A company involved in the export of trucks has estimated that the profit (U) in millions of dollars depends on "n" (number of containers exported) according to the formula: U = 6n - 0.02*(n-1) If the profit was 100 million dollars and you cannot use the method of solving first degree equations, how can you find out approximately how many containers were exported?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
