The polynomial 0.041h – 0.018A – 2.69 can be used to estimate the lung capacity, in liters, of a female with
height h cm and age A years. Find the lung capacity of a 65–year–old woman who is 163 cm tall. Round to the
nearest liter.
An object’s altitude, in meters, is given by the polynomial h + vt – 4.9t2, where h is the height in meters from
which the launch occurs, v is the initial upward speed in meters per second, and t is the number of seconds for
which the rocket is airborne. A pebble is shot upward from the top of a building 107 meters tall. If the initial
speed is 39 meters per second, how high above the ground will the pebble be after 2 seconds? Round results to
the nearest tenth of a meter.
A pipette has the shape of a right circular cylinder with a right circular cone at its end. The pipette is used to
inject a nutritive suspension into a colony of microbes. The volume, in cubic centimeters, of a pipette of height h
and radius r, both in centimeters, is given by the polynomial 1
3r2h +r2h. How much nutritive suspension
can be provided if the pipette has a radius of 0.4 cm and a height of 4.7 cm? Use 3.14 for and round to the
nearest tenth cubic centimeter.
