In Exercises 15-17, find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) A varies jointly as xandy.A=500whenx=15andy=8.
Market supply The following table shows the quantity S of wheat, in billions of bushels, that wheat supplies are willing to produce in a year and offer for sale at a price P, in dollars per bushel. S = quantity of wheat P = price 1.0 1.35 1.5 2.40 2.0 3.45 2.5 4.50 In economics, it is customary to plot S on the horizontal axis and P on the vertical axis, so we will think of S as a variable and of P as a function of S. a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Make a graph of the linear formula you found in part a. This is called the market supply curve. c. Explain why the market supply curve should be increasing. Hint: Think about what should happen when the price increases. d. How much wheat would suppliers be willing to produce in a year and offer for sale at a price of 3.90 per bushel?

Neurology The average weight of a male child’s brain is 970 grams at age 1 and 1270 grams at age 3. (a) Assuming that the relationship between brain weight y and age t is linear, write a linear model for the data. (b) What is the slope and what does it tell you about brain weight? (c) Use your model to estimate the average brain weight at age 2. (d) Use your school’s library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find the actual average brain weight at age 2. How close was your estimate? (e) (d) Do you think your model could be used to determine the average brain weight of an adult? Explain.
