Students are studying the effects of beach pollution by counting populations of seagulls at two different beach locations. One location is a beach near a large industrial marina where boats are serviced; the second location is an isolated beach surrounded by a state park. The students plan to count all the visible seagulls at the beaches at specific times of day. They will repeat the bird count for 10 days and then analyze the data. What is the outcome variable (dependent variable) in this study?

The volume v and paper surface area a of a conical paper cup are given by where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone. a. by eliminating h, obtain the expression for a as a function of r and v. b. create a user-de ned function that accepts r as the only argument and computes a for a given value of v. declare v to be global within the function. c. for v ! 10 in.3 , use the function with the fminbnd function to compute the value of r that minimizes the area a. what is the corresponding value of the height h? investigate the sensitivity of the solution by plotting v versus r. how much can r vary about its optimal value before the area increases 10 percent above its minimum value?
