(a) Write down the range of .
(b) Find an expression for .
Over one day, harbour water depth is modelled linearly between , , and , where time is in hours after midnight and depth is in metres. A vessel needs sufficient depth and clearance below a bridge; it can pass only when .
(a) the piecewise linear graph, labelling every turning point and the gradient of each segment.
An actuator uses a signed input and returns response in response units according to
A production model expresses two cost components, in thousands of dollars, as and , where is production in hundreds of units and . Total cost is .
A parking garage charges for each started hour. Thus and for , where and is measured in hours.
(b) every time at which the depth is m and hence why “time as a function of depth” fails on the complete day.
(c) A vessel is safe only when . the total safe time, giving the answer in hours and minutes.
(a) on a set of axes, showing all open and closed endpoints and both jumps.
(b) the range of and all inputs that produce response .
(c) A domain restriction must be a closed interval containing and one endpoint of the original domain. whether such a restriction can both preserve the complete range and make one-to-one.
(a) and , and their point of intersection.
(b) the graph of and its minimum point using technology.
(c) Hence all production settings for which the total cost is at most 3 thousand dollars. why multiplying the inequality by does not reverse its direction.
(a) the graph of for on a set of axes, showing every open and closed endpoint.
(b) A rival charges continuously according to . Add its graph and all times at which the two charges are equal.
(c) the total length of time for which during the four-hour interval.
