Hurricanes are one of nature’s most destructive forces. These low-pressure areas often have diameters of over 500 miles. The function f(x) = 0.48 ln(x + 1) + 27 models the barometric air pressure, f(x), in inches of mercury, at a distance of x miles from the eye of a hurricane. Use this function to solve Exercises 133–
Use an equation to answer this question: How far from the eye of a hurricane is the barometric air pressure 29 inches of mercury? Use the

- Solve each problem. w is directly proportional to z. If w=-6 when z=2, find w when z=-3.arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardT · drarrow_forward

At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 11.5 centimeters and the area is 88 square centimeters? cm/minarrow_forwardSuppose you take a ride on a Ferris Wheel that has a radius of 100 feet. The center of the wheel is 110 feet above the ground and it takes 20 minutes to make a complete revolution. You board in the 6:00 position. Write an equation for h(t), which models your height above the ground, in feet, as a function of the time t, in minutes, since you boarded the Ferris Wheel. Your equation should refer to radians, not to degrees. Indicate the amplitude, the period and the equation of the midline. 3.1 Equation: h(t) =, 3.2 Amplitude: 3.3 Period: 3.4 Midline: 3.5 Determine the angular speed of the Ferris wheel. Units should be degrees per minute. The angular speed is degrees per minute.arrow_forward
