Short Answer: Type your answer below each question. Show your work.

1

Verify the identity.

cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ

 

2

A gas company has the following rate schedule for natural gas usage in single-family residences:

Monthly service charge $8.80

Per therm service charge

1st 25 therms $0.6686/therm

Over 25 therms $0.85870/therm

What is the charge for using 25 therms in one month?

What is the charge for using 45 therms in one month?

Construct a function that gives the monthly charge C for x therms of gas.

The wind chill factor represents the equivalent air temperature at a standard wind speed that would produce the same heat loss as the given temperature and wind speed. One formula for computing the equivalent temperature is

W(t) =

where v represents the wind speed (in meters per second) and t represents the air temperature . Compute the wind chill for an air temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 12 meters per second. (Round the answer to one decimal place.)
