The maximum flow rate of a standard shower head is about 3.5 gpm (13.3 l/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 l/min) by switching to a low-flow shower head that is equipped with flow controllers. consider a family of four with each person taking a 6-minute shower every morning. city water at 15°c is heated to 55°c in an oil water heater whose efficiency is 65 percent and then tempered to 42°c by cold water at the t-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower head. the price of heating oil is $2.80/gal and its heating value is 146,300 kj/gal. assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kj/kg·°c for water, determine the amount of oil and money saved per year by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones. (round the final answers to one decimal place.)

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
