Ultrasound is often used to make images of developing fetuses. In particular, by measuring the size of a fetus ultrasound
and then predict its birthdate. To do this requires formulas for fetus size as a function of
age. Verburg et al. (2008) fit data from over 6000 fetal ultrasounds. They measured the femur length, L, (in mm) as a
function of the fetus age,, (in weeks) and found the following formula:
Calculated when t = 20.
L = -37.50 +3.71t - 0.000633t³
Does the rate of growth of the fetus increase or decrease as it ages?
A. Increases and decreases

The infectivity of a certain pathogen is quantified by measuring the area between two curves. The greater the area between the curves, the greater the infectivity of the disease and this quantification provides a means to compare infectivity among various different pathogens. As an example, consider the function f(t) = -0.5t(t + 1)(t - 21) which represents number of infected cells carrying a particular pathogen in the blood of a patient as a function of time t, where t is measured in days. Suppose a patient is considered contagious during the period from time t = 3 days to t = 18 days. Compute the infectivity of this particular disease during the contagious period by finding the area between the function f(t) and the line segment connecting the points (3,f(3)) and (18,f(18)).

A marine surveyor uses a rangefinder and a compass to locate a ship and an island in the vicinity of the coast on which she stands. The rangefinder indicates that the island is 386 m from her position and the ship is 589 m from her position. Using the compass, she finds that the ship ship's azimuth (the direction measured as an angle from north) is 319° and that of the island is 38°. What is the distance between the ship and the island?
