in 1993, the sports league introduced a salary cap that limits the amount of money spent on players' salaries. the quadratic model y =0.2313x2 +2.600x + 35.17
approximates this cap in millions of dollars for the years 1993-2013, where x = 0 represents 1993, x = 1 represents 1994, and so on. complete parts a and b.

a. The approximated salary cap in 2009 is $136.0 millions

b. The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The quadratic model of the salary cap in million is

 y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

- The approximation of this cap in millions of dollars for the years

  1993-2013 where x = 0 represents 1993, x = 1 represents 1994,

  and so on

a. Lets calculate the approximated sports league salary cap in 2009

∵ x at 2009 = 2009 - 1993 = 16

∵ y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

∴ y = 0.2313 (16)² + 2.600 (16) + 35.17

∴ y = 135.98 ≅ 136.0 millions

* The approximated salary cap in 2009 is $136.0 millions

b. Lets calculate in what year did the salary cap reach 65 million dollars

∵ y = 65

∵ y = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

∴ 65 = 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x + 35.17

- Subtract 65 from both sides

∴ 0.2313 x² + 2.600 x - 29.83 = 0

- Use the calculator to find the value of x by solving the quadratic

 equation

∴ x = 7.05 and x = -18.29 (we will reject this value)

∴ x ≅ 7 years

∴ The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in (1993 + 7) = 2000

* The salary cap reached 65 million dollars in 2000

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is you spend $55.78 more in a brand store that buy ing in a normal store.

step-by-step explanation:

brand = spend   $ 135.85 total

store = spend $80.07 total
