Question

From 2008 through 2012, the function Y equals 0.3 5X +9.6 can be used to approximate the movie box office in billions of dollars in region A, while the function Y equals 0.9 X +6.5 approximates the box office in region B. For both regions, X represents the number of years since 2008. Hey. If he’s trying to continue, predict the year in which the region a box office and region Vbox office will be the same. Be. Use these equations to project the box office for originate and read and beer for the year 2018

Answer 1

9.818 years after 2008

Explanation:

Y_A = 0.35 * X + 9.6

Y_B = 0.9 * X + 6.5

Equal in year X = (Y_B - Y_A) / (0.35 - 0.9) = (6.5 - 9.6) / (-0.55) = 9.818 years after 2008

X = 9.818 + 2008 = 2018.818

Y_A = 0.35 * (2018 - 2008) + 9.6 = 14.3 billion

Y_B = 0.9 * (2018 - 2008) + 6.5 = 15.3 billion
