Question

In 1995, 65.7% of all households

with TV's in the U.S. subscribed to cable TV. Between 1995
and 1999, the percent increased by about 0.6% each year.
1. Write an equation to find P of households that subbed for any year x between 1995 and 1999
2. Graph
3.find the percentage for ppl that subbed in 1999

Answer 1

1. The equation to find the percentage of households that subscribed to cable TV in any year x between 1995 and 1999 is: P = 65.7 + 0.6x

2. To graph this equation, we would need to plot the values of P on the y-axis and the values of x on the x-axis. Since we know the percentage of households that subscribed to cable TV in 1995, we can plot that point on the graph as (1995, 65.7). Then, we can use the equation to find the percentage of households that subscribed in other years between 1995 and 1999 and plot those points on the graph as well. The graph should show a line with a positive slope of 0.6, which represents the increase in the percentage of households that subscribed to cable TV each year.

3. To find the percentage of households that subscribed to cable TV in 1999, we can plug in x = 1999 into the equation and solve for P. This gives us P = 65.7 + 0.6(1999) = 76.7. This means that 76.7% of households with TV's in the U.S. subscribed to cable TV in 1999.
