Answer:

model: 
profit in year 2017: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The sales increased from 2 billion dollars to 146 billion dollars in five years, so to find the increase in billion dollars per year, we just need to divide the increase by the amount of time:

To construct a model for these sales, we can use the year 2003 as the initial point of a linear equation:

the variable y will represent the profit in billion dollars, the variable x will represent our time, so we can use (t - 2003) in its place to represent the number of years since 2003 (t is the year we want to calculate), the constant 'a' will be our rate of 28.8, and the constant 'b' is the inicial value for the year 2003, that is, 2 (billions). So we have:

In the year 2017, we would have:



Answer: 22 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: first convert 4 1/2 into a mixed # = 9/2
The divide that by 5 (mult by reciprocal)
Reciprocal is the # flipped so,
9/2 x 1/5
= 45/2
divide 45 by 2
We factor the equation to get:
-(x-25)^2+361
In the form a(x-h)^2+k, the vertex is (h, k), so the vertex is (25, 361). This means that the studio makes the most profit from selling 25 memberships, and thus makes 361 dollars.
B. The x-intercepts are the values of x for which f(x) is 0. This equation can be factored as (-a+6)(a-44)=0, with solutions 6 and 44. Therefore, by selling either 6 memberships or 44 memberships, the studio breaks even, neither making nor losing money.
Answer:
y= -3x +7
Step-by-step explanation: calculate for the difference in slope and you already had your y intercept
