The varsity basketball team started selling T-shirts online in 1994. The number of T-shirts sold online, s, is modeled by the gr

aph below, where t = 0 represents the year 2000.

(PART-A): s-intercept in this case represents the y-intercept of the graph, whereas the t-intercept in this case represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Always remember that y-intercept represents the value of y where the curve (or line) crosses the y-axis, and x-intercept represents the value of x where the curve (or line) crosses the x-axis.

In the graph attached with the question, at point (0,6) the curve crosses the y-axis. Therefore, the <em>y-intercept (s-intercept) in this case is 6</em>. It means that in year 2000 (t=0), 6 hundred shirts were sold.

However, there is no point on the graph where the curve crosses the x-axis, meaning there is <em>no x-intercept (t-intercept)</em>. It means that there is <em>not</em> a single year when the number of shirts sold is 0.


(PART B): As you can see in the graph (attached with the question) that the <em>f(t)</em> is increasing (exponentially) with the increase in <em>t. </em>Therefore, we can safely say that as t increases without bound, the f(t) increases (also). In this context, it means that the sale of shirts increases as the years go by. Hence, the correct blank is "increases."


(PART C): The average rate of change is actually the slope. To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} --- (X)

Given points: (5, 12.5) and (7, 22). Plug the values in equation (X),

slope = \frac{22-12.5}{7-5} = 4.75

Hence, the average rate of change for the function between t=5 and t=7 is 4.75 (answer).


(PART D): This part is bit tricky. Therefore, read the explanation carefully!

You can see in the graph that number of Shirts sold is in <em>hundreds. </em>It means that 1 unit (of y-axis in a graph) represents 100 shirts. Therefore, as in the question it is mentioned that there are 1000 T-shirts sold, it will become 10 units (since 10*100 = 1000). So, the function g(t) will become the following:

g(t) = f(t) + 10 --- (Y)

Why did I add f(t)? Because in the question, the word "<em>and</em>" is underlined. It means that g(t) represents not only 1000 T-shirts (10*100 = 1000) sold at the basketball games each year, but it also has the number of T-shirts sold ONLINE, which is f(t).

Now insert f(t) in (Y) and solve:

g(t) = f(t) + 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 5+ 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 15

Hence, g(t) is (1.5)^t + 15

Answer:

5.25

representing an average increase of 5,250 t-shirts sold each year between the years of 2005 and 2007.

Step-by-step explanation:

Another term for the rate of change is the slope. Despite the graph being exponential, we are only concerned about the 2 given points: (5, 12.5) and (7,22). So, we will be using the slope formula to find the slope of the line of best fit.

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

So

(22 - 12.5) / (7 - 2)

This gives us (10.5 / 2)

Reducing to 5.25; this is the average rate of change.

Petes boat can travel 48 miles upstream in 4 hours. The return trip takes 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and
tankabanditka [31]
So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up

going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r

notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus   \bf \begin{cases}&#10;b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\&#10;r=\textit{rate of the river}&#10;\end{cases}\qquad thus&#10;\\\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\&#10;&----&----&----\\&#10;upstream&48&b-r&4\\&#10;downstream&48&b+4&3&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\&#10;\frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\&#10;--------------\\&#10;48=(b+r)(3)\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;thus\\\\&#10;48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3)&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is

what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"

You have a half pizza leftover in the refrigerator. The first night, the pizza goes to the refrigerator and eats 20% of the pizz
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The pizza pirate ate the whole pizza!

2(days) + 3(a few days) = 5

20 x 5 = 100%

Therefore, the whole pizza is gone. Don't worry, I'll buy a new one!

Can someone help me with this math problem ?? Pls it’s for my final !
Airida [17]

Answer:

221.87 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A 525 ft cable runs from the top of an antenna to the ground.

The angle of elevation made by the ground to the top of an antena 25°

We need to find the height of the antenna.

Using trigonometry,

Hypotenuse, H = 525 ft

θ = 25°

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}\\\\P=H\sin\theta\\\\P=525\times \sin(25)\\\\P=221.87\ ft

So, the height of the antenna is equal to 221.87 feet.
