At the beginning of the semester students reported that they spend an average of 5 hours per day watching television, decreasing

at an average rate of 30 minutes per week. Professors reported that they spend an average of 1 hour per day watching television, increasing at an average rate of 30 minutes per week. (Source: Blitzer: Thinking Mathematically, 2019) a. Write a function, S, for the amount of time students watch television during week, x. b. Write a function, P, for the amount of time professors watch television during week, x. C. By which week do students and professors both watch the same number of hours of television? How many hours?

Answer:

(a) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

(b) X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

(c) At 4 weeks, when both will be seeing an average of 3 hours of TV.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the students, they start at X(0)=5 h and ΔX=-0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=5-0.5*t

b) For the professors, they start at X(0)=1 h and ΔX=+0.5 h/week.

We can write

X(t)=X(0)+\Delta X*t=1+0.5*t

c) The seew which they will be watching the same amount of hours will be the 4th week.

X(t)=5-0.5*t=1+0.5*t\\\\5-1=(0.5+0.5)*t\\\\t=4\, weeks

The amount of hours will be

x(4)=1+0.5*4=1+2=3\,hours

Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
expeople1 [14]
For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)). We have a system of equation 4m+ b=3 7m+b=12 For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so 4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9 <span>
