You're on the right track. If they generated 380 less than 2012, then in 2013 they generated 9782-380 = 9402.
They used 10472 in 2012, so 10472+390 = 10862 used in 2013. now subtract used from produced to see how much they had to buy...
10862-10472 = 390
They had to buy 390khW from the power company.
Answer:
The Industrial Revolution shifted from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy where products were no longer made solely by hand but by machines. This led to increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.
Given that the debt has been represented by the function:
f(x)=-6x^2+8x+50
To get the number of years, x that it would take for the company to be debt free we proceed as follows:
we solve the equation for f(x)=0
hence:
0=-6x^2+8x+50
solving for x using the quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
x=[-8+/-sqrt(8^2-4*(-6)*50)]/(-6*2)
x=[-8+/-√1264]/(-12)
x=27.552
x~28
