    a) Determine an equation for the population with respect to the number of years after 2014, assuming that the population increases at a constant rate.

    Solution

    The function will be of the form

    p=a r n, where a is the initial population, r is the rate of increase, n is the time in years and

    p is the population.

    p=584,513 (1.0002) n

    b) Find the optimum price for the chips to maximize the profit for the company.

    Solution

    This will be the vertex of the function. We will need to complete the square. P=-54x2+15x+200

    P=-54 (x2-12x) + 200

    P=-54 (x2-12x+36-36) + 200

    P=-54 (x-6) 2+45+200

    P=-54 (x-6)

    2+245

    The optimum price is $6 per bag.
