The average fleet-wide performance of light duty trucks has made constant improvement since 1980. For example, the time for the

average 1080 light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was about 14.5 seconds. For 2005 models, that time was only 10.5 seconds.
A) Let m be the model year of a light-duty truck and T be the time in seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Write a linear function T(m) to model the situation.


B) Use your answer to part (A) to predict the time it will take the average light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2015, if the trend continues.

A) T(m) = -0.16m +331.3

B) T(2015) = 8.9 . . . seconds

_____
The linear regression function of a graphing calculator can find the equation of the line easily. Or, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line.
.. T(m) = (10.5 -14.5)/(2005 -1980)*(m -1980) +14.5
.. T(m) = -0.16(m -1980) +14.5

A is inversely proportional to b. If a=7.2 when b=-4, what will a equal when b=6?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<h2>a = - 4.8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of a when b=6 we must first find the relationship between them.

The statement

a is inversely proportional to b is written as

a \:  \:  \alpha  \:  \:  \frac{k}{b}

where k is the constant of proportionality

When a = 7.2 , b = -4

So we have

7.2=  \frac{k}{ - 4}

k = 7.2 × - 4

k = - 28.8

So the formula for the variation is

a =  -  \frac{28.8}{b}

When

b = 6

That's

a =  -  \frac{28.8}{6}

We have the final answer as

<h3>a = - 4.8</h3>

Hope this helps you

OLga [1]

Answer:

522.60, hope that helps! (UwU)=/

Step-by-step explanation:

pencils:  $4.10 * 6             ===> $24.60

                 pens:  $6.50 * 12           ===> $78

notebook paper:  $105 * 4              ===> $420

pencils + pens + notebook paper = total cost

24.60 + 78 + 420 = 522.60
