Answer:
The price of pretzels in 1975 = $1.80
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question we are assuming the steady rate means linear.Let x be the year and y be the price.
We need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (4.80-4.05)/(2015-2005)
=.75/10
= .075
The slope is .075
We can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-4.80 = .075(x-2015)
Distribute
y - 4.80 = .075x -151.125
Add 4.80 to each side
y - 4.80+4.80 = .075x -151.125+4.80
y = .075 x - 146.325
We want to find out how much pretzels were in 1975. Put in x=1975
y = .075(1975) -146.325
y = 148.125-146.325
y=1.80
The question might have some mistake since there are 2 multiplier of t. I found a similar question as follows:
The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of population P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000
Find the derivative of the function to find the critical value
dP/dt = -2(1710)t + 92000
= -3420t + 92000
Find the critical value by equating dP/dt = 0
-3420t + 92000 = 0
92000 = 3420t
t = 92000/3420 = 26.90
Check if it really have max value through 2nd derivative
d(dP)/dt^2 = -3420
2nd derivative is negative, hence it has maximum value
So, the time when it is maximum is 26.9 or 27 hours
