Kwan's parents bought a home for $50,000 in 1997 just as real estate values in the area started to rise quickly. Each year, thei

r house was worth more until they sold the home for $309,587. Model the growth of the home's value from 1997 to 2007 with both linear and an exponential equation. Graph the two models below.

A. First let us start with the linear model.

The equation is in the form of y = m x + b

Calculating for the slope m:

m = (309,587 – 50,000) / (2007 – 1997)

m = 25,958.7

 

Subsituting:

y = 25,958.7 x + b

Taking x = 1997, y = 50,000. Solve for b:

50,000 = 25,958.7 (1997) + b

b = -51,789,523.9

 

The complete equation is therefore:

y = 25,958.7 x - 51,789,523.9

 

 

B. The exponential model has the following form:

y = a b^x

where a and b are constants

 

Taking x1= 1997, y1 = 50,000; x2 = 2007, y2 = 309,587

50,000 = a b^1997

309,587 = a b^2007

 

Combining in terms of a:

50,000 / b^1997 = 309,587 / b^2007

b^2007 / b^1997 = 309,587 / 50,000

b^10 = 6.19174

b = 1.2

 

Substituting:

y = a 1.2^x

 

Solving for a:

50,000 = a 1.2^1997

a = 3.75 x 10^-154

 

The complete equation is:

y = 3.75 x 10^-154 * 1.2^x

Answer:

7.8 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp / adj

tan 48 = x/7

7 tan 48 = x

7.774287604 = x

To the nearest tenth

7.8 =x
