The number y (in thousands) of male participants in high school lacrosse in the United States from 2008 through 2015 can be approximated by the linear model y=3.66t+91.4,2t5 where t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2010. (a) Find algebraically and interpret the y-intercept of the graph of the linear model. (b) Use the linear model to predict the year in which there will be 128,000 male participants.

The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 90 units will be occupied if the rent is 392 dollars per month. A market survey suggests that, on the average, one additional unit will remain vacant for each 7 dollar increase in rent. Simarly, one additional unit will be occupied for each 7 dollar decrease in rent. (a) If x is the number of units rented, and p is the rent per unit in dollars, what is the price-demand equation (assuming it is linear)? p=_____ (b) What is the monthly revenue function?
