1. The rate of consumption of french fries in the United States can be modeled by the function
C HtL = 1.5 + 1.2t , measured in millions of pounds per year, beginning at the start of the year
1990. Find how many pounds of french fries were consumed from the start of 1995 to the end
of 1998.

3. A certain spring of length 20 cm requires a force of 5 Newtons to stretch it to a length of

24 cm. Find the work done in stretching the spring from a length of 22 cm to a length of 28 cm,
and the work done in stretching it from a length of 24 cm to a length of 30 cm.
