Answer:
a = 2, b = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = ax² + bx
is the measure of the slope at x = a
Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule
(a
) = na
= 2ax + b, hence
2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)
Substitute x = 2 into
4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y
4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)
Subtract ( 1) from (2)
b = - 2 - 3 = - 5
Substitute b = - 5 into (1)
4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )
4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
a = 2
CPI in 1960 = 29.6
CPI in 1980 = 82.4
Growth (%) in CPI = × 100
⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = × 100
⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.3783.. %
⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.4%
Now, we know that price of frozen chicken pie in 1960 = $0.28
Also, we know that over 1960 to 1980, frozen chicken pie price grew at the same rate as CPI
Hence, Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = Price of Chicken Pie in 1960 × (1 + Growth in CPI)
⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 × (1 + 178.4%)
⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + (0.28 × 178.4%)
⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.49952
⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.50
⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = $0.78
Hence, price of chicken pie in 1980 would be ~$0.78
