Form 1960 to 2000, prices increased, on average, by 2.5 cents per gallon per year. 4 a. Using G for the price, in cents per gallon, and t for the time, in years, since 1960, use a formula to express G as linear function of t. b. What price per gallon does the model yield for 1990? Note: The actual price was 1.00 per gallon. c. Use the Internet to find the average price of gasoline for the current year. Does the model from part a give a price near the current price?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Male and Female High School Graduates The table below shows the percentage of male and female high school graduates who enrolled in college within 12 months of graduation. Years 1960 1965 1970 1975 Males 54 57.3 55.2 52.6 Females 37.9 45.3 48.5 49 a. Find the equation of the regression line for percentage of male high school graduates entering college as a function of time. b. Find the equation of the regression line for percentage of female high school graduates entering college as a function of time. c. Assume that the regression lines you found in part a and part b represent trends in the data. If the trends persisted, when would you expect first to have seen the same percentage of female and male graduates entering college? You may be interested to know that this actually occurred for the first time in 1980. The percentages fluctuated but remained very close during the 1981s and 1990s. In the 2000s, more female graduates entered college than did males. In 2008, for example, the rate for males was 66 compared with 72 for females.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answer to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Budget Constraints Your family likes to eat fruit, but because of budget constraints, you spend only 5 each week on fruit. Your two choices are apples and grapes. Apples cost 1 per pound, and grapes cost 2 per pound. Let a denote the number f pounds of apples you buy and g the number of pounds of grapes. Because of your budget, it is possible to express g as a linear function of the variable a. To find the linear formula, we need to find its slope and initial value. a. If you buy one more pound of apples, how much less money do you have available to spend on grapes? Then how many fewer pounds of grapes can you buy? b. Use your answer to part a to find the slope of g as a linear function of a. Hint: Remember that the slope is the change in the function that results from increasing the variable by 1. Should the slope of g be positive or negative? c. To find the initial value of g, determine how many pounds of grapes you can buy if you buy no apples. d. Use your answer to parts b and c to find a formula for g as a linear function of a.arrow_forward

Currency Conversion The number P of British pounds that you can get from a bank is a linear function of the number D of American dollars you pay. An American tourist arriving at Heathrow airport in England went to a banking window at the airport and gave the teller 70 American dollars. She received 46 British pounds in exchange. In this exercise, assume that there is no service charge for exchanging currency. a. What is the rate of change, or slope, of P with respect to D? Explain in practical terms what this number means. Note: You need two values to calculate a slope, but you were given only one. If you think about it, you know one other value. How many British pounds can you get for zero American dollars? b. A few days later, the American tourist went to a bank in Plymouth and exchange 130 American dollars for British pounds. How many pounds did she receive? c. Upon returning to the airport, she found that she found that she still had 12.32 in British currency in her purse. In preparation for the trip home, she exchanged that for American dollars. How much money, in American dollars, did she get?arrow_forward
