This is the equation that was used to arrive at most of the graphs in part A of the chapter, where x is expressed in thousands but plugged into the equation as its full value; that is, consumption of 200 in a graph represents x 5 200,000. Verify the numbers in Graphs 17.1 and 17.3. (Note that the numbers in the graphs are rounded.)
