Answer:
Question 1: Budget Surplus Increase = [tex]-12x^{2} -200x[/tex]
Question 2: Budget surplus in 2011 = $[tex]3.04*10^{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
Budget surplus in 2010 = [tex]-3x^{2} + 400x[/tex]
Budget surplus in 2011 = [tex]-15x^{2} + 200x[/tex]
Increase in buget surplus = Budget surplus in 2011 - Budget surplus in 2010
[tex]-15x^{2} + 200x - (-3x^{2} + 400x)\\\\= -15x^{2} + 200x + 3x^{2} - 400x\\\\= -12x^{2} -200x[/tex]
Question 2
2011 yearly tax revenue, x = $450,000
Budget surplus in 2011 =
[tex]-15x^{2} + 200x = -15(450000)^{2} + 200(450000)\\\\= -15(2.025*10^{11}) + 9*10^{7}\\ \\= (-15*2.025*10000*10^{7}) + (9*10^{7})\\ \\= -303750*10^{7} + 9*10^{7} = (-303750+9)*10^{7}\\ \\= -303741*10^{7} = -3.03741*10^{5}*10^{7}\\\\= -3.03741*10^{12}[/tex]
Budget surplus in 2011 ≅ $[tex]-3.04*10^{12}[/tex]
