Pole in a corner A pole of length \(L\) is carried horizontally around a corner where a 3 -ft-wide hallway meets a 4 -ft-wide hallway. For \(0<\theta<\pi / 2,\) find the relationship between \(L\) and \(\theta\) at the moment when the pole simultaneously touches both walls and the corner \(P .\) Estimate \(\theta\) when \(L=10 \mathrm{ft}.\)
Daylight function for \(40^{\circ}\) N Verify that the function $$ D(t)=2.8 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{365}(t-81)\right)+12 $$ has the following properties, where \(t\) is measured in days and \(D\) is the number of hours between sunrise and sunset. a. It has a period of 365 days. b. Its maximum and minimum values are 14.8 and \(9.2,\) respectively, which occur approximately at \(t=172\) and \(t=355\) respectively (corresponding to the solstices). c. \(D(81)=12\) and \(D(264) \approx 12\) (corresponding to the equinoxes).
Consider the quartic polynomial \(y=f(x)=x^{4}-x^{2}\) a. Graph \(f\) and estimate the largest intervals on which it is oneto-one. The goal is to find the inverse function on each of these intervals. b. Make the substitution \(u=x^{2}\) to solve the equation \(y=f(x)\) for \(x\) in terms of \(y .\) Be sure you have included all possible solutions. c. Write each inverse function in the form \(y=f^{-1}(x)\) for each of the intervals found in part (a).
Use the following steps to prove that \(\log _{b} x^{z}=z \log _{b} x\) a. Let \(x=b^{p}\). Solve this expression for \(p\) b. Use property E3 for exponents to express \(x^{z}\) in terms of \(b\) and \(p\) c. Compute \(\log _{b} x^{z}\) and simplify.
Make a sketch of the given pairs of functions. Be sure to draw the graphs accurately relative to each other. $$y=x^{4} \text { and } y=x^{6}$$
