Temperature data Hourly temperature data for Boulder, Colorado. San Francisco, California. Nantucket, Massachusetts, and Duluth, Minnesota, over a 12 hr period on the same day of January are shown in the figure. Assume that these data are taken from a continuous temperature function T(t). The average temperature over the 12-hr period is
30. Find an accurate approximation to the average temperature over the 12-hr period for Duluth. State your method.

- The 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_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forward
- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardUse the table of values you made in part 4 of the example to find the limiting value of the average rate of change in velocity.arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forward

Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forward
