The number of subscribers to two different music streaming companies is
being monitored.
The number of subscribers, NA , in thousands, to company A is modelled by
the equation
NA = |t – 3| + 4 t≥0
where t is the time in years since monitoring began.
The number of subscribers, NB , in thousands, to company B is modelled by
the equation
NB = 8 – |2t – 6| t≥0
where t is the time in years since monitoring began.
Figure 2 shows a sketch of the graph of NA and the graph of NB over a 5-year period.
Use the equations of the models to answer parts (a), (b), (c) and (d).
(a) Find the initial difference between the number of subscribers to company A and the
number of subscribers to company B.
(2)
When t = T company A reduced its subscription prices and the number of
subscribers increased.
(b) Suggest a value for T, giving a reason for your answer.
(2)
(c) Find the range of values of t for which NA > NB giving your answer in set notation.
(5)
(d) State a limitation of the model used for company B.
