Jogging is one of the few sports that has been consistently increasing over the past few years. the number of people jogging​ (in millions) from the years 2000 to 2009 is given by the equation y equals x plus 26y=x+26​, where x is the number of years after 2000.

Respuesta :

Given that Jogging is one of the few sports that has been consistently increasing over the past few years and that the number of people jogging​ (in millions) from the years 2000 to 2009 is given by the equation y=x+26​, where x is the number of years after 2000.

Part A

Use this equation or a graph of it to complete the ordered pair (8, ).

Given the equation: y = x + 26, when x = 8, then y = 8 + 26 = 34

Therefore, the complete ordered pair is (8, 34)



Part B

Write a sentence explaining the meaning of the answer to part a.

Given that x is the number of years after 2000, this means that x = 8 refers to 2008.

Therefore, the sentence describing the meaning of the answer to part a is 'The number of people jugging in the year 2008 equals 34 million.'



Part C

If this trend continues, how many joggers will there be in 2017?

For year 2017, x = 17 and the number of joggers in million is given by y = 17 + 26 = 43

Therefore, the number of joggers in 2017 is 43 million.
