Excited about the success of celebrity stamps, post office officials were rumored to have put forth a plan to institute two new types of
thermometers. On these new scales, E represents degrees Elvis and °M represents degrees Madonna. If it is known that 115°E = 50°M,
365°E = 150°M, and degrees Elvis is linearly related to degrees Madonna, write an equation expressing E in terms of M.
E =
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Do not include the degree symbol in your answer. Do not factor.)
0. In 2000, 53% of the residents in a large city regularly used newspapers for getting news and this has decreased at an average rate of
approximately 1.1% per year since then. Find a linear function in slope-intercept form that models this description. The function should
model the percentage of residents, P(x), who regularly used the news outlet x years after 2000.
P(x) =
