The function $R(x)$ billion dollars models revenue from new-car sales for franchised new-car dealerships in the United States when $x$ million dollars are spent on associated advertising expenditures, data from $1.2 \le x \le 6.5$. (a) Use $R(2.5) = 147$ and $R'(2.5) = 36$ to write the function for a linearization model with respect to $x$ at $c = 2.5$, where $x$ million dollars are spent on associated advertising expenditures, with data from $1.2 \le x \le 6.5$. $R(x) = $ ______ billion dollars (b) Use the linearization model to estimate the revenue when $1.6$ million is spent on advertising. $ ______ billion (c) Use the linearization model to estimate the revenue when $2$ million is spent on advertising. $ ______ billion

The paired data below consist of the costs of advertising (in thousands of dollars) and the number of products sold (in thousands): Cost | 9 2 3 4 2 5 9 10 Number | 85 52 55 68 67 86 83 73 Find the regression equation relating number of items sold to advertising cost. y = .7077x + 55.8 y = 2.79x + 55.8 0.7077

Suppose the linear regression line y = 2.1x + 130 predicts sales based on the money spent on advertising. If x represents the dollars spent in advertising, and y represents the company sales in dollars, about how much can the company expect in sales if it spends $250 in advertising?
