MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Many physical quantities are connected by inverse square laws, that is, by power functions of
the form

In particular, the illumination of an object by a light source is inversely proportional to the


square of the distance from the source. Suppose that after dark you are in a room with just one
lamp and you are trying to read a book. The light is too dim and so you move

the distance to the lamp. How much brighter is the light?

a. times

ANS: C PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: 1.2.25

2. Scientists have discovered that a linear relationship exists between the amount of flobberworm
mucus secretions and the air temperature. When the temperature is 65°F, the flobberworms
each secrete 16 grams of mucus a day; when the temperature is 95°F, they each secrete 22
grams of mucus a day. Find a function M(t) that gives the amount of mucus secreted on a given
day, where t is the temperature of that day in degrees Fahrenheit.

4. The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Julia found that in
October it cost her to drive mi and in July it cost her to drive mi. Express the monthly cost C as
a function of the distance driven d assuming that a linear relationship gives a suitable model.

NUMERIC RESPONSE

1. It makes sense that the larger the area of a region, the larger the number of species that inhabit
the region. Many ecologists have modeled the species-area relation with a power function and,
in particular, the number of species S of bats living in caves in central Mexico has been related
to the surface area A measured in of the caves by the equation

(a) The cave called mission impossible near puebla, mexico, has suface area of .

How many species of bats would expect to find in that cave?

(b) If you discover that species of bats live in cave estimate the area of the cave.
ANS:

1. a) species
2. b)

function.
