10. The number of people, N, employed in a chain of cafes is related to the number of cafes, n, by the equation:
N= 10n + 120
(a) Illustrate this relation by plotting a graph of N against n for 0 ≤ n ≤ 20.
(b) Hence, or otherwise, calculate the number of
(i) employees when the company has 14 cafes;
(ii) cafes when the company employs 190 people.
(c) State the values of the slope and intercept of the graph and give an interpretation.

Answer:

b.

i. N= 10n+120

    = 10*14+120

    = 260

ii. N = 10n+120

<=> 190=10n+120

<=> n=7

Step-by-step explanation:

MrRoyalidn

The given equation N= 10n + 120 is an illustration of a linear equation. The following are the results:

  • There are 260 employees when the number of cafes is 14
  • There are 7 cafes when the number of employees is 190
  • The slope of the graph is 10 and the intercept is 120

Given

[tex]N = 10n + 120[/tex]

A. The graph

See attachment for the graph of [tex]N = 10n + 120[/tex] where:

[tex]n \to[/tex] x-axis

[tex]N \to[/tex] y-axis

B. i) Employees, when there are 14 cafés.

This means that n= 14

So, we have:

[tex]N = 10n + 120[/tex]

[tex]N = 10 \times 14 + 120[/tex]

[tex]N = 140 + 120[/tex]

[tex]N = 260[/tex]

Hence, there are 260 employees

B ii) Cafés, when there are 190 employees

This means that N = 190

So, we have:

[tex]N = 10n + 120[/tex]

[tex]190 =10n + 120[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]10n = 190 - 120[/tex]

[tex]10n = 70[/tex]

Divide by 10

[tex]n = 7[/tex]

Hence, there are 7 cafés

C. The slope and the intercept.

A linear equation is represented as:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where:

[tex]m \to[/tex] slope

[tex]b \to[/tex] y-intercept

Given that:

[tex]N = 10n + 120[/tex]

By comparing both equations

[tex]m = 10[/tex]

[tex]b = 120[/tex]

The slope implies that, the rate of employee per unit café is 10

The intercept of the graph implies that the initial number of employee is 120
