Demand: Smartphones The worldwide demand for smartphones may be modeled by
a. Use the demand function to estimate, to the nearest million units, worldwide sales of smartphones if the price is $110.
b. Extrapolate the demand function to estimate, to the nearest million units, worldwide sales of smartphones if the price is $90.
c. Model the worldwide annual revenue from the sale of smartphones as a function of unit price, and use your model to estimate, to the nearest billion dollars, worldwide annual revenue when the price is set at $110.
[Hint:
]
d. Graph the function you obtained in part (c). According to the graph, does worldwide revenue increase or decrease as the price decreases past $110?

- Sales Barnes & Noble had annual sales of $6.8 billion in 2013 and $6.1 billion in 2015. Use the Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2014. Assume that the annual sales followed a linear pattern.arrow_forwardTotal Body Water Accurate prediction of total body water is critical in determining adequate dialysis doses for patients with renal disease. For white males, total body water can be estimated by the function T(A,W,B)=23.040.03A+0.50W0.62B where T is the total body water in liters, A is age in yr, W is weight in kg, and B is the body mass index.
