- HOW DO YOU SEE IT? The graphs labeled L1,L2,L3, and L4 represent four different pricing discounts, where p is the original price (in dollars) and S is the sale price (in dollars). Match each function with its graph. Describe the situations in parts c and d. a fp:A50 discount is applied. b gp:A$5 discount is applied. c gfp d fgparrow_forwardTEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.3 The State of New York also has an income tax. The tax table for New York shows that a single New York resident with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 671 in New York income tax. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 701. Assume that the state tax is a linear function of taxable income, and find the tax owed if the taxable income is 15,350. EXAMPLE 3.3 OKLAHOMA INCOME TAX The amount of income tax T=T(l), in dollars, owed to the state of Oklahoma is a linear function of the taxable income l, in dollars, at least over a suitably restricted range of incomes. According to the Oklahoma Income Tax table for the year 2015, a single Oklahoma resident taxpayer with a taxable income of 15,000 owes 579 in Oklahoma income tax. In functional notation, this is T(15,000)=579. If the taxable income is 15,500, then the table shows a tax liability of 605. Part 1 Calculate the rate of change in T with respect to I, and explain in practical terms what it means. Part 2 How much does the taxpayer owe if the taxable income is 15,350?arrow_forwardTotal Cost The background for this exercise can be found in Exercises 13 and 14 in Section 3.2. The following table gives the total cost C, in dollars, for a widget manufacturer as a function of the number N of widgets produced during a month. Number N Total cost C 200 7900 250 9650 300 11, 400 350 13, 150 a. What are the fixed costs and variable cost for this manufacturer? b. The manufacturer wants to reduce the fixed costs so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975. What will the new fixed costs be? c. Instead of reducing the fixed costs as in part b, the manufacturer wants to reduce the variable cost so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975. What will the new variable cost be?arrow_forward
- Demand for Soft Drinks A convenience stores manager notices that sales of soft drinks are higher on hotter days, so he assembles the data in the table. a Make a scatter plot of the data. b Find and graph a linear function that models the data. c Use the model to predict soft drink sales if the temperature is 95. High temperature Number of cans sold 55 340 58 335 64 410 68 460 70 450 75 610 80 735 84 780arrow_forwardBusiness The annual cost C (in thousands of dollars) and revenue R (in thousands of dollars) for a company each year from 2010 through 2016 can be approximated by the models C=2549t+1.1t2andR=341+3.2t where P is the year, with t=10 corresponding to 2010. (a) Write a function P that represents the annual profit of the company. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph C,R, and P in the same viewing window.arrow_forwardAverage Cost The inventor of a new game believes that the variable cost for producing the game is $0.95 per unit and the fixed costs are $6000. The inventor sells each game for $1.69. Let x be the number of games produced. (a) The total cost for a business is the sum of the variable cost and the fixed costs. Write the total cost C as a function of the number of games produced. (b) Write the average cost per unit C=Cx as a function of x.arrow_forward
