The velocity of the water flowing

through a hose with a nozzle can be
modeled using V(P)=12.1
A). Graph the velocity thorugh a
nozzle as a function of pressure
B). Describe the domain, range, end
behavior, and continuity of the
function and determine where it is
increasing or decreasing.
Domain:[0,∞)
Range: [0, ∞)
E.B.- ( ) ∞ =∞
( ) ∞ = undefined
Continuity: [0, ∞]
Increasing: [0, ∞) As water flows through the
Intercepts: x=0 y=0 hose we need to know the
velocity for water hoses in
manufacturing so we do not
destroy the product we
would be cleaning.

The net energy NEm required to maintain the
body weight of beef cattle, in megacalories
(Mcal) per day, is estimated by the formula:
= 0.077
Where m is the animal’s mass in kilograms.
One megacalorie is equal to one million
calories.
a. Find the net energy per day required to
maintain a 400-kg steer. A 400-kg steer
would require 6.89 Mcal per day

b. If 0.96 Mcal of energy is provided per

pound of whole grain corn, how much
corn does a 400-kg steer need to
consume daily to maintain its body
weight? 7.18 pounds of whole grain
corn would be needed to supply the
steer with his necessary caloric intake.

Connection:
This function could be useful in
determining optimal caloric intake
for patients who are trying to manage
their diets.
