Query class notes #04 explain how we can prove that the rate-of-depth-change function for depth function y = a t^2 + b t + c is y' = 2 a t + b

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The rate of depth change is equal to the change of depth divided by the change in time. Given two points, this rate of depth change is equal to the slope of the line between them. Slope is equal the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values which is the same equation as our rate of depth change equation. Our two points are (t, y(t)) and ( t + `dt, y(t + `dt)). The rate of depth change (and the slope) is equal to y(t +`dt) - y(t) / (t + `dt) - t. We know that y(t)=at^2 + bt + c and substituting (t + `dt) into that equation, we can find y(t +`dt). We find (2at`dt + a`dt + b`dt)/(t + `dt -t). After factoring, our equation becomes 2at + a`dt + b. Since we want to know the value of our function as `dt nears 0, we can substitute 0 for `dt. Thus, our equation for y`=2at + b.

`questionNumber 40000

explain how we know that the depth function for rate-of-depth-change function y' = m t + b must be y = 1/2 m t^2 + b t + c, for some constant c, and explain the significance of the constant c.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Since y'=2at + b and y'=mt + b, we can see from these equations that

m=2a

m/2=a.

So, substituting m into the quadratic for a, we must use m/2 or 1/2 m.

Significance of c?

The constant c is of no significance and is largely ignored when solving these equations.

`questionNumber 40000

Explain why, given only the rate-of-depth-change function y' and a time interval, we can determine only the change in depth and not the actual depth at any time, whereas if we know the depth function y we can determine the rate-of-depth-change function y' for any time.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

To determine an actual depth, we must have an actual time and then, plug that into the depth function y(t). Having y' and a time interval, we do not have an exact time, only the change of time. Therefore, it makes sense that we can only find the change of depth and not the exact depth.

`questionNumber 40000

In terms of the depth model explain the processes of differentiation and integration.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Differentiation involves taking the derivative of a function. y=at^2 + bt + c is the model for depth function. By taking the derivative we obtain y'=2at + b which gives the rate of depth change.

Integration is the process of turning the derivative of a function back into the original function. By taking the anti-derivative of y'=2at + b (the rate of depth change), we obtain the original function, y=at^2 + bt + c.

RESPONSE -->

Growth Rate=10%=.10

Growth Factor=1.1

How long does it take the principle to double?

P(t)=200(1.1)^t

P(t)=400=200(1.1)^t

t=(log2)/(log1.1)

t=7.3 years

At what time does the principle first reach $300?

P(t)=200(1.1)^t

P(t)=300=200(1.1)^t

At what time t is the principle equal to half its t = 20 value? What doubling time is associated with this result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

P(t)=200(1.1)^t

P(20)=200(1.1)^20

P(20)=1345.50

Half of t=20 value=1345.50/2=672.75

The doubling time for the principle $200 is the same, 7.3 yrs. The year value does not matter.

Desribe how on your graph how you obtained an estimate of the doubling time.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

On a graph, to determine the doubling time, move up the y-axis until you are at double your original y value. You then find this point on your graphed curve. From the point on the curve, you go directly down to the x-axis where time is represented.

Describe your graph and explain how it was used to estimate half-life.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The graph is a smooth curve that starts high on the y-axis. As the x-axis value increases, the y values decrease. The initial drop in y value is large and becomes smaller and smaller. To find the half-life, find the value corresponding to half the original amount (275mg). You then locate a y-value of 275 on the curve and drop down to the x-axis to estimate the x value (time). This is approximately 6 years.

explain why the negative t axis is a horizontal asymptote for this function.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Since the t values are negative, the are graphed on the negative t axis (aka negative x axis). This is a horizontal asymptote for this function because the y values are constantly becoming nearer and nearer to 0 without actually becoming 0.

These zeros are the points where the function actually crosses the x-axis. In this instance, the graphed function crosses the x-axis at (-3,0) and (-2,0). The y-values are 0 because the function is crossing the x-axis.

RESPONSE -->

P=-200x^2 + 2000x -3800

P>1000

1000=-200x^2 + 2000x -3800

0=-200x^2 + 2000x -4800

0=-200(x^2 -10x +24)

0=-200(x-6)(x-4)

x-6=0

x=6

x-4=0

x=4

This provides three intervals:

(-infinity,4), (4,6) ,(6,infinity)

We must test a sample value for each interval.

If the value is negative, it is an undefined interval. Values less than 4 are undefined. Values greater than 6 are also undefined. The proper interval is therefore 4
