MODELING REAL LIFE During a seven-year period, the average housing prices (in thousands of dollars) for a year in
Miami M and Gainesville
G are modeled by the equations
M=1.7-6.5 +212 and
G=1.6 -14t+165,
where t = 1 represents the first year.
a. Write a polynomial that represents the difference in housing prices.
Polynomial:
b. What is the difference in housing prices in the fifth year?
