PLEASE HELP
Statistical models predict that the price (in dollars) of a 500 GB hard drive will change according to the function p(t) = 600 − 2t^2, where t is the month. Which expression gives the number of months t (passed since January 1) in terms of the price p?
a)200-p
b)300-0.5p
c)\sqrt(300-p)
d)\sqrt(300-0.5p)

Respuesta :

the answer is b. i think.

The number of months t in terms of the price p exists,

[tex]$t(p)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(600-p)}[/tex].

Which expression gives the number of months t (passed since January 1) in terms of the price p?

Here, the expression that gives p in terms of t is,

[tex]$p(t)=600-2 t^{2} \ldots(1) $[/tex]

Where p denotes the price and t denotes the number of months t

(passed since January 1).

From equation (1),

[tex]${data-answer}amp;p=600-2 t^{2} \\[/tex]

[tex]${data-answer}amp;2 t^{2}=600-p \\[/tex]

[tex]${data-answer}amp;t^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(600-p) \\[/tex]

[tex]${data-answer}amp;t=\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(600-p)}[/tex]

But, the number of months cannot be negative,

[tex]$\Longrightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(600-p)}$[/tex]

Since, in this expression, t exists in the term of p

Hence, the necessary expression that gives the number of months t in terms of the price p exists,

[tex]$t(p)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(600-p)}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is option c)\sqrt(300-p).
