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?arrow_forwardManufacturing Cost The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs $2200 to produce 100 chairs in one day and $4800 to produce 300 chair in or day. (a) Assuming that the relationship between cost and the number of chair’ produced is linear, find a linear function C that models the cost of producing x chair’s in one day. (b) Draw a graph of C. What is the slope of this line? (c) At what rate does the factory’s cost increase for every additional chair produced?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forward6. Tuition at American Private Universities The following table shows the average yearly tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American private nonprofit universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 27,870 2013 29,004 2014 30,138 2015 31,272 2016 32,406 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Plot the data points and add the graph of the linear formula you found in part a. c.
