Given:
The cost of each carnival ticket is $5.
To find:
The equation, table of values and graph for the given problem.
Solution:
Let x be the number of tickets and y be the total money spent on tickets.
Cost of one ticket = $5
Cost of x tickets = $5x
So, total cost is
The required equation is .
At x=1,
At x=2,
At x=3,
The required table of values is
x y
1 5
2 10
3 15
So, the required table of values is table A.
From the above table, it is clear that the graph passes through the point (1,5), (2,10) and (3,15). The graph B passes through these points.
So, the required graph is graph B.
Since the required answers are , table A, graph B, therefore the correct option is B.
The correct format of the question is
At the end of 2006, the population of Riverside was 400 people. The population for this small town can be modeled by the equation below, where t represents the number of years since the end of 2006 and P represents the number of people. Based on this model, approximately what was the increase in the population of Riverside at the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2006?
(A) 291
(B) 691
(C) 1040
(D) 1440
Answer:
The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation as
where
P = No of People
t= No of Years
it is given that in the year 2006 the population is 400
this will only happen when we take t= 0
so for
Year value of t
2006- t = 0
2007- t = 1
2008- t = 2
2009 t = 3
No of people in 2009 will be
= 400*1.728
P = 691.2
Since the equation represents no of people so it can't be in decimals, Therefore the population will be 691
Increase = P(2009) - P(2006)
= 691 - 400
= 291
The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people.
