(a) Since the sell in 1991 is $100,000
It growth in 5000% in next five year
Then in 1996 Sell will be = 100,000 * 5000% = $5000,000
(b) when x = 1 (1991) then y = $100,000
When x = 2 (1995), then y = $ 5000,000
Then in terms of ordered pair (1, 100,000) and (2, 5000,000).
(c) the function is linear then
Y = ax + b
When x = 1, y = 100,000
 a + b = 100,000..........................(1)
when x = 2, y =5000,000
 2a + b = 5000,000
Then a = 4900,000
And b = - 4800,000 (substituting it in (1) )

Then linear function
Y = 4900,000 x - 4800,000
(d) If it reach one billion
1,000,000,000 = 100,000*(5000%)^t
=>1,000,000,000/100,000 = (50)^t
Taking logrithm
=> t = log(10,000)/log(50) = 4/log(50 ) = 2.354 * 5 year = 11.77 year i.e in 2003
e. the actual sales expected $1 billion in 2003. If growth rate is linear then it is not possible to achieve this target because $1 billion becomes
1,000,000,000 = 100,000*5000*t/100
 T = 2000 years
after 2000*5 year according to linear rate.

1985 101.73 113.28
1995 101.11 113.28

According to least square method, the equation of the line is given by
y = -0.145x + 114.2

(Using MS-Excel)

(b)

According to the data, the equation of the least square line is
y = -0.449x + 151.7

(c) w omen least square line catch the men trend line,
When both equations are equal.
-0.449x + 151.7 = -0.145x + 114.2
=> -0.304x = -37.5
=> x = 123.35 years both line will meet. I don't believe it because men are more efficient rather than women.
D. by using MS-EXCEL we can ...
