In Exercises 11 – 20, the slope of the

tangent line was computed using the

procedures on the Chapter 2 Tech Card.

11. 6 55.4W thousand dollars per

year. In 2009, the median sales price

of a new home was decreasing at a

rate of $55,400 dollars per year.

Since 6 251.8W , the point

12. In the function ( )H t , a decimal

point was mistakenly dropped. The

correct function is 2( ) 0.0023 34.47 2265H t t t .

The solution is based on this

corrected function.

(8) 34.43H square feet per year.

In 2008, the average number of

square feet of a new home was

increasing at a rate of 34.43 square

feet per year. Since (8) 2541H , the

point 8, 2541 lies on the tangent

In 2008, the student-to-teacher ratio

15. Since this is a linear function the

slope of the tangent line

(instantaneous rate of change) will

be the same as the slope of the line.

That is,

0.340P x

Since the derivative does not depend

on the value of x, it will be the same

for all values of x. So the rate of

change in private college enrollment

when 12,752 thousand public

students are enrolled is 0.340

thousand private college enrollments

per thousand public college

enrollments. (In other words, 340

private enrollments per 1000 public

enrollments.)

Since the original function is linear,

it is its own tangent line. So to

estimate the number of private

college enrollments when the public

college enrollment is 12,753

thousand, we simply evaluate the

original function at 12,753.

0.340 12,753 457

We estimate that when 12,753 public

college students are enrolled, 3879

private college students are enrolled.

2. The boys weight gain between their

tenth and eleventh year is about 7.29

pounds per year, so the girls can be

expected to gain about 0.95 more

pounds.

3. In 2005, carbon monoxide pollution in

the United States was 2.27 parts per

million and was decreasing at a rate of

0.248 parts per million per year.

4. The population of Kazakhstan was

predicted to be 13,819 thousand people

in 2015 and expected to be decreasing

at a rate of 97.08 thousand people per

5. The population of India was predicted

to be 1,188,644 thousand people in

6. In 2005, the 44.69% of highway

accidents in the United States resulted

in injuries. In 2005, the percentage of

accidents with injuries was decreasing

by 0.295 percentage points per year.

7. When there are 14,000 thousand

public college students, there are 4303

thousand private college students and

the number private college students is

increasing by 0.340 thousand private

college students per thousand public

college students. In other words, a

1000 student increase in the number of

public college students corresponds

with a 340 student increase in private

college students.

8. When 20% of people smoke, the heart

disease death rate is 228 deaths per

100,000 people and is increasing by

14.08 deaths per 100,000 people per

percentage point. In other words, a 1

percentage point increase in the

percentage of people who smoke

corresponds with a 14.08 deaths per

100,000 people increase in the heart

disease death rate.

9. When 500 billion dollars are spent on

farm foods at home, 356.9 billion

dollars are spent on farm foods away

from home. When 500 billion dollars

are spend on farm foods at home, the

amount of money spent on farm foods

away from home is increasing at a

rate of 0.7905 billion dollars per

billion dollars spent on farm foods at

home. In other words, a 1 billion

dollar increase in spending on farm

foods at home corresponds with a

0.7905 billion dollar increase in

spending on farm foods away from

home.

10. When 30 million cassette tapes are

shipped the value of the shipped

cassettes is 226 million dollars and is

increasing at a rate of 9.5 million

dollars per million cassettes. In other

words, when 30 million cassettes are

shipped, a 1 million cassette increase

in cassettes shipped corresponds with

a 9.5 million dollar increase in the

value of the shipped cassettes.
