We want to find a linear equation that models the given situation.

The solution is p = $0.0001*q - $23

The general linear equation is:

p = m*q + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

If we know that the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) then the slope can be written as:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Here we have the two points:

price = $9, boxes = 320,000

price = $8.50, boxes = 270,000

We can rewrite these as:

(320,000 , $9)

(270,000 , $8.50)

Then the slope of the line will be:

m = \frac{\$ 9 - \$ 8.50}{320,000 - 270,000}  = \$ 0.00001

Then the line is something like:

p = $0.0001*q + c

To find the value of c we can use one of the two given points, I will use the first one, (320,000 , $9).

Replacing that in our equation we get:

$9 = $0.0001*320,000 + c  

$9 - $0.0001*320,000  = c = -$23

Then the linear equation is:

p = $0.0001*q - $23

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 16 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.
