The frequency of vibrations of a piano string varies directly as the square root of the tension on the string and inversely as the length of the string. The middle A string has a frequency of 440 vibrations per second. Find the frequency of a string that has 1.25 times as much tension and is 1.2 times as long.
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(F\) is jointly proportional to \(r\) and the third power of \(s\) \((F=4158 \text { when } r=11 \text { and } s=3 .)\)
Use Hooke's Law for springs, which states that the distance a spring is stretched (or compressed) varies directly as the force on the spring. An overhead garage door has two springs, one on each side of the door. A force of 15 pounds is required to stretch each spring 1 foot. Because of a pulley system, the springs stretch only one-half the distance the door travels. The door moves a total of 8 feet, and the springs are at their natural lengths when the door is open. Find the combined lifting force applied to the door by the springs when the door is closed.
Graph each of the functions with a graphing utility. Determine whether the function is even, odd, or neither. $$\begin{aligned}&\begin{array}{ll}f(x)=x^{2}-x^{4} & g(x)=2 x^{3}+1 \\\h(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{3}+x & j(x)=2-x^{6}-x^{8}\end{array}\\\&k(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{4}+x-2 \quad p(x)=x^{9}+3 x^{5}-x^{3}+x \end{aligned}$$
Finding a Mathematical Model In Exercises \(41-50\), find a mathematical model for the verbal statement. For a constant temperature, the pressure \(P\) of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume \(V\) of the gas.
