Can someone help me with this? B. Use model 1 to determine the cost in 2000 of what cost $10,000 in 1975. C. Use model 2 to determine the cost in 2000 of what cost $10,000 in 1975.

B. Use model 1 to determine the cost in 2000 of what cost $10,000 in 1975.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

C= 952 (25)+15,162 or C= 952 (30)+15,162

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

C. Use model 2 to determine the cost in 2000 of what cost $10,000 in 1975.

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

what is model1,2?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The first picture has the equation for model 1 and 2.

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

okay, I didn't notice that pic :D.. wait solving...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

if you put x=25 in the first equation, you get y which is the answer

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

38,287

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

i guess you did that way.... that should be correct.

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

and in the second equation what did you put?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I got 38,614

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

And both of them were wrong.. I have a similar problem pulled up now

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

hmmm.... i will ask @phi

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

is the answer 32000, just asking?

OpenStudy (phi):

the "fine print" says x is the number of years from 1980 if we want the number for year 2000, we want to use x= 2000-1980= 20 (not sure how we got 30!)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I think it was 32,202 but I cant see it any more.

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

@phi is here... He is awesome....... dont worry @Destinyyyy

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So I ignore 1975??? O.o

OpenStudy (phi):

the formula we use says "x is years from 1980". ok, then that is what we do.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

for the first one you sub in 20 for x

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

34,202

OpenStudy (phi):

ok

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Is that the final answer?

OpenStudy (phi):

it depends, do they want the exact number, or do they want you to round it to the nearest thousand?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

It says round to the nearest thousand dollar as needed.

OpenStudy (phi):

I know for part (a) you should round. (it is hard to read a graph very accurately)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Opps sorry read the wrong one. It says round to the nearest dollar as needed

OpenStudy (phi):

then that is the answer (without the comma, probably)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay..What about C.?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Do the same thing?

OpenStudy (phi):

x is still 20, but use a different equation

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

29,964

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

if you go by the graph, it looks like 32,000

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes thats the answer for A.

OpenStudy (phi):

I got a different number for part c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is your name destiny cuz my name is desteny just with an e insted of an i

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

15,964

OpenStudy (phi):

can you show your work?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

-2(20)^2 +1020 (20) +14364 -2(400)+ 2400 +14,364 15964

OpenStudy (phi):

1020*20 is not 2400

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes my name is Destiny.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cool

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Opps guess I typed plus instead of multiply

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

C = -2 (20^2) + 1020(20) + 14,364 C = -2(400) + 20,400 + 14,364 C = -800 + 20,400 + 14,364 C = -800 + 34,764 C = 33,964......I am getting this

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes I just got that

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So 33,964 is the final answer?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay. Thank you!

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

if it does not have to be rounded...then yes

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):
