Answer:

y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1

y\to Lake\ level

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

m=\frac{-74}{21}

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.

Just Peachy Orchard produced 1100 bushels of peaches last year. This year the owner earned $8800 from sales. He's thinking that
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

P(t) ={8*(1.01)^t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bushels produced is given by:

B(t)= 1100(1.1)^t

The owner's income is given by:

S(t) = 8800(1.111)^t

Income is given by the price per unit multiplied by the number of units sold. Therefore, the price function can be represented as:

P(t) =\frac{S(t)}{B(t)} \\P(t) =\frac{8800(1.111)^t}{1100(1.1)^t} \\P(t) =\frac{8*1100(1.1)^t*(1.01)^t}{1100(1.1)^t}\\P(t) ={8*(1.01)^t}
