5. A rectangular package to be sent by the U.S. Postal Service can have a maximum combined
length and girth (perimeter of the cross section) of 110 inches.
(a) Write the volume of the package as a function of x.
(b) What is the domain of the function?
(c) Use the graphing utility to graph the function. Be sure to use the appropriate viewing window.
(d) What dimensions maximize the volume of the package? Explain your answer.
8. Refer to the graphs of the functions f, g, and h to compute the required quantities. Assume that
all the axes are marked off in one-unit intervals.
10. The function y = 0.03x 2 + 245.50 , 0 < x < 100 approximate the exhaust temperature y of a
diesel engine in degrees Fahrenheit, where x is the percent load on the engine.
(a) Determine the inverse of the function. What does each variable in the inverse function
represent?
(b) Determine the percent load interval if the exhaust temperature of the engine must not exceed
500 0 F .
