A newspaper started an online version of its paper 14 years ago. In a recent presentation to stockholders, the lead marketing executive states that the revenues for online ads have more than doubled that of the revenues for printed ads since starting the online version of the paper. Use the graph below to justify the lead executive’s statement and to determine the approximate year that the two ad revenues were equal.

Respuesta :

It is to be noted that at the seven and half year, is when the revenue of both ads became equal. This is a graph problem. See the explanation below.

What is the explanation for the above answer?

Step 1:

Note that the amount of money earned by routine company activities is known as revenue, which is calculated by dividing the average sales price by the number of units sold.

Step 2:

Note that the graph is to be used to justify the statement by the lead executive.

Step 3

From the graph, we know that the revenue in the 10th year for printed ads was $ 2,000,000 and $ 3,000,000 for online ads. Represented on as coordinates, that would be (0,3); (10, 2).

Thus, we can create an equation that states:

(y-2) = [(3-2)/(0-10)] * (x - 10)

⇒ y - 2

= [-1/10] * [x - 10]

Hence,

10y - 20 = - x + 10

10 y + x = 30 ........Lets call this equation A

We can also state that:

Online revenue coordinates on the graph are (0,0,) (10, 3)

Thus,

(y-0) =

[(3-0)/(10-0)] (x -0)

⇒ y = [3x/10]  [10y - 3x] = 0.........Lets make this equation B

For printed Ad Revenue:

Year 12= x

10y + 12 = 30

Y = 18/10

y = 1.8

For online Ad revenue

Year = 12 = x

10y = 36

Y = 36/10

y = 3.6

From the above, it is clear that in year 10, the online ad revenue got doubled as same as that of revenue from printed ads.

In order to get the year in which the revenue were equal, we solve both equations simultaneously:

+ 10y + x = 30

±  10y ≠ 3x = 3

4x = 30

x thus, = 30/4

= 7.5

Thus, it is correct to state that both revenue's became equal by the mid of the 7th year going to the eight year.
