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

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

7x ≥ 8y

Step-by-step explanation:

The first hen laid 7 eggs per week for x weeks.  7x

The second hen laid 8 eggs per week for y weeks. 8y

The total number of eggs laid by the first hen was at least the total number of eggs laid by the second hen.

7x ≥ 8y

Jo is thinking of a number. Four less than 9 times the number is 176. Find Jo’s number
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Jo's Number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - ( 9 x ? ) = 176.

9 x 20 = 180.

9 x 20 = 180, then subtract 180 by 4.

180 - 4 = 176.

Therefore, Jo's number is 20.
