- After eating at a restaurant, it is customary to leave a tip t for the server for at least 15% of the cost of the meal c. Write a model to represent the amount of the tip based on the cost of the meal.arrow_forwardThe line graphs in Figure show the percentages of marriages ending in divorce based on the wife’s age at marriage.Here are two mathematical models that approximate the data displayed by the line graphs:In each model, the variable n is the number of years after marriage and the variable d is the percentage of marriages ending in divorce.a. Use the appropriate formula to determine the percentage of marriagesending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time ofmarriage.b. Use the appropriate line graph in Figure to determine the percentageof marriages ending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time of marriage.c. Does the value given by the mathematical model underestimate or overestimate the actual percentage of marriages ending in divorce after10 years as shown by the graph? By how much?arrow_forwardDrag the three points so they simultaneously follow both a LINEAR pattern and an EXPONENTIAL patternarrow_forward
- The number of parts produced by three different machines are shown in the tables. Only one of the machines produces parts at a constant rate. Write an equation that can be used to represent y, the number of parts produced in x minutes, for that machine.arrow_forwardThe maximum recommended heart rate M for adults is the difference of 220 and the person’s age a. Write a model to represent an adult’s maximum recommended heart rate in terms of age.arrow_forwardFor Exercise, use a variation model to solve for the unknown value. The strength of a wooden beam varies jointly as the width of the beam and the square of the thickness of the beam, and inversely as the length of the beam. A beam that is 48 in. long, 6 in. wide, and 2 in. thick can support a load of 417 lb. Find the maximum load that can be safely supported by a board that is 12 in. wide, 72 in. long, and 4 in. thick. L = length T = thickness W = widtharrow_forward
- 3. Determine if the data is linear or exponential and find a function that models the data: -4 -2 0. 2 4 y 0.625 2.5 10 40 160arrow_forwardIs the following table created with an exponential or a linear equation? Y 1 10 13 3 16 4 19arrow_forward1a. Make a scatter plot of the table provided in the image. B. Write a linear/exponential equation that models this table provided in the image. C. Explain what the slope/multiplier means in the context of the problem. E. Use your model to predict when there will be 100 new cases (I have already done question 1a and have included it in my images. I mainly need help with questions C, D, and E)arrow_forward
- dout. minutes. Write an equation relating o the number of pages p typed. type 10 pages at this rate? 5/2 3.arrow_forwardPart b wanted the time not distancearrow_forward3. Write an equation for each translation of y = |x|. %3D 15.5 units down y - 15.5 = | x | y = | x | + 15.5 y = | x | – 15.5 y = | -15.5 x |arrow_forward
