Functions and Change: A Modeling Approach to College Algebra (MindTap Course List)
- A car’s value varies inversely with its age. Elena bought a two-year-old car for $20,000. a. Write the equation of variation. b. What will be the value of Elena’s car when it is 5 years old?arrow_forwardThe force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. Richard uses 24 pounds of pressure to break a 2-foot long board. a. Write the equation of variation. b. How many pounds of pressure is needed to break a 5-foot long board?arrow_forwardNeglecting air resistance, the distance s an object falls varies directly as the square of the duration t of the fall. An object falls a distance of 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far does it fall in 6 seconds?arrow_forward
- A cannonball fired out to sea from a shore battery follows a parabolic trajectory given by the graph of the equation h(x)=10x0.01x2 where h(x) is the height of the cannonball above the water when it has traveled a horizontal distance of x feet. a What is the maximum height that the cannonball reaches? b How far does the cannonball travel horizontally before splashing into the water?arrow_forwardAutomobile collisions The energy dissipated in an auto mobile collision varies directly with the square of the speed. By what factor does the energy increase in a 50-mph collision compared with a 20-mph collision?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forward
- Electrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter. A 1000-foot length of wire, 0.05 inch in diameter, has a resistance of 200 ohms. What would be the resistance of a 1500-foot length of wire that is 0.08 inch in diameter.arrow_forwardFilling a Tank The water level in a tank rises 4feet every minute. Write an equation of change that describes the height H, in feet, of the water level at time t in minutes.arrow_forwardRefer to the given graphs. The horizontal axis shows a person’s age. The vertical axis shows that person’s body-mass index (BMI), computed using the following formula: BMI = 703W/H2 . The variable W represents weight, in pounds. The variable H represents height, in inches. Use this information to solve, A man is 20 years old, 72 inches (6 feet) tall, and weighs 200 pounds. a. Compute the man’s BMI. Round to the nearest tenth. b. Use the man's age and his BMI to locate this information as a point in the coordinate system for males. Is this person obese, overweight, borderline overweight, normal weight, or underweight?arrow_forward
- The water level in a tank rises 4 feet every minute. Write an equation of change that describes the height H, in feet, of the water level at time t in minutes.a. dH/dt = 3b. dH/dt = 4c. dH/dt = 5d. dH.dt = 6arrow_forwardanswer asap thxarrow_forwardPlease show me step-by-step solutions .
