Magazine Circulation: The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula
Here C is measured in thousands, and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006, when the magazine was started.
a. Make a graph of C versus t covering the first 6 years of the magazine’s existence.
b. Express using functional notation the circulation of the magazine 18 months after it was started, and then find that value.
c. Over what time interval is the graph of C concave up? Explain your answer in practical terms.
d. At what time was the circulation increasing the fastest?.
e. Determine the limiting value for C. Explain your answer in practical terms.

- Show how you can solve the system of equations by manipulating the algebra tiles while maintaining the balances. On this side of the page, use the addition (elimination) method. Keep track of what you did at each step by writing down the corresponding equivalent equations, as well as what you did to go from one equation to the next. 1. x + 2y = 5 x-2y=1 2. 2x+y=2 x-2y= 6arrow_forwarde) x24 1) Which of these are equivalent to x³? For each expression that is equivalent to x², prove it by using the definition of exponents. For each that is not equivalent to x³, give an example using a specific value for x that shows that it represents a different number. a) (x5) d) f) 10-2 b) (x²) *|*arrow_forwardNow show how you can solve the system of equations by manipulating the algebra tiles while maintaining the balances, using the substitution method.

- 1. Write a system of two linear equations in slope-intercept form that has exactly one solution at the point (3, 4), such that both lines have positive slope (but neither one has slope of 1) Also write your system of equations with both equations written in standard form without any fractions. 8- 7 8 5 4 3 -2- + -8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 1 2 3 -1 2 - 4 -5 -7 -8arrow_forwardThe original idea for creating this applet comes from Steve Phelps' Graph the Line applet. Directions: 1) Examine the equation shown on the right side of the screen. 2) Reposition the 2 big points so that the line is the graph of the displayed equation. 3) Click the "Check Answer" checkbox to check. If you're correct, the app will inform you. If you're not, you'll know this as well. If you're not correct, keep trying until you position the gray line correctly. 4) After correctly graphing the line, click the "Generate New Line" button.arrow_forwardProblem 1 & 2 answers 1.
