Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Be sure to choose an appropriate viewing window. $$f(x)=x^{3}-1$$
(a) use a graphing utility to graph the function and (b) state the domain and range of the function. $$s(x)=2\left(\frac{1}{4} x-\left[\frac{1}{4} x\right]\right)$$
An oceanographer took readings of the water temperatures \(C\) (in degrees Celsius) at several depths \(d\) (in meters). The data collected are shown as ordered pairs \((d, C)\) (Spreadsheet at LarsonPrecalculus.com) $$\begin{aligned} &(1000,4.2) \quad(4000,1.2)\\\ &(2000,1.9) \quad(5000,0.9)\\\ &(3000,1.4) \end{aligned}$$ A.Sketch a scatter plot of the data. B. Does it appear that the data can be modeled by the inverse variation model \(C=k / d ?\) If so, find \(k\) for each pair of coordinates. C. Determine the mean value of \(k\) from part (b) to find the inverse variation model \(C=k / d\) D. Use a graphing utility to plot the data points and the inverse model from part (c). E. Use the model to approximate the depth at which the water temperature is \(3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(F\) is jointly proportional to \(r\) and the third power of \(s\) \((F=4158 \text { when } r=11 \text { and } s=3 .)\)
Sketch the graph of the function. $$f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}1-(x-1)^{2}, & x \leq 2 \\\\\sqrt{x-2}, & x>2\end{array}\right.$$
