- On the first part of a 350-kilometer trip, a salesperson travels 2 hours and 15 minutes at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The salesperson needs to arrive at the destination in another hour and 20 minutes. Find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip.arrow_forwardDoes Table 2 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardA car was valued at 38,000 in the year 2007.

- Graph x216y24=1.arrow_forwardWhat is the bottom equation for this, please ?arrow_forwardAccording to the data from public health units, Canada has begun its largest mass vaccination program in history. On the 10th day from the start of the vaccination program, there were 706 thousand vaccination doses administered. On the 17th day, there were 937 thousand vaccination doses administered. Assume that the number of vaccination doses administered keeps growing in a linear manner. a) What is the equation that gives the number of vaccination doses administered in Canada in terms of the number of days since the vaccination program started? b) What is the estimated number of vaccination doses administered by the 30th day since the vaccination program started? (Use the equation from part (a)) c) How many days since the beginning of the vaccination program will take to administer 1696 thousand vaccination doses in Canada? (Use the equation from part (a))arrow_forward
- The construction industry was one of the hardest-hit by the recession of 2008, but housing starts began increasing again in 2010. The number of housing starts in thousands, during this time period can be modeled by three equations as follows, where x is the number of years after 2002. For 2002-2006, y = 1.1x2 +0.56x + 101 For 2007-2009, y = - 31.6x + 319 For 2010-2019, y = 6.23x-24.7 a. Create a piecewise-defined function that represents the number of housing units, in thousands, from 2002-2019, with x equal to the number of years after 2002. Valboi 1.1x2 + 0.56x + 101 if sxs H(x) = -31.6x +319 6.23x - 24.7 iarrow_forwardWhat'sarrow_forwardWhen estimating wage wage equations, we expect that young, inexperienced workers will have relatively low wages and that with additional experience their wages will increase, but then begin to decrease after middle age, as the worker nears retirement. This life- cycle pattern of wages can be captured by introducing experience and experience squared to explain the level of wages. If we also include years of education, we have the equation: WAGE = 3, + BEDUC + BErper + B,Erper² +e (a) What is the marginal effect of experience on wages? (b) What signs do you expect for each of the coefficients 82, 83, 84? Why? (c) After how many years of experience do wages start to decline? (Express your answer in terms of B's) (d) The result from estimating the equation using 1000 observations are given in the table belove. Find the 95% interval estimates for: (d-i) The marginal effect of education on wages (d-ii) The marginal effect of experience on wages for a given experience level (let's say…arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
