Answer:
it is C
Step-by-step explanation:
5p - 3q = -39
- (-2p - 3q = 3)
==> 7p = -42 ==> p = -6
==> p = -6
-2(-6) - 3q = 3 ==> 12 - 3q = 3
==>p = -6
-3q = 3 - 12 ==> -3q = -9
==> p = -6
q = 3
A’s increase is 1.8/1.5=6/5; B’s increase is 1/0.6=5/3.
A formula for A is A(t)=1.5(6/5)^t and for B, B(t)=0.6(5/3)^t where t is years since 2004.
When A=B, 1.5(6/5)^t=0.6(5/3)^t.
Taking logs: log1.5+tlog(6/5)=log0.6+tlog(5/3), t(log(5/3)-log(6/5))=log1.5-log0.6.
tlog(25/18)=log2.5, t=log2.5/log(25/18)=2.7893 approx.
This occurs during 2006 around mid-October.
Common sales=1.5(6/5)^2.7893=0.6(5/3)^2.7893=$2.4943 billion.
F(10) means they want you to plug in 10. The piecewise function tells you that when x is greater or equal to 3, you use 6-2x. What I am saying is that since the number you want to plug in is greater than 3, then you plug in 10 into 6-2x.
f(10)=6-2*10=-14
