25. (a) = 3 so doubling the windspeed gives = (2) 3 = 8( 3 ). Thus, the power output is increased by a factor
of eight.
(b) The area swept out by the blades is given by = 2 , where is the blade length, so the power output is
= 3 = 2 3 . Doubling the blade length gives = (2) 2 3 = 4( 2 3 ). Thus, the power output is increased
by a factor of four.
(c) From part (b) we have = 2 3 , and = 0214 kgm 3 , = 30 m gives

Similarly, = 15 ms gives = 650,025 ≈ 2,042,000 W and = 25 ms gives = 3,009,375 ≈ 9,454,000 W.
26. (a) We graph () = (567 × 10 −8 ) 4 for 100 ≤ ≤ 300:
(b) From the graph, we see that as temperature increases, energy increases—slowly at first, but then at an increasing rate.
27. (a) The data appear to be periodic and a sine or cosine function would make the best model. A model of the form
() = cos() + seems appropriate.
(b) The data appear to be decreasing in a linear fashion. A model of the form () = + seems appropriate.
28. (a) The data appear to be increasing exponentially. A model of the form () = · or () = · + seems
appropriate.
(b) The data appear to be decreasing similarly to the values of the reciprocal function. A model of the form () =
seems appropriate.

Exercises 29 – 33: Some values are given to many decimal places. The results may depend on the technology used — rounding is left to the reader.
29. (a)
A linear model does seem appropriate.
(b) Using the points (4000141) and (60,00082), we obtain
− 141 =
82 − 141
60,000 − 4000
( − 4000) or, equivalently,
≈ −0000105357 + 14521429.
(c) Using a computing device, we obtain the regression line = −00000997855 + 13950764.
The following commands and screens illustrate how to find the regression line on a TI84 Plus calculator.
Enter the data into list one (L1) and list two (L2). Press to enter the editor.
Find the regession line and store it in Y 1 . Press .
Note from the last figure that the regression line has been stored in Y 1 and that Plot1 has been turned on (Plot1 is
highlighted). You can turn on Plot1 from the Y= menu by placing the cursor on Plot1 and pressing or by
pressing .
Now press to produce a graph of the data and the regression
line. Note that choice 9 of the ZOOM menu automatically selects a window
that displays all of the data.
(d) When = 25,000, ≈ 11456; or about 115 per 100 population.

(e) When = 80,000, ≈ 5968; or about a 6% chance.
(f) When = 200,000, is negative, so the model does not apply.
30. (a) Using a computing device, we obtain the regression line = 001879 + 030480.
(b) The regression line appears to be a suitable model for the data.
(c) The intercept represents the percentage of laboratory rats that
develop lung tumors when not exposed to asbestos fibers.
31. (a) (b) Using a computing device, we obtain the regression line
= 188074 + 8264974.
(c) When = 53 cm, ≈ 1823 cm.
32. (a) See the scatter plot in part (b). A linear model seems appropriate.
(b) Using a computing device, we obtain the regression line
= 031567 + 815578.
(c) For 2005, = 5 and ≈ 973 centskWh. For 2017, = 17 and
≈ 1352 centskWh.
33. (a) See the scatter plot in part (b). A linear model seems appropriate.
(b) Using a computing device, we obtain the regression line

(c) For 2002, = 17 and ≈ 79,242 thousands of barrels per day.
For 2017, = 32 and ≈ 96,115 thousands of barrels per day.
