- In 2015, there were 14,100 students at college A, with a projected enrollment increase of 1500 students per year. In the same year, there were 41,700 students at college B, with a projected enrollment decline of 800 students per year. a. Let x represent the number of years after 2015. Write, but do not solve, an equation that can be used to find how many years after 2015 the colleges will have the same enrollment. b. The following table is based on your equation in part (a). Y represents one side of the equation and Y2 represents the other side of the equation. Use the table to answer these questions: In which year will the colleges have the same enrollment? What will be the enrollment in each college at that time?

- A pizza restaurant has two phone lines for taking delivery orders. An average of 40 people per hour try to call the restaurant, and the average length of a phone call is 1 minute. If a person attempts to call when both lines are busy, he/she hangs up and is lost to the system. Assume that the time between people attempting to call and service times are exponential. a. What fraction of the time will both lines be free? What fraction of the time will both lines be busy? What fraction of the time will exactly one line be free? b. On the average, how many lines will be busy? c. On the average, how many callers will hang up each hour?arrow_forwardWhat is y=Mx+9arrow_forwardThe population dynamics of many fish are characterized by extremely high fertility rates among adults and very low survival rates among the young.
