Find \(a\) so that the point (-1,2) is on the graph of \(f(x)=a x^{2}+4\)
Population as a Function of Age The function $$ P=P(a)=0.027 a^{2}-6.530 a+363.804 $$ represents the population \(P\) (in millions) of Americans who are at least \(a\) years old in 2015 (a) Identify the dependent and independent variables. (b) Evaluate \(P(20) .\) Explain the meaning of \(P(20)\) (c) Evaluate \(P(0)\). Explain the meaning of \(P(0)\).
Effect of Gravity on Earth If a rock falls from a height of 20 meters on Earth, the height \(H\) (in meters) after \(x\) seconds is approximately $$ H(x)=20-4.9 x^{2} $$ (a) What is the height of the rock when \(x=1\) second? When \(x=1.1\) seconds? When \(x=1.2\) seconds? (b) When is the height of the rock 15 meters? When is it 10 meters? When is it 5 meters? (c) When does the rock strike the ground?
Which of the following functions has a graph that is symmetric about the \(y\) -axis? (a) \(y=\sqrt{x}\) (b) \(y=|x|\) (c) \(y=x^{3}\) (d) \(y=\frac{1}{x}\)
The slope of the secant line containing the two points \((x, f(x))\) and \((x+h, f(x+h))\) on the graph of a function \(y=f(x)\) may be given as \(m_{\mathrm{sec}}=\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{(x+h)-x}=\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \quad h \neq 0\) (a) Express the slope of the secant line of each function in terms of \(x\) and \(h\). Be sure to simplify your answer. (b) Find \(m_{\text {sec }}\) for \(h=0.5,0.1\), and 0.01 at \(x=1 .\) What value does \(m_{\text {sec }}\) approach as h approaches \(0 ?\) (c) Find an equation for the secant line at \(x=1\) with \(h=0.01\). (d) Use a graphing utility to graph fand the secant line found in part ( \(c\) ) in the same viewing window. Problems \(85-92\) require the following discussion of a secant line. The slope of the secant line containing the two points \((x, f(x))\) and \((x+h, f(x+h))\) on the graph of a function \(y=f(x)\) may be given as \(m_{\mathrm{sec}}=\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{(x+h)-x}=\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \quad h \neq 0\) (a) Express the slope of the secant line of each function in terms of \(x\) and \(h\). Be sure to simplify your answer.
