass?

Graph the relationship between the plane's elevation relative to the ground (in kilometers) and time (in minutes).arrow_forwardA Ferris wheel has a diameter of 40 meters and rotates at a constant speed completing one full revolution every 2 minutes. If a person gets on the Ferris wheel at the bottommost point, express the person's height above the ground as a function of time, assuming the center of the Ferris wheel is at ground level. Answer: The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 40 meters, which means the radius (r) is half of the diameter, i.e., (r = 20) meters. The Ferris wheel completes one full revolution every 2 minutes. The period (T) of the Ferris wheel is the time it takes to complete one full revolution. In this case, T = 2 minutes. The angular frequency (w) can be calculated using the formula (w = 2/?). Substituting the given value for (T): w = 2/? = ? radians per minute. Now, the height (h) of the person above the ground as a function of time (t) can be expressed using a sine function. The general form of a sine function is h(t) = A sin(wt+ϕ)+C where: - A is the amplitude (half the range of the…arrow_forward
- By the end of February, Rachel's family had used 7,800 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity since they had moved in. On average, her family uses 900 kWh of electricity every month. Let x represent the number of months since the end of February and let y represent the electric meter reading, in kWh. Part A Determine a function using x and y that models the relationship above.arrow_forwardImagine that you are studying how the number of rabbits and chipmunks evolved between 1950 and 2000 in New York, You have collected historical data and have summarized it in the following graph: a) Find an expression for each species that helps you calculate the number of animals of each species between 1950 and 2000 as a function of the year. Use R as a symbol for rabbits, C as the symbol for chipmunks, and Y as the symbol for years. You will be finding two seperate equations. b) For which year was the population of rabbits approximately four times the population of the chipmunks? c) There is data that supports the hypothesis that linear trends observed between 1950 and 2000 will continue in the future. By which year will both populations be approximately the same?arrow_forwardSketch the graph of the functionarrow_forward
- The amount of snowfall in the arctic circle-year round closely follows an absolute value function, where the snowfall in January 1 (day 1 ) has an average of 28 inches, and on July 1 (day 182) it has an average of 2 inches. Find the equation that models this data.arrow_forwardA ferris wheel has a radius of 28 feet and completes 3 revolution in 1.5 minutes. Assume the nder begins at the lowest point of the wheel, 2 feet above ground level. Model the height of the rider, in feet above the ground, as a function of time in seconds, using a sine equation with only positive numbers in the final equation.arrow_forwardOutside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 45 degrees at midnight and the high and low temperature during the day are 61 and 29 degrees, respectively. Assuming tis the number of hours since midnight, find an equation for the temperature, D, in terms of t.arrow_forward
