$A=0.2{t}^{2}+0.1t+5.1$

(a) What is the level, in parts per million, now?

(b) How many years from now will the level of carbon monoxide be at 8 parts per million? Round to the nearest tenth.

## Sample set f

A contractor is to pour a concrete walkway around a swimming pool that is 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. The area of the walkway is to be 544 square feet. If the walkway is to be of uniform width, how wide should the contractor make it?

Step 1:  Let $x$ = the width of the walkway.
Step 2:  A diagram will help us to get the equation.

(Area of pool and walkway) — (area of pool) = (area of walkway)
$\left(20+2x\right)\left(40+2x\right)-20·40=544$
$\begin{array}{lllllll}\text{Step\hspace{0.17em}3:}\hfill & \hfill & \hfill \left(20+2x\right)\left(40+2x\right)-20·40& =\hfill & 544\hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill 800+120x+4{x}^{2}-800& =\hfill & 544\hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill 120x+4{x}^{2}& =\hfill & 544\hfill & \hfill & \hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill 4{x}^{2}+120x-544& =\hfill & 0\hfill & \hfill & \text{Divide\hspace{0.17em}each\hspace{0.17em}term\hspace{0.17em}by\hspace{0.17em}4}.\hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill {x}^{2}+30x-136& =\hfill & 0\hfill & \hfill & \text{Solve\hspace{0.17em}by\hspace{0.17em}factoring}.\hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill \left(x-4\right)\left(x+34\right)& =\hfill & 0\hfill & \hfill & \begin{array}{l}\text{(This\hspace{0.17em}is\hspace{0.17em}difficult\hspace{0.17em}to\hspace{0.17em}factor\hspace{0.17em}so\hspace{0.17em}we\hspace{0.17em}may\hspace{0.17em}}\\ \text{wish\hspace{0.17em}to\hspace{0.17em}use\hspace{0.17em}the\hspace{0.17em}quadratic\hspace{0.17em}formula}\text{.)\hspace{0.17em}}\end{array}\hfill \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{lllll}x-4=0\hfill & \hfill & \text{or}\hfill & \hfill & x+34=0\hfill \\ x=4\hfill & \hfill & \text{or}\hfill & \hfill & x=-34\text{\hspace{0.17em}has\hspace{0.17em}no\hspace{0.17em}physical\hspace{0.17em}meaning}\text{.}\hfill \end{array}$
Check a width of 4 feet as a solution.
$\begin{array}{lllll}\text{Step\hspace{0.17em}4:}\hfill & \hfill & \text{Area\hspace{0.17em}of\hspace{0.17em}pool\hspace{0.17em}and\hspace{0.17em}walkway\hspace{0.17em}}\hfill & =\hfill & \left(20+2·4\right)\left(40+2·4\right)\hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & =\hfill & \left(28\right)\left(48\right)\hfill \\ \hfill & \hfill & \hfill & =\hfill & 1344\hfill \end{array}$
Area of pool = (20)(40) = 800
Area of walkway = $\begin{array}{ccc}1344-800=544& & \text{Yes,\hspace{0.17em}this\hspace{0.17em}is\hspace{0.17em}correct}\text{.}\end{array}$
This solution checks.
Step 5:  The contractor should make the walkway 4 feet wide.

## Practice set f

A contractor is to pour a concrete walkway around a swimming pooi that is 15 feet wide and 25 feet long. The area of the walkway is to be 276 square feet. If the walkway is to be of uniform width, how wide should the contractor make it?

3 ft wide

## Exercises

Some of the following problems have actual applications and some are intended only as logic developers. A calculator may be helpful. The problems appear in groups and correspond to the noted Sample Set problem.

## Sample set a—type problems

The manufacturer of electronic fuel injectors determines that the number $N$ of injectors sold is related to the price $x$ per injector by $N=22x-{x}^{2}.$ At what price should the manufacturer price the injectors so that 112 of them are sold?

$8\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{or}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}14$

The owner of a stained-glass shop determines that the number $N$ of pieces of a particular type of glass sold in a month is related to the price $x$ per piece by $N=21x-{x}^{2}.$ At what price should the shop buyer price the glass so that 162 sell?

It is estimated that $t$ years from now the population of a certain city will be

$P={t}^{2}-15t+12,036$

(b) How many years from now will the population be 12,000?

$\text{(a)\hspace{0.17em}}12,036\text{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}(b)\hspace{0.17em}}3\text{\hspace{0.17em}and\hspace{0.17em}}12\text{\hspace{0.17em}years\hspace{0.17em}from\hspace{0.17em}now}$

It is estimated that $t$ years from now the population of a certain city will be

(b) How many years from now will the population be 24,000?

If an object is thrown vertically upward, its height $h$ , above the ground, in feet, after $t$ seconds is given by $h={h}_{0}+{v}_{0}t-16{t}^{2}$ , where ${h}_{0}$ is the initial height from which the object is thrown and ${v}_{0}$ is the initial velocity of the object. Using this formula and an approach like that of Sample Set A, solve this problem.

A ball thrown vertically into the air has the equation of motion $h=48+32t-16{t}^{2}.$

(a) How high is the ball at $t=0$ (the initial height of the ball)?

(b) How high is the ball at $t=1$ (after 1 second in the air)?

(c) When does the ball hit the ground? ( Hint: Determine the appropriate value for $h$ then solve for $t$ .)

$\text{(a)\hspace{0.17em}}48\text{\hspace{0.17em}feet\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}(b)\hspace{0.17em}64\hspace{0.17em}feet\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}(c)\hspace{0.17em}}t=3$

how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well
Maciej
Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general
Ebrahim
in general
s.
Graphene has a hexagonal structure

Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?
Stotaw
In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
