Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(F\) is jointly proportional to \(r\) and the third power of \(s\) \((F=4158 \text { when } r=11 \text { and } s=3 .)\)
Find the difference quotient and simplify your Answer: $$f(x)=x^{2 / 3}+1, \quad \frac{f(x)-f(8)}{x-8}, \quad x \neq 8$$
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(P\) varies directly as \(x\) and inversely as the square of \(y .\) \(\left(P=\frac{28}{3} \text { when } x=42 \text { and } y=9 .\right)\)
Graph each of the functions with a graphing utility. Determine whether the function is even, odd, or neither. $$\begin{aligned}&\begin{array}{ll}f(x)=x^{2}-x^{4} & g(x)=2 x^{3}+1 \\\h(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{3}+x & j(x)=2-x^{6}-x^{8}\end{array}\\\&k(x)=x^{5}-2 x^{4}+x-2 \quad p(x)=x^{9}+3 x^{5}-x^{3}+x \end{aligned}$$
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.
