Concept explainers

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.

Chapter 2.2, Problem 78E

Cocoa Production In 2005, global cocoa bean production was approximately 3.3 million metric tons. In 2015, production was approximately 4.1 million metric tons. (Data from: The Wall Street Journal.)

(a) Write a linear equation expressing cocoa bean production y in terms of the number of years x after 2000.

(b) What was the cocoa bean production in 2012?

(c) If the trend continues, what will be the first full year in which cocoa bean production exceeds 5 million metric tons?
