The total sales (in billions of dollars) for CocaCola Enterprises from 2000 through 2007 are listed below. (Source: Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc.) $$\begin{array}{llll} 2000 & 14.750 & 2004 & 18.185 \\ 2001 & 15.700 & 2005 & 18.706 \\ 2002 & 16.899 & 2006 & 19.804 \\ 2003 & 17.330 & 2007 & 20.936 \end{array}$$ (a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. Let \(y\) represent the total revenue (in billions of dollars) and let \(t=0\) represent 2000 . (b) Use a straightedge to sketch the best-fitting line through the points and find an equation of the line. (c) Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find the least squares regression line that fits the data. (d) Compare the linear model you found in part (b) with the linear model given by the graphing utility in part (c). (e) Use the models from parts (b) and (c) to estimate the sales of Coca-Cola Enterprises in 2008 . (f) Use your school's library, the Internet, or some other reference source to analyze the accuracy of the estimate in part (e).
State sales tax is based on retail price. An item that sells for $$\$ 189.99$$ has a sales tax of $$\$ 11.40 .$$ Find a mathematical model that gives the amount of sales tax \(y\) in terms of the retail price \(x .\) Use the model to find the sales tax on a \(\$ 639.99\) purchase.
Use the given value of \(k\) to complete the table for the inverse variation model $$y=\frac{k}{x^{2}}$$ Plot the points on a rectangular coordinate system. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \\ \hline y=\frac{k}{x^{2}} & & & & & \\ \hline \end{array}$$ $$ k=20 $$
Use the functions given by \(f(x)=x+4\) and \(g(x)=2 x-5\) to find the specified function. $$ f^{-1} \circ g^{-1} $$
An \(r\) -value of a set of data, also called a _____ _____ ,gives a measure of how well a model fits a set of data.
