Write an equation for expense (blue line) I would really appreciate if someone helped me I'm not understanding this.

 y = 0.0005x+1

This is the same as saying y = (1/2000)x + 1

Explanation:

The blue line goes through (0,1) and (2000,2)

The slope is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-1)/(2000-0)

m = 1/2000

This says that each time we move up 1, we move to the right 2000 units.

Think of it as slope = rise/run = 1/2000

The slope 1/2000 means that each time you make 2000 soccer balls, it will cost you $1000. Keep in mind that y is in thousands (eg: y = 1 means 1000). This further implies that the marginal cost is ($1000)/2000 = $0.50 = 50 cents. The marginal cost is the cost to make one extra unit.

The fraction 1/2000 converts to the decimal form 0.0005 after using a calculator. So m = 0.0005 is the decimal form of the slope.

The y intercept of the blue line is b = 1 as this is the location where the blue line crosses the vertical y axis. The y intercept represents the fixed costs needed to set up production, for example: buying the machinery needed is a fixed cost.

Since m = 0.0005 and b = 1, we go from y = mx+b to y = 0.0005x+1

We could say y = (1/2000)x + 1, though I think it's probably easier to use a decimal in this case.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
