Concept explainers

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.

Chapter 16.1, Problem 44E

Housing Starts (Based on Exercise 42, but no graphing technology required) The number of housing starts (number of new privately owned housing units started) from 2009 through mid-2011 can be approximated by the function

s ( t ) = 10.2 sin ( 0.537 t − 1.46 ) + 47.6   thousand housing starts per month  ( 0 ≤ t ≤ 30 ) , where t is time in months. ( t = 0 represents the start of January 2009.) Calculate the amplitude, the vertical offset, the phase shift, the angular frequency, and the period, and interpret the results.
