Question

Sales of a certain MP3 players are approximated by the relationship S(x) = 4740x + 31,000(0 x 5) where S(x) denotes the number of MP3 players sold in year x (x = 0 corresponds to the year 2000). Find the number of MP3 players expected to be sold in 2002.

Answer 1

40480 MP3 players expected to be sold in 2002.

Explanation:

Sales of a certain MP3 players are approximated by the relationship;

`S(x)=4740x+ 31000` (0≤x≤5)

(x = 0 corresponds to the year 2000)

That means 2002 corresponds to x = 2

Now substituting x = 2 in the expression.

`S(x)=4740(2)+ 31000`

=
`9480+31000`

= 40480.

Hence, 40480 MP3 players expected to be sold in 2002.
