- LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Cost Analysis Acme Products sells a machine for doing a certain type of blood test for 40,000, which costs 20 for each use. Amalgamated Medical Supplies sells a similar machine for only 32,000, but it costs 30 for each use. How many times must the machines be used for the total cost to be equal?arrow_forwardDogs Human Age From the data printed in the following table from the Minneapolis Star Tribune on September 20, 1998, a dogs age when compared to a humans age can be modeled using either a linear formula or a quadratic formula as follows: y1=4.13x+14.63 y2=-0.033x2+4.647x+13.347, where y1 and y2 represent a dogs human age for each formula and x represents the dogs actual age.
