    Applied Calculus, 7th edition by Geoffrey C. Berresford and Andrew M. Rockett, published by Cengage Learning, uses intriguing real-world applications to capture readers’ interest and show them the practical side of calculus. Its many applications are related to finance, business, and general-interest topics. The WebAssign enhancement to this textbook engages students with immediate feedback, rich tutorial content, and an interactive, fully customizable eBook.

    Questions 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 have Watch Its.

    Questions 4 and 9 have Master It Tutorials.

    Question 3 demonstrates interval grading, which can grade any canonically equivalent interval and enforce proper notation.

    Question 5 grades any correct form of the equation of the tangent line.

    Question 9 grades the integral and enforces correct form and notation while also allowing all mathematically correct answers.

    View the complete list of WebAssign questions available for this textbook. This demo assignment allows many submissions and allows you to try another version of the same question for practice wherever the problem has randomized values.

A company finds that x days after the conclusion of an advertising campaign the daily sales of a new product are
S(x) = 100 + 900e−0.1x.
 Find the daily sales 7 days after the end of the advertising campaign. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
On the coordinate plane the horizontal axis is labeled Days and the vertical axis is labeled Sales. The curve, labeled S(x) = 100 + 900e−0.1x, enters the window at Sales = 1000 on the positive Sales-axis, goes down and right becoming less steep, and exits the window at the approximate point (10, 431),
S(7) = (No Response)

A recent study found that one's earnings are affected by the mathematics courses one has taken. In particular, compared to someone making $30,000 who had taken no calculus, a comparable person who had taken x years of calculus would be earning
$30,000e0.195x.
 Find the rate of change of this function at
x = 1.
 (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
f '(1)
 =

Interpret your answer.
Annual salary by about $ per extra year of calculus.
