- Find the value of y between the points (2, y) and (5, − 1) with slope − 3.arrow_forwardIn industry, the relationship between wages and the quit ratio of employees is defined to be the percentage of employees that quit within 1 year of employment. The quit ratio of a large restaurant chain that paid its employees the minimum hourly wage ($7.25 per hour) was .2 or 20 employees per 100. When the company raised the hourly wage to $8, the quit ratio dropped to .18, or 18 employees per 100. (a) Assuming a linear relationship between the quit ratio Q(x) and the hourly wage x, find an expression for Q(x). (b) What should the hourly wage be for the quit ratio to drop to 10 employees per 100?arrow_forwardSuppose that notebooks may be bought in bulk. If you can avail the first 20 notebooks at P15 each, and every piece of notebook thereafter costs P20, make a linear equation for this situation. (Let x be the number of notebook and y be the cost of the bulk order.arrow_forward
- The weekly demand for cortisone cream at a major drug store chain in Spokane is 135 units at a price of $3.50 each. If the price is increased to $3.95, the weekly demand falls to 120 units. Assuming that the relationship between the weekly demand, x, and the price per unit, p, is linear Express p in terms of x How many units would they sell per week if the price were lowered to $3.05 The store has excess inventory and would like to sell 180 units this week. What price should they charge per unit to meet this goal?arrow_forwardSuppose it costs $8750 for a public health nurse to provide a prenatal education program to 25 pregnant women, but it costs 12,500 to provide to 40 women. If x represents the number of women served by the program and y the cost, assuming a linear relationship, how much would it cost to provide the program to 150 women?arrow_forwardSuppose that the supply function for honey is p=S(q)=0.2q+22, where p is the price in dollars for an 8-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. Suppose also that the equilibrium price is $4.40 and the demand is 3 barrels when the price is $5.80. Find an equation for the demand function, assuming it is linear.arrow_forward
- 1. What is the slope of the line tangent to the curve y=x3(x2-3) at x=-1? A. 1/4 B. -1/4 C.-4 D. 4 2. What is the equation of the line tangent to the curve y=(4x2+3)(x+6) at x=2? A. y=-147x+142 B. y=-147x+292 C. y=147x+292 D. y=147x-142arrow_forwardA clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts,nn,it can sell and the price,pp, it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1100011000 shirts can be sold at a price of $61, while 1300013000 shirts can be sold at a price of $45. Give a linear equation in the form p=mn+bp=mn+b that gives the price pp they can charge for nn shirts. p= ?arrow_forwardA plant can manufacture 50 golf culbs per day at a total daily cost of $5413 and 60 golf culbs per day at a total daily cost of $6163. Assuming that daily cost and production are linearly related,find the total daily cost, C, of producing x golf clubs. The answer was C=75x+1663, How does one get this answer?What are the steps to reaching this solution?arrow_forward
- From the early 1970s through 2010 in the US, the enrollment of 3-4 year olds has steadily increased. In 1970, 20% of 3 - 4 year olds were enrolled in Pre-K while in 2010, the Pre-K enrollment of 3 - 4 year olds was 53%. Write a linear equation that would model this data where t = time in years after 1970 and P is the rate of 3 - 4 year old enrollment in pre-K as a percentage. P = 0.825t +20 P = 0.825t - 53 P = -0.825t +20 P = 0.825t + 53 P = 0.825t -20arrow_forwardThe management of Titan Tire Company has determined that the weekly demand and supply functions for their Super Titan tires are given by p=144-x^2 p=48+1/2x^2 respectively, where p is measured in dollars and x is measured in units of a thousand. Find the equilibrium quantity and price.arrow_forwardIf the linear equation between Height and Gestational Age is given as: Height=a + b Gest x What is the value of a from the output above What is the value of b from the output abovearrow_forward
