  1. Composite Functions: Application Example 1: The monthly demand, D, for a product, is where p is the price per unit of the product. The price per unit, p, for the product is p = 2000 – 10t, where t is the number of months past January 2010. Write the monthly demand, D, as a function of t.

  2. D p Note, D is a function of p, D(p) and p is a function of t. p(t) t Composite Functions: Application Compute (D p)(t) = D(p(t)).

  3. (D p)(t) = Composite Functions: Application This is now a function of demand with respect to t, so can be relabeled,

  4. Composite Functions: Application When will the monthly demand reach 6,250 units?

  5. Composite Functions: Application 6250(2000 – 10t) = 5000000 12500000 – 62500t = 5000000 - 62500t = - 7500000 t = 120 months The monthly demand will reach 6,250 units in January 2005.

  6. d x 300 feet Composite Functions: Application Example 2: An observer on the ground is 300 feet away from the launching point of a balloon. The balloon is rising is rising at a rate of 10 feet per second. Let d = the distance (in feet) between the balloon and the observer. Let t = the time elapsed (in seconds) since the balloon was launched. Let x = the balloon's altitude (in feet).

  7. d x 300 feet Composite Functions: Application Express d as a function of x. Hint: Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

  8. d x 300 feet Composite Functions: Application (b) Express x as a function of t. x= the balloon's altitude (in feet). The balloon is rising is rising at a rate of 10 feet per second. x(t) = 10t

  9. d x 300 feet Composite Functions: Application (c) Express d as a function of t. x(t) = 10t

  10. d x 300 feet Composite Functions: Application (d) Use the result found in (c) to determine how long it takes from launching for the balloon to be 500 feet from the observer. It takes 40 seconds.
