Question

The demand for a given product demand is formulated by the linear trend equation: y= 50 – 6t.

Based on this information, when would be the first period that there is NO demand at all for this product?

Answer 1

t >=
`(25)/(3)` or 8.33333333333

Explanation:

We need to set up an inequality where demand is less than or equal to 0. The inequality looks like this:

50 - 6t <= 0

50 <= 6t

t >=
`(25)/(3)` or 8.33333333333
