Q: For the company above, what is the y-coordinate of the break-even point, and what does it represent?

$$R(121) = 81.5 \times 121 = 9841.5. It $$represents the total revenue and cost at break-even.

Q: Using the model $$y = -0.15x + 27$$, estimate the percent of U.S. residents smoking in 2025.

$$y = -0.15 \times 40 + 27 = 21$$

$$(-\infty, 7]$$

Question 7

Given the table of U.S. smoking rates, which model best fits the data for $$y$$, the percent of smokers, as a function of $$x$$, years after 1985?

Accepted Answer

$$y = -0.15x + 27$$

Question 8

What does the slope of the model $$y = -0.15x + 27$$ represent in the context of U.S. smoking rates?

Accepted Answer

The average decrease in smoking percentage per year after 1985.

Question 9

Using the model $$y = -0.15x + 27$$, estimate the percent of U.S. residents smoking in 2025.

Accepted Answer

$$y = -0.15 	imes 40 + 27 = 21$$

Question 10

A company’s profit from 232 units is $$321, and from 264 units is 545. $$What is the equation of the profit function?

Accepted Answer

$$P(x) = 7x - 1333$$

Question 11
