- Temperature The graph shows the temperature T in degrees Celsius as a function of the altitude h in feet when an inversion layer is over Southern California. An inversion layer is formed when air at a higher altitude, say 300 ft, is warmer than the air at sea level, even though air normally is cooler with increasing altitude. Estimate and interpret the average rate of change in temperature for the following changes in altitude. a. 1000to3000ft b. 1000to5000ft c. 3000to9000ft d. 1000to9000ft e. At what altitude at or below 7000ft is the temperature highest ? Lowest ? How would your answer change if 7000ft is changed to 10,000ft? f. At what altitude is the temperature the same as it is at 1000ft?arrow_forwardThe half-life of plutonium-244 is 80,000,000 years. Find function gives the amount of carbon-14 remaining as a function of time, measured in years.arrow_forwardCeramics When the temperature of a pot in a kiln is 1200, an artist turns off the heat and leaves the pot to cool at a controlled rate of 18 per hour. Express the temperature of the pot in degrees Celsius as a function of the time t in hours since the kiln was turned off.arrow_forward
- Bird Population The graph shows the population of a rare species of bird, where t represents years since 2009 and n(t) is measured in thousands. a Find a function that models the bird population at time t in the form n(t)=n0ert. b What is the bird population expected to be in the year 2020?arrow_forwardWhat is the composition of two functions, fg ?arrow_forward
