Answer:

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

A linear function has the following function:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope(the value that y changes by when x changes by 1) and b is the y-intercept(the initial value of the output).

Finding the value in 2005:

This is b.

The number of Apple iPods sold in 2009 was 54.13 million. That number decreased approximately linearly to 26.38 million iPods sold in 2013.

So in 4 years, it decreased from 54.13 - 26.38 = 27.75 million.

So the value in 2005 should also be 27.75 million more than in 2009, that is 54.13 + 27.75 = 81.88. So

y = mx + 81.88

Using A for y and t for x

A(t) = mt + 81.88

Finding the slope:

When we have two points, the slope is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In 4 years, the amount decrease by 27.75 million. So

m = -\frac{27.75}{4} = -6.9375

So

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.

Write two different expressions that<br> represent the quantity x decreased<br> by 30%.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 30 = 14 - 3x

    4x = 44

      x = 11

Let's call the unknown number x

Now let's decrease it by 30, that is x-30

Now let's write out "14 decreased by three times the number", that is 14 - 3x

The problem says these are the same, that is x - 30 = 14 - 3x

We now want to isolate, or solve for, x

Move the x to one side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides

3x + x -30 = 14 - 3x + 3x

4x -30 = 14

Now move the 30 to the right hand side by adding 30 to both sides

4x - 30 + 30 = 14 + 30

4x = 44

Now all we have to do to get x is divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 11
