Okay so I was given this information (I'll write it out in chart form):
Date Public Private
2000 11,753 3560
2013 14,730 4560
It says model public college enrollment as a function of private college enrollment.
So I got the first part by finding the rate of change in each and dividing it, making it C(p) = 2.98p
That part is correct...but (looking at the answer) I don't understand how they got the rest of it which is C(p) = 2.98p + 1154.9
So I'm lost as to how they got the 1154.9.......could anyone explain to me? Thank you!
