In 1990 retail sales at bookstores were about $7.4 billion. In 1997 retail sales at bookstores were about $11.8 billion. Write a

linear model for retail sales s (in billions of dollars) at bookstores from 1990 through 1997. Let T represent the number of year since 1990. Then estimate the retail sales at bookstores in 2012.

hopefully this helps you and gives you insight in how to solve the problems from now on (:

= $11.8 + (2012-1997)([$11.8-$7.4][1997-1990])

= $11.8 + 5 ($4.4/7)

= $11.8 4/5 + $22/7

= $59/5 + $22/7

= $413/35 + $110/35

= $523/35 or $14 33/35

answer : SALES IN 2012 WOULD BE $14 33/35 BILLION OR $14.9 3/7

An account grows at an annual interest rate of r⁡​ ⁣, so it grows by a factor of x=1+r⁡​ ⁣⁣ ​⁡ each year. The function A(x)=800x
Paladinen [302]

Given:

Annual interest rate = r⁡​%

Growth factor : x = 1 + r⁡​

The below function gives the amount in the account after 4 years when the growth factor is x⁡​ ⁣⁣.

A(x)=800x^4+350x^3+500x^2+600x

To find:

The total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year and initial amount.

Solution:

Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03

Growth factor : x = 1 + ⁡0.03 = 1.03

We have,

A(x)=800x^4+350x^3+500x^2+600x

Substitute x=1.03 in the given function, to find the total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.

A(1.03)=800(1.03)^4+350(1.03)^3+500(1.03)^2+600(1.03)

A(1.03)=800(1.12550881)+350(1.092727)+500(1.0609
)+618

A(1.03)=900.407048+382.45445+530.45+618

A(1.03)=2431.311498


A(1.03)\approx 2431.31


Therefore, the total amount in the account is 2431.31 if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.

For initial amount the rate of interest is 0.

Growth factor : x = 1 + ⁡0 = 1

Substitute x=0 in the given function to find the initial amount.

A(1)=800(1)^4+350(1)^3+500(1)^2+600(1)

A(1)=800+350+500+600

A(1)=2250

Therefore, 2250 was put into the account at the beginning.

In the whole number 70,819 the place value of the digit 1 is
bulgar [2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

a number is a sequence of digits with every position being multiplied by increasing powers of 10.

and the whole number is then the sum of of these little multiplications.

the first position left of the decimal point is for 10⁰ (1). the second position is 10¹ (10). the third position for 10² (100). and so on.

the given number is therefore just the short version of

7×10⁴ + 0×10³ + 8×10² + 1×10¹ + 9×10⁰

and therefore, the digit 1 in this number has the value 1×10¹ = 10, which is also the place value, 10¹ = 10.

In which of the following cases would you add 7?
amid [387]
Umm. i am not sure if this will help but, i would pick the first one. mainly because, i like to think of it as money, like for example. If i had two separate banks, and in both of them i had seven dollars. If i give seven dollars to a charity and there is nothing left in my bank, i would add my other money from my second bank into my first one. that way i will have money in the bank i would normally go to.
