Chapter 1.3, Problem 94E

Operating Expenses The operating expenses of Amazon increased from $3.6 billion in 2008 to $16.3 billion in 2012.50

a. Use this information to find a linear model for Amazon’s operating expenses E (in billions of dollars) as a function of time t in years since 2010.

b. Give the units of measurement and interpretation of the slope.

c. Use the model from pan (a) to estimate the 2011 operating expenses. (The actual 2011 operating expenses were $10.9 billion.)

  • Manufacturing Cost The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs 2200 to produce 100 chairs in one day and 4800 to produce 300 chairs in one day. a Assuming that the relationship between cost and the number of chairs produced is linear, find a linear function C that models the cost of producing x chairs in one day. b Draw a graph of C. What is the slope of this line? c At what rate does the factorys cost increase for every additional chair produced?
    Sound Speed in Oceans Marine scientists use a linear model for the speed c of sound in the oceans as a function of the salinity S at a fixed depth and temperature. In the following table, one scientist recorded data for c and S at a depth of 500 meters and a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Here c is measured in meters per second and S in part per thousand. Salinity S Sound speed c 35.0 1515.36 35.6 1516.08 36.2 1516.80 36.8 1517.62 37.4 1518.24 a. Looking over the table, the scientist realizes that one of the entries for sound speed is in error. Which entry is it, and what is the correct speed? b. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the linear model for c in terms of S at the given depth and temperature. c. Calculate c39 and explain in practical terms what it means.
    Demand for Candy Bars In this problem you will determine a linear demand equation that describes the demand for candy bars in your class. Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars? Would you buy a candy bar from the vending machine in the hallway if the price is as indicated. Price Yes or No 50 75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00
