- EXERCISE 2.9.3: Floor and ceiling functions. Compute the value of each expression. (a) ⌊−3.7⌋ (b) ⌈−4.2⌉ (c) ⌈5⌉ (d) ⌊⌊3.5⌋−4.3⌋ (e) ⌊32+⌈13⌉⌋arrow_forwardYour cardiac index is your heart's output, in liters of blood per minute, divided by your body's surface area, in square meters. The cardiac index, C(x), can be modeled by 7.644 C(x) = 10 s xs 80, where x is an individual's age, in years. The graph of the function is shown. Use the function to solve Exercises 95–96. 7.644 C(x) = %3D 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Age 95. a. Find the cardiac index of a 32-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction. b. Use the form of the answer in part (a) and a calculator to express the cardiac index to the nearest hundredth. Identify your solution as a point on the graph. 96. a. Find the cardiac index of an 80-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction.

Then graph the composition of the two functions on separate screens. Do the graphs make sense in each case? Give reasons for your answers. Comment on any differences you see. 63. a. y = tan-1 (tan x) b. y = tan (tan-1 x) 64. a. y = sin-1 (sin x) b. y = sin (sin-1 x) 65. a. y = cos-1 (cos x) b. y = cos (cos-1 x)arrow_forward
- In Exercises 69–76, graph each function, not by plotting points, but by starting with the graph of one of the standard functions presented in Figures 1.14–1.17 and applying an appropriate transformation. 69. y = -sqrt(2x + 1) 70. y =sqrt(1-x/2) 71. y = (x - 1)3 + 2 72. y = (1 - x)3 + 2 73. y = 1 /2x - 1 74. y=(2/x2)+1 72. y = (1 - x)3 + 2 75. y = -(x )^(1/3) 76. y = (-2x)^(2/3)arrow_forwardThe figure shows the graphs of the cost and revenue functions for a company that manufactures and sells small radios. Use the information in the figure to solve Exercises 67–72. 35,000 30,000 C(x) = 10,000 + 30x 25,000 20,000 15,000 R(x) = 50x 10,000 5000 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Radios Produced and Sold 67. How many radios must be produced and sold for the company to break even? 68. More than how many radios must be produced and sold for the company to have a profit? 69. Use the formulas shown in the voice balloons to find R(200) – C(200). Describe what this means for the company. 70. Use the formulas shown in the voice balloons to find R(300) – C(300). Describe what this means for the company. 71. a. Use the formulas shown in the voice balloons to write the company's profit function, P, from producing and selling x radios. b. Find the company's profit if 10,000 radios are produced and sold. 72. a. Use the formulas shown in the voice balloons to write the company's profit function,…arrow_forwardproblen 1.2arrow_forward
