- In Exercises 69–76, graph each function, not by plotting points, but by starting with the graph of one of the standard functions presented in Figures 1.14–1.17 and applying an appropriate transformation. 69. y = -sqrt(2x + 1) 70. y =sqrt(1-x/2) 71. y = (x - 1)3 + 2 72. y = (1 - x)3 + 2 73. y = 1 /2x - 1 74. y=(2/x2)+1 72. y = (1 - x)3 + 2 75. y = -(x )^(1/3) 76. y = (-2x)^(2/3)arrow_forwardAmerica is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?arrow_forwardEach of Exercises 81–84 shows the graphs of the first and second derivatives of a function y = f(x). Copy the picture and add to it a sketch of the approximate graph of f, given that the graph passes through the point P.arrow_forward
- The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the UnitedStates during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992.Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.arrow_forwardFor Exercises 49–52, rewrite the equation so that the coefficient on x is positive.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 11–18, graph each function by making a table of coordinates. If applicable, use a graphing utility to confirm your hand-drawn graph. 11. f(x) = 4" 13. g(x) = ()* 15. h(x) = (})* 17. f(x) = (0.6) 12. f(x) = 5" 14. g(x) = () 16. h(x) = (})* 18. f(x) = (0.8)* %3!arrow_forward
- Your cardiac index is your heart's output, in liters of blood per minute, divided by your body's surface area, in square meters. The cardiac index, C(x), can be modeled by 7.644 C(x) = 10 s xs 80, where x is an individual's age, in years. The graph of the function is shown. Use the function to solve Exercises 95–96. 7.644 C(x) = %3D 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Age 95. a. Find the cardiac index of a 32-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction. b. Use the form of the answer in part (a) and a calculator to express the cardiac index to the nearest hundredth. Identify your solution as a point on the graph. 96. a. Find the cardiac index of an 80-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction.
