Problem 47
For each piecewise function, find the specified function values. $$\begin{aligned} &g(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{l} x+4, \text { for } x \leq 1 \\ 8-x, \text { for } x>1 \end{array}\right.\\\ &g(-4), g(0), g(1), \text { and } g(3) \end{aligned}$$
Problem 47
In economics, functions that involve revenue, cost, and profit are used. For example, suppose that \(R(x)\) and \(C(x)\) denote the total revenue and the total cost, respectively, of producing a new grocery cart for Ogata Wholesalers. Then the difference $$ P(x)=R(x)-C(x) $$ represents the total profit for producing \(x\) carts. Given \(R(x)=60 x-0.4 x^{2}\) and \(C(x)=3 x+13\) find each of the following. A. \(P(x)\) B. \(R(100), C(100),\) and \(P(100)\) C. Using a graphing calculator, graph the three functions in the viewing window \([0,160,0,3000]\)
Problem 47
Find \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) such that \(h(x)=(f \circ g)(x)\) Answers may vary. $$h(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x-5}{x+2}}$$
Problem 51
A stone is thrown into a pond, creating a circular ripple that spreads over the pond in such a way that the radius is increasing at a rate of \(3 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}\). (IMAGE CANNOT COPY) a) Find a function \(r(t)\) for the radius in terms of \(t\) b) Find a function \(A(r)\) for the area of the ripple in terms of the radius \(r\) c) Find \((A \circ r)(t) .\) Explain the meaning of this function.
Problem 52
