- In Exercises 7–12, describe the relationship between the two quantities.arrow_forwardThe average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the UnitedStates during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992.Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients. Then simplify the model.arrow_forwardUse this information to solve Exercises 9–11:A company is planning to produce and sell a new line of computers. The fixed cost will be $360,000 and it will cost $850 to produce each computer. Each computer will be sold for $1150. 9. Write the cost function, C, of producing x computers. 10. Write the revenue function, R, from the sale of x computers. 11. Determine the break-even point. Describe what this means.arrow_forward
- For Exercises 49–52, rewrite the equation so that the coefficient on x is positive.arrow_forwardAmerica is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older.The formula E = 5.8√x + 56.4 models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, x years after 2020.a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radicalform.b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph ? By how much?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 63–64, list all numbers that must be excluded from the domain of the given function. 3 63. f(x) = x? + 4x – 45 7 64. f(x) x? - 3x – 28arrow_forward
- In Exercises 45–46, the domain of each piecewise function is (-*,). a. Graph each function. b. Use the graph to determine the function's range. S 5 if xs -1 45. f(x) = -3 if x> -1 | 2x if x <0 46. f(x) = if x2 0arrow_forwardIn Exercises 65–68, find and sketch the domain of ƒ. Then find an equation for the level curve or surface of the function passing through the given point.arrow_forwardExercises 93–94: Energy The following graph shows U.S. Energy consumption. 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 04 1970 1990 2010 Year 93. When was energy consumption increasing? 94. When was energy consumption decreasing? Energy (millions of Btu)arrow_forward

Give any x- and y-intercepts on the graph of f. c. Identify where fis negative or positive. d. Identify where fis increasing or decreasing. e. Is the average rate of change of f from x = -4 to x = 4 positive, negative, or zero? y = f(x)- 4 111.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 87–88, use the graph of f(x) = |4 – x| to solve each equation or inequality. y flx) = |4 – x| y = 53- y = 1 $ 9 10 87. 14 - x| = 1 88. 14 - x| < 5arrow_forward
