The local baseball team won the national championship last year. At the start of the baseball season, shirts signed by the team

members sold for $250. However, three months into the season, the team had a losing record and the shirts were only selling for $75.
Write an equation to represent this situation. Assume that the price of the shirts decreased by the same rate each month.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplier: -175/3 Decrease: 23⅓ %

Step-by-step explanation: 75 = 250 - 3(d) d = -175/3 Y = 250 - (175/3)m

Where m is the no.

of months Y is the new value

(175/3)/250 × 100 = 70/3 %

Or 23⅓ %

Which systems of equations intersect at point A in this graph?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

The correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point

A (-2, 1)

Let us check the system of equations to determine whether it intersect at point A in this graph.

Given the system of equations

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Arrange equation variable for elimination

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ y+3x=-5\end{bmatrix}$

so

$y+3x=-5$

$-$

$\underline{y-4x=9}$

$7x=-14$

so the system of equations becomes

$\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ 7x=-14\end{bmatrix}$

Solve 7x = -14 for x

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{-14}{7}$

Simplify

$x = -2$

For y - 4x = 9 plug in x = 2

$y-4\left(-2\right)=9$

$y+4\cdot \:2=9$

$y+8=9$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$y+8-8=9-8$

Simplify

y = 1

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

From the attached graph, it is also clear that the system of equations intersects at point x = -2, and y = 1.

In other words, the point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

Therefore, the correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:

$\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}$

Thus, the second option is correct.

The projected rate of increase in enrollment at a new branch of the UT-system is estimated by E ′ (t) = 12000(t + 9)−3/2 where E

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The projected enrollment is $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided projected rate.

$E'(t) = 12000(t + 9)^{\frac{-3}{2}}$

Integrate the above function.

$E(t) =\int 12000(t + 9)^{\frac{-3}{2}}dt$

$E(t) =-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+c$

The initial enrollment is 2000, that means at t=0 the value of E(t)=2000.

$2000=-\frac{24000}{\left(0+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+c$

$2000=-\frac{24000}{3}+c$

$2000=-8000+c$

$c=10,000$

Therefore, $E(t) =-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+10,000$

Now we need to find $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)$

$\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+10,000$

$\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$

Hence, the projected enrollment is $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$
