Question

Adidas is preparing to release a new line of soccer cleats. They expect the number of daily sales (in thousands of units) to be given by S(t)=59(3t+1)¹/². Find the number of units sold on day 1.

Answer 1

The number of units sold on day 1 is 118 thousand units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of units sold on day 1, we need to substitute t = 1 into the expression S(t) = 59(3t + 1)^(1/2).

When t = 1, we have:

S(1) = 59(3(1) + 1)^(1/2)

S(1) = 59(4)^(1/2)

S(1) = 59(2)

S(1) = 118

Therefore, the number of units sold on day 1 is 118 thousand units.
