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.
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Be sure to choose an appropriate viewing window. $$f(x)=|x-1|$$
Find the difference quotient and simplify your Answer: $$f(x)=x^{3}+3 x, \quad \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}, \quad h \neq 0$$
The cost of sending an overnight package from New York to Atlanta is 26.10 dollars for a package weighing up to, but not including, 1 pound and 4.35 dollars for each additional pound or portion of a pound. (a) Use the greatest integer function to create a model for the cost \(C\) of overnight delivery of a package weighing \(x\) pounds, \(x>0\). (b) Sketch the graph of the function.
The function \(F(y)=149.76 \sqrt{10} y^{5 / 2}\) estimates the force \(F\) (in tons) of water against the face of a dam, where \(y\) is the depth of the water (in feet). (a) Complete the table. What can you conclude from the table? $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline y & 5 & 10 & 20 & 30 & 40 \\\\\hline F(y) & & & & & \\\\\hline\end{array}$$ (b) Use the table to approximate the depth at which the force against the dam is \(1,000,000\) tons. (c) Find the depth at which the force against the dam is \(1,000,000\) tons algebraically.
