- For the revenue model in Exercise 10.205 and Exercise 10.209, explain what the x-intercepts mean to the computer store owner.arrow_forwardA company buys a new bulldozer for $92050. The company depreciates the bulldozer linearly over its useful life of 17 years. Its salvage value at the end of 17 years is $12150. Depreciation is the decrease or loss in value of the equipment due to age, wear, or market conditions. Express the value of the bulldozer, V, in terms of how many years old it is, t. V=______________ The value of the bulldozer after 5 years is $______________arrow_forwardA collector of antique clocks sold at auction believes that the price received for the clocks may be modeled as a linear function of the age of the clocks and the number of bidders at the auction. After a preliminary study and collection of 32 observations, the collector came up with the following second-order model: y = BO+B₁x₁+B₂x₂ + ß3 x1x2 +B4x² +ɛ, where y: price of a clock; x₁: age of a clock; x2: the number of bidders. Considering the output below and by setting a = 0.05, answer the following questions. The regression equation is Price = 262 +2.26 Age + 14.2 Bidder + 1.13 AgeBid 4.20 Bid^2 Predictor Constant -261.7 2.260 14.21 Age Bidder AgeBid Bid^2 S = 84.512 Coef SE Coef 1.1301 -4.196 Analysis of Variance Source 404.4 2.052 R-Sq= 96.0% Variable Age Bidder AgeBid Bid^2 60.83 0.23 5.17 0.000 0.219 1.344 -3.12 0.004 R-Sq (adj) DF Regression 4 4606950 Residual Error 27 192840 Total 31 4799790 SS T P -0.65 0.523 1.10 0.280 0.817 a.

- A large room contains two speakers that are 3 meters apart. The sound intensity I of one speaker is twice that of the other, as shown in the figure. (To print an enlarged copy of the graph, go to MathGraphs.com.) Suppose the listener is free to move about the room to find those positions that receive equal amounts of sound from both speakers. Such a location satisfies two conditions: (1) the sound intensity at the listener’s position is directly proportional to the sound level of a source, and (2) the sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. (a) Find the points on the x-axis that receive equal amounts of sound from both speakers. (b) Find and graph the equation of all locations (x, y) where one could stand and receive equal amounts of sound from both speakers.arrow_forwardConsider the data shown below. Enter this data into the calculator under STAT as L1 and L2. In the past, we have done Linear Regression and, more recently, Quadratic Regression. This time, we are going to try to fit a cubic polynomial to this data. Is it possible that a cubic function fits the data well? Let's find out. Use the data in the given table to fill in the missing coefficients. Use your calculator and use the CUBIC REGRESSION command on the STAT key (CubicReg). Round your answers to 3 decimal places. -4 . -576.24 -0.5 31.85 3 6.5 36.75 10 845.152 13.5 3133.305 17 7761.6 +. y = How well does the cubic polynomial function fit the data? Choose the best answer. OIt does not fit the data well at all. OThe cubic polynomial fits the data points very well because the value of R 2 is quite close to 1. OI drew the graph and it fits well, I think. OLet me ask my Dad; He knows everything. OI have no idea.arrow_forwardThe weekly demand for cortisone cream at a major drug store chain in Spokane is 135 units at a price of $3.50 each. If the price is increased to $3.95, the weekly demand falls to 120 units. Assuming that the relationship between the weekly demand, x, and the price per unit, p, is linear Express p in terms of x How many units would they sell per week if the price were lowered to $3.05 The store has excess inventory and would like to sell 180 units this week. What price should they charge per unit to meet this goal?arrow_forward

If a 60-year-old person with an income of $100,000 posts an average of 300 times in a week, what is the value of k?arrow_forwardIn 1983, the bison population in Yellowstone National Park was estimated to be only 50 animals living in the wild. By 2006, the population was measured again to be 740 bison living in the park. If the population continues to change linearly: Find a linear function P(t) for the Yellowstone bison population, in terms of t, the number of years since 1983.arrow_forward
