Math check!
A newspaper started an online version of its paper 14 years ago. In a recent presentation to stockholders, the lead marketing executive states that the revenues for online ads have more than doubled that of the revenues for printed ads since starting the online version of the paper. Use the graph below to justify the lead executive’s statement and to determine the approximate year that the two ad revenues were equal. Graph with x axis labeled years. Y axis labeled revenue in dollars. The line for printed ad revenue starts at 0, 3 and goes through the10, 2. The line for online ad revenue starts at 0, 0 zero and goes through the 10, 3.
hi nice to meet you
At year 14 the online revenue is currently 4.2 million. The print revenue is currently 1.6 million. The online revenue is ( 4.2/ 1.6) = 2.625 times larger than the print revenue. x = 7.5 So at exactly 7 years and 6 months both revenues are the same
The problem statement clearly says, "Use the graph below to do this and that." Looks like you'll need to find a way to share that graph with the rest of us here.
" .. to determine the approximate year that the two ad revenues were equal...." Take a close look at the graph. at approxmately what point do the 2 graphs intersect one another? Give the x-coordinate. What would the y-coordinate represent?
