Question 1182698


(a) Write an explicit formula for a linear model that describes this growth.

{{{P(t)= 150t+10000}}}

(b) If this trend continues, how many books will the library contain in a year?

{{{t=1year=12months}}}
{{{P(t)= 150*12+10000}}}
{{{P(t)= 11800}}}
__{{{11800}}}___books will the library contain in a year


(c) How long will it be before the library contains 18,000 books? Round your answer to the nearest month.
given {{{P(t)=18000}}}
{{{18000= 150t+10000}}}
{{{18000-10000= 150t}}}
{{{8000= 150t}}}
{{{t=8000/150}}}
{{{t=160/3}}}
{{{t=53 }}}
__{{{53}}}___months
