An investigator has reported the data tabulated below for an
experiment to determine the growth rate of bacteria k (per d) as a
function of oxygen concentration c (mg/L). It is known that such data
can be modeled by the following equation:
c²
k = kme
max
C, +c?
where cs and kmax are parameters. Plot the data to prove it can fit
into the equation. Use a transformation to linearize this equation.
Then use linear regression to estimate c, and kmax and predict the
growth rate at c = 2 mg/L.

The police department must determine the speed limit on a bridge such that the flow rate of cars is maximum per unit time. The greater the speed limit, the farther apart the cars must be in order to keep a safe stopping distance. Experimental data on the stopping distances d (in meters) for various speeds v (in kilometers per hour) are shown in the table. (a) Convert the speeds v in the table to speeds s in meters per second. Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a model of the form d(s) = as2 + bs + c for the data. (b) Consider two consecutive vehicles of average length 5.5 meters, traveling at a safe speed on the bridge. Let T be the difference between the times (in seconds) when the front bumpers of the vehicles pass a given point on the bridge. Verify that this difference in times is given by T = d(s)/s + 5.5/s . (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the function T and estimate the speed s that minimizes the time between vehicles. (d) Use calculus to…
