Question 514422
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The process you need to use is to say that the value, *[tex \Large v], is equal to the age, *[tex \Large a], times the rating, *[tex \Large r], times a constant of proportionality, *[tex \Large k].


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ v\ =\ kar]


then plug in the values for *[tex \Large v], *[tex \Large a], and *[tex \Large r] and calculate the value for *[tex \Large k].  Then you can calculate the value for any age and rating.


The only thing that is a little iffy is that you don't say when this problem was written.  If this is a 2002 problem, the the age of a 2001 wine is one year.  On the other hand, if this is a 2011 problem, a 2001 wine is 10 years old.  Whatever it is, you get different values of *[tex \Large k].

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
