A school is keeping track of the number of tickets remaining for its year-end festival. The table shows the number of sales for
the first, second, third, and fourth weeks of the month leading up to the festival. Which graph could represent the data shown in the table?
Day Tickets 1 | 800 2 | 371 3 | 182 4 | 78 Please explain. I am not sure how to solve these. Thanks so much!

All you have to do is plot the points. Your dependent variable is the ticket sales, so it has to be in the y-axis. The independent variable, days, would be the x-axis. All in all, you would be able to plot 4 points corresponding to the 4 pairs of data given. Then, just connect them to obtain a graph. I used MS Excel to make the graph shown in the figure :)

We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation .
To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate and solve for t as:
Now we will switch sides:
Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.
Using natural log property , we will get:
Therefore, it will take years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.
