A’s increase is 1.8/1.5=6/5; B’s increase is 1/0.6=5/3.
A formula for A is A(t)=1.5(6/5)^t and for B, B(t)=0.6(5/3)^t where t is years since 2004.
When A=B, 1.5(6/5)^t=0.6(5/3)^t.
Taking logs: log1.5+tlog(6/5)=log0.6+tlog(5/3), t(log(5/3)-log(6/5))=log1.5-log0.6.
tlog(25/18)=log2.5, t=log2.5/log(25/18)=2.7893 approx.
This occurs during 2006 around mid-October.
Common sales=1.5(6/5)^2.7893=0.6(5/3)^2.7893=$2.4943 billion.

The area of a parallelogram is modeled by the formula, A = lw. Solve the equation for w.

Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you with answering this question today, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's look at our problem.
"A = L * W, solve for W."

This is basic algebra, but I will teach you how to tackle this problem, so you can do it on your own.

So, we have the following equation:
A = L * W
To solve for W, we need to get it alone on one side of the equation. Currently, it is not alone, but rather is being multiplied by L.
To isolate W, we need to perform the opposite order of operations on both sides of the equation.

A = L * W
Divide both sides by L to isolate and solve for W.

W = \frac{A}{L} is our solution.

The following equation matches the answer choice "C".

Your answer is "C."

I hope this helps!

The ticket price which will maximize the student's council is: C. $3.10.

<h3>What is price?</h3>

Price can be defined as an amount of money which is primarily set by the seller of a product, and it must be paid by a buyer to the seller, so as to enable the acquisition of this product.

Based on the information provided about Valley High School student council, we can logically deduce the following data:

  • Total number of students = 420 students.
  • Lowest ticket price = $2.00.
  • Increase in ticket price = $0.20.
  • Attendance = 20 fewer students

<h3>How to determine the ticket price?</h3>

Mathematically, the equation which model the profit is given by:

Profit = price × number of tickets sold

P(x) = (2 + 0.2x)(420 - 20x)

P(x) = 840 + 84x - 40x - 4x²

P(x) = -4x² + 44x + 840.

For any quadratic equation with a parabolic curve, the axis of symmetry is given by:

Xmax = -b/2a

Xmax = -44/2(-4)

Xmax = -44/-8.

Xmax = 5.5

Ticket price for maximum profit is given by:

Ticket price = 2 + 0.2x

Ticket price = 2 + 0.2(5.5)

Ticket price = $3.10.

Answer:

<u>Third Option</u>: y = \frac{5}{4}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points on the graph, (4, 5) and (-4, -5):

In order to determine the equation of the given graph in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

Use the given points to solve for the slope:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -5)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, 5)

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = \frac{5 - (5)}{4 - (-4)}  = \frac{5 + 5}{4 + 4}  = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}

Therefore, the slope of the line is: m = \frac{5}{4}.

Next, use one of the given points on the graph, (4, 5) to solve for the y-intercept, b:

y = mx + b

5 = \frac{5}{4} (4) + b

5 = 5 + b

5 - 5 = 5 - 5 + b

0 = b

Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is: y = \frac{5}{4}x.  The correct answer is Option 3.
