We modeled milk and soda consumption earlier in the term. For this problem, use these equations: M=36.8−0.29⋅tM=36.8-0.29⋅t S=10.7+0.768⋅tS=10.7+0.768⋅t where t is years since 1950 M is gallons of milk consumed by one person in a year S is gallons of soda consumed by one person in a year Q. When would the amount of milk be the same as the amount of soda consumed (on average)? show work.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
4. We modeled milk and soda consumption earlier in the term. For this problem, use these equations:
M=36.8−0.29⋅tM=36.8-0.29⋅t
S=10.7+0.768⋅tS=10.7+0.768⋅t
where t is years since 1950
M is gallons of milk consumed by one person in a year
S is gallons of soda consumed by one person in a year
Q. When would the amount of milk be the same as the amount of soda consumed (on average)? show work.
