Answer to Problem 52AYU
Solution:
a. The plot of the data in Cartesian plane is as shown below:
b. Yes, it is proved that the number of hot dogs purchased is a linear function of the number of sodas purchased .
c. The linear function of the given data is .
d. The implied domain of the given function is .
e. The graph is as shown below:
f. The function is an decreasing function.
g. Therefore, the is 12 and is 20.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given data is
Formula Used:
Average rate of change if a function from to is .
Point slope formula:
Calculation:
a. The plot of the given data in a Cartesian plane is
b. Here, in the above Cartesian plane, we can see that the points are arranged in a straight line format.
On joining the given points, we get a straight non vertical line.
Therefore, we can say that the given number of hot dogs purchased is a linear function of number of sodas purchased .
c. From the given data, we can find the average rate of change.
When
Now, we get the average rate of change of the given function as
Thus, the rate of change of the given function is .
Now, we have to use this in the point slope formula, where and .
Thus, we get
Therefore, the linear function of the given data is .
d. We can see that the value of x in the linear function can be any number. Therefore, the implied domain of the given function is .
e. The graph of the linear function is
f. We know that the average rate of change of the function is itself its slope.
Thus, here we have seen that the slope is which is a negative number.
Therefore, the function is an decreasing function.
g. is to be calculated when is equal to zero and intercept is to be calculated when is equal to zero.
From the function , we can calculate the intercepts and intercept.

:
Therefore, the is 12 and is 20.

- This question builds on an earlier problem. The randomized numbers may have changed, but have your work for the previous problem available to help with this one. A 4-centimeter rod is attached at one end to a point A rotating counterclockwise on a wheel of radius 2 cm. The other end B is free to move back and forth along a horizontal bar that goes through the center of the wheel. At time t=0 the rod is situated as in the diagram at the left below. The wheel rotates counterclockwise at 1.5 rev/sec. At some point, the rod will be tangent to the circle as shown in the third picture. B A B at some instant, the piston will be tangent to the circle (a) Express the x and y coordinates of point A as functions of t: x= 2 cos(3πt) and y= 2 sin(3πt) (b) Write a formula for the slope of the tangent line to the circle at the point A at time t seconds: -cot (3πt) (c) Express the x-coordinate of the right end of the rod at point B as a function of t: 2 cos(3πt) +41/1 (d) Express the slope of the rod…arrow_forward4.
