Sketch the graph of the function. $$h(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}4-x^{2}, & x<-2 \\\3+x, & -2 \leq x<0 \\\x^{2}+1, & x \geq 0\end{array}\right.$$
The height \(y\) (in feet) of a baseball thrown by a child is $$y=-\frac{1}{10} x^{2}+3 x+6$$ where \(x\) is the horizontal distance (in feet) from where the ball was thrown. Will the ball fly over the head of another child 30 feet away trying to catch the ball? (Assume that the child who is trying to catch the ball holds a baseball glove at a height of 5 feet.)
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(P\) varies directly as \(x\) and inversely as the square of \(y .\) \(\left(P=\frac{28}{3} \text { when } x=42 \text { and } y=9 .\right)\)
Sketch the graph of the function. $$g(x)=[[x-3]]$$
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 \(3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
