It has been said that newspapers are disappearing, replaced by various electronic media. In 2004, newspaper circulation (the num

ber of copies distributed in a day) in a country was about 59 million. In 2014, this had dropped to 47 million. Assume that the relationship between time, x, and circulation, y, is a linear relationship.
A. Write an equation describing the relationship between time and circulation. Use ordered pairs of the form (years past 2004, number of newspapers circulated in millions).

B. Use this equation to predict newspaper in 2018.

The equation describing the relationship is:

In the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be Million.

Answer:

A. y=-1.2x+59

B. 42.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given:

Newspapers circulated in year 2004, y_{1}=59\textrm{ million}

Newspapers circulated in year 2014, y_{2}=47\textrm{ million}

Let the time x start at the year 2004. So, x_{1}=0

For the year 2014, x_{2}=2014-2004=10

Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:

y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\\y-59=\frac{47-59}{10-0}(x-0)\\y-59=-\frac{12}{10}x\\y=-1.2x+59

Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is: y=-1.2x+59

Part B:

For the year 2018, x=2018-2004=14

Plug in 14 for x in the above equation and solve for y. This gives,

y=-1.2(14)+59\\y=-16.8+59\\y=42.2

Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.

IRISSAK [1]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!

M=-4/3, point (0,-12)
postnew [5]
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -4/3
(0,-12)....x1 = 0 and y1 = -12
sub
y - (-12) = -4/3(x - 0) =
y + 12 = -4/3(x - 0) <=== point slope form

y + 12 = -4/3x 
y = -4/3x - 12 <=== slope intercept form

y = -4/3x - 12
4/3x + y = -12
4x + 3y = -36 <=== standard form

Model Real Life You and a partner
shutvik [7]

No. Using multiplication and division, you and your partner will not each get the same number of flips because one can flip 23 times, while the other does it 22 times.

<h3>What are mathematical operations?</h3>

The basic mathematical operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

These mathematical operations are performed on numbers, variables, equations, and functions to determine numerical results.

In this situation, we first multiply to get the total number of times the 3 bottles can be flipped.

This total is divided by 2 to see if there will not be a remainder.  The result of the division operation is an odd value.

The number of bottles for flipping = 3

The number of times to flip each bottle = 15 times

The total number of times to flip the 3 bottles = 45 times 93 x 15)

The number of those conducting the bottle flipping experiment = 2

The number of times each partner can flip the bottles evenly = 22.5 times (45/2)

Each partner cannot flip the same number of times based on the mathematical operations because 45 is not an even number.
