Water Tower Problem: Assume that the number of gallons of water remaining in the tower varies quadratically with the number of hours which have elapsed since you started draining the tower. 8. If since the draining began the tower has 49000, 46240, 43560 gallons remaining after 2, 4, and 6 hours respectively, write an equation expressing gallons in terms of time.

9. How much water was in the tower when you started to drain it? (Show setup) ______________ 10. When will the tower be empty? (show setup) _______________ 11. Find the derivative.___________________________ 12. At what rate is the water draining at 2 hours?_________________ at 40 hours_________________ 13. Is the rate of draining increasing, constant, or decreasing?____________ Is this reasonable? Explain. _________________________________________________________________

14. Draw a graph of the function in the appropriate domain. (label axes and identify scales)

15. For this problem, why would a quadratic function be more reasonable than a linear function? __________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ 16.

Boat Problem: A mock up of a newly designed boat has been made. This particular model has a length of 16 feet. It can float 768 pounds. It weighs 256 pounds. Allow 200 pounds for an operator. 17. Float is directly proportional to the square of length since it depends on the area of the bottom. Find the particular equation for float of this type of boat. _______________ 18. Weight of the boat varies directly with the cube of the length since it depends on volume. Find the particular function for weight. _______________ 19. The number of pounds of cargo that the boat can carry is the float minus the boats weight minus the operators weight. Find this cargo function. _________________________ 20. Find the cargo for boats whose lengths are 10, 20, 30, and 40. x 5 10 20 30 y Graph this cargo function on your calculator. 21. Solve the cargo function for zero(s).
