MPH Wind or A Person in Chicago at 20°F With A 25-mph Wind

The person in Minneapolis at 10°F with 15 mph winds will feel colder than the person in Chicago at 20°F with 25 mph winds. The wind chill calculation determines the wind chill is -18.49°F for Minneapolis and -14.89°F for Chicago. An investment of $10,000 that grew to $24,780 over 5 years had an average annual return rate of 19.9%.

Comparing wind chills. Use the formula from Exercise 107 to determine who will feel colder: a person in Minneapolis at 10°F with a 15-
mph wind or a person in Chicago at 20°F with a 25-mph wind.

Minneapolis:

W=91.4-(10.5+6.7sqrt(15)-0.45*15)(457-5*10)/(110)
W=91.4-(10.5+6.7*3.873)-6.75)(407)/(110)
W=91.4-(10.5+25.95-6.75)(407)/(110)
W=91.4-(29.7)(407)/(110)
W=91.4-(12087.9)/(110)
W=91.4-109.89
W=-18.49 Degrees

Chicago:

W=91.4-(10.5+6.7sqrt(25)-0.45*25)(457-5*20)/(110)
W=91.4-(10.5+6.7*7.5)-11.25)(357)/(110)
W=91.4-(10.5+33.5-11.25)(357)/(110)
W=91.4-(32.75)(357)/(110)
W=91.4-(11691.75)/(110)
W=91.4-106.29
W=-14.89 Degrees

Radius of a sphere. The radius of a sphere is given by the formula. Where v=volume. Find the radius of a spherical tank that has a volume of

cubic meters.

r=(0.75*((32*3.14)/(3))/(3.14)^(1/3)
r=(.75(32(3.14)*1/3(3.14))^(1/3)/(3.14) (Eliminate 3.14 in Numerator & Denominator)
r=.75(32/3)^1/3
r=.75(8)^1/3)
r=6^(1/3)

Top bond fund. An investment of $10,000 in the Emerging Country Debt Fund in 2001 was worth $24,780 in 2006 (www.money.com). Use
the formula from the previous exercise to find the 5-year average annual return.

r=investment on annual return


S=value after n years
P=initial investment
n=number of years

r=(24780/10000)^(1/5)-1
r=(2.478)^(1^5)-1
r=fifthrt2.478-1
r=1.1987-1
r=.1987

Time to swing. The period T (time in seconds for one complete cycle) of a simple pendulum is related to the length L (in feet) of the
pendulum by the formula . If a child is on a swing with a 10-foot chain, then how long does it take to complete one cycle of the
swing?

8T^2=3.14^2(10)
8T^2=9.8596(10)
8T^=98.596
T^2=98.596/8
T^2=12.3245
T=sqrt12.3245
T=3.51 Seconds

Diagonal brace. The width of a rectangular gate is 2 meters (m) larger than its height. The diagonal brace measures sqrt6 m. Find the width
and height.

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = sqrt6^2


x^2 + (x+2)(x+2) = 6
x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 = 6
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 6

Foul ball. Suppose Charlie O’Brian of the Braves hits a baseball straight upward at 150 ft/sec from a height of 5 ft.
a) Use the formula to determine how long it takes the ball to return to the earth.
b) Use the accompanying graph to estimate the maximum height reached by the ball.
a)

h(t) = -16t^2+150t+5
h(t) = 0 on impact
-16t^2+150t+5=0
a=-16
b=150
c=5
x=-150+/-sqrt((150^2)-4*-16*5)/(2*-16)
x=-150+/-sqrt(22820)/-32
x=-150+/151.0629/(-32)
x=1.0629/(-32)
x=-0.0332156 (time cannot be negative)
or
x=-150-151.0629/(-32)
x=-301.0629/(-32)
x=9.4082156 Seconds

b) Per Graph

Max height is 350’

Sharing cost. The members of a flying club plan to share equally the cost of a $200,000 airplane. The members want to find five more people
to join the club so that the cost per person will decrease by $2000. How many members are currently in the club?

P = number currently in plan


Current = 200000/p
New Cost = 200000/(p+5)

200000/(p)-2000 = 200000/(p+5)
200000/(p) = 2000+200000/(p+5)
200000/(p) = 2000(p+105)/(p+5)
200000*p+5 = 2000(p+105)(p)
200000p+1000000=2000p(p+105)
200000p+1000000=2000p^2+210000p
2000p^2+210000p-200000p=1000000
2000p^2+10000p=1000000
2000p^2+10000p-1000000=0
2000(p^2+5p-500)=0
2000(p+25)(p-20)=0
p+25=0
p-20=0
p=20,-25

P = 20 Passengers

Gone fishing. Debbie traveled by boat 5 miles upstream to fish in her favorite spot. Because of the 4-mph current, it took her 20 minutes
longer to get there than to return. How fast will her boat go in still water?

s=speed
s+4=speed with current
s-4=speed against current
time = distance/speed

5/(s-4)=5/(s+4)+20/60
5/(s-4)=5/(s+4)+1/3
LCD 3(s+4)(s-4)
3(s+4)(s-4)*5/(s-4)=3(s+4)(s-4)*5/(s+4)+ 3(s+4)(s-4)*1/3
15(s+4)=15(s-4)+(s+4)(s-4)
15s+60=15s-60+s^2-16
15s-15s-60-60+s^2-16=0

Open-top box. Thomas is going to make an open-top box by cutting equal squares from the four corners of an 11 inch by 14 inch sheet of
cardboard and folding up the sides. If the area of the base is to be 80 square inches, then what size square should be cut from each corner?

(11-2x)(14-2x)=80
154-22x-28x-4x^2=80
154-50x-4x^2=80
