Question 59

In a fluid dynamics simulation, the pressure deviation PPP at distance ddd from a source is modeled by the function

P(d)=d(d−k)(d−16) P(d) = d(d - k)(d - 16) P(d)=d(d−k)(d−16)

where kkk is a constant such that 0<k<160 < k < 160<k<16.

a.

Sketch the graph of y=P(d)y = P(d)y=P(d) on axes, showing the coordinates of the points where the graph meets the ddd-axis.

[3]
b.

A secondary model suggests the pressure behaves according to the transformation y=P(−4d)y = P(-4d)y=P(−4d). Sketch this transformed graph on separate axes, showing the coordinates of the points where the graph meets the ddd-axis in terms of kkk.
