- A certain automobile sold for \($1,200\) in \(1980\), after which it began to be considered a collector’s item. In \(1994\), the same automobile sold at auction for \($5,750\). Write a linear function that models the value of the automobile in terms of the number of years since \(1980\). Use it to estimate the value of the automobile in the year \(2000\).
- A specialized industrial robot was purchased new for \($62,400\). It has a lifespan of \(12\) years, after which it will be considered worthless. Write a linear function that models the value of the robot. Use the function to determine its value after \(8\) years of operation.
- In \(1950\), the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the population of Detroit, MI to be \(1.8\) million people. In \(1990\), the population was estimated to have decreased to \(1\) million. Write a linear function that gives the population of Detroit in millions of people, in terms of years since \(1950\). Use the function to estimate the year in which the population decreased to \(700,000\) people.
- Online sales of a particular product are related to the number of clicks on its advertisement. It was found that \(100\) clicks in a week result in \($112\) of online sales, and that \(500\) clicks result in \($160\) of online sales. Write a linear function that models the online sales of the product based on the number of clicks on its advertisement. How many clicks are needed to result in \($250\) of weekly online sales from this product?
- The cost in dollars of producing n bicycles is given by the formula \(C (n) = 80n + 3,380\). If each bicycle can be sold for \($132\), write a function that gives the profit generated by producing and selling \(n\) bicycles. Use the formula to determine the number of bicycles that must be produced and sold to profit at least \($10,000\).
- Determine the breakeven point from the previous exercise.
