For the period 1997-2003, the number of eggs y (in billions) produced in the United States can be modeled by the function y=-0.2

7x^2+3.3x+77 where x is the number of years since 1997
a. Write and solve an equation that you can use to approximate the year(s) in which 80 billion eggs were produced.

B. Graph the function on a graphing calculator. Use the trace feature to fin the year when 80 billion eggs were produced. Use the graph to check your answer from part (a).

Answer:

Part a) The approximate years were 1998 and 2008

Part b) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

y=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77

For y=80\ billion\ eggs

Solve the quadratic equation

80=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77

0.27x^{2}-3.3x+3=0

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

0.27x^{2}-3.3x+3=0

so

a=0.27\\b=-3.3\\c=3

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{3.3(+/-)\sqrt{-3.3^{2}-4(0.27)(3)}} {2(0.27)}

x=\frac{3.3(+/-)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}

x=\frac{3.3(+)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}=11.23\ years

x=\frac{3.3(-)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}=0.99\ years

therefore

The approximate years are

1997+11=2008

1997+1=1998

Part b)

Using a graphing tool

we have

y=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77

y=80

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point are (0.99,80) and (11.23,80)

see the attached figure

therefore

The solution part a) is correct

QUESTION 1a.

We want to add

( - 2 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 13) + (12 {x}^{2}  + 2x - 25)

We group similar terms to get

- 2 {x}^{2}  + 12 {x}^{2}- 4x + 2x   - 25 + 13

Simplify:

- 10{x}^{2} - 2x  -12

QUESTION 1b.

The given function is:

(7x^2+4x-26)-(-7x^2-3x+15)

Expand the parenthesis to obtain,

7x^2+4x-26 + 7x^2 + 3x - 15

Group similar terms,

7x^2+7 {x}^{2}  + 4x + 3x-26  - 15

Simplify:

14{x}^{2}  + 7x-41

QUESTION 2

The given function is

f(n)=n^2-6n-16

The zeros of this function is given by;

n^2-6n-16 = 0

Split the middle term.

n^2-8n + 2n-16 = 0

Factor;

n(n - 8) + 2(n - 8) = 0

(n - 8)(n + 2) = 0

n - 8 = 0 \: or \: n + 2 = 0

n  = 8 \: or \: n =  - 2

Vince borrows $900 to buy a couch. He will pay off the loan by paying 1.5% simple interest for 2 years. Vince incorrectly calcul
anygoal [31]

Answer: C. 00:00 $927; Vince wrote the wrong number to represent the interest rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed (p) = 900

Simple interest (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Time (t) = 2 years

Amount he'll pay back (A) :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 900(1 + 0.015(2))

A = 900(1 + 0.03)

A = 900(1.03)

A = $927

In 6 years, a bond that paid 5.5% earned $594 interest. What was the principal of the<br> bond?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Principal = $1800

Step-by-step explanation:

594 =  \frac{p \times 5.5 \times 6}{100}

\frac{594 \times 100}{5.5 \times 6}

59400/33 = p

1800 = p
