- bThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forwardThe population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardWhen a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?arrow_forward
- Determine if the statemment is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. If the function f increases on the interval -,x1 and decreases on the interval x1,, then fx1 is a local minimum value.arrow_forwardThe population Pinmillions of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardThe rate of U.S. per capita sales of bottled water for the period 1993-2003 could be approximated by Q(t) = 0.05r +0.41 +9 where t is the time in years since 1990. Compute the average annual sales of bottled water over the period 1996-2003, to the nearest gallon per year. O a. 15 gallons per year b. 17 gallons per year O c. 16 gallons per year O d. 18 gallons per year е. 19 gallons per yeararrow_forward
- Plot the following functions 1. y =-V2x +1 2. y = (x - 1)3 + 2 %3D 3. y =-1 2x 4. y2 = 6 - x %3D 5. y = 1- |x| 6. y = -x|x|arrow_forwardThe monthly payment for a home loan is given by a function f(P,r, N) where P is the principal (the initial size of the loan), r the interest rate, and N the length of the loan in months. Interest rates are expressed as a decimal: A % interest rate is denoted by r = 0.085. If P = 500000, r = 0.085, and N = 276(a 23-year loan), then the monthly payment is f(500000, 0.085, 276) = 788. Furthermore, with these values we have af ӘР Estimate: (a) The change in monthly payment per 2000 increase in loan principal: Afa dollars = 0.0077, of Ər = 8006, (b) The change in monthly payment if the interest rate changes from r = 0.085 to r = 0.075: Afa dollars (c) The change in monthly payment if the length of the loan changes from 23 to 25 years: dollars Af af ƏN : -1.6048arrow_forward
