"A city official is modeling the demand for bus transportation as a function (,) of two variables: = price of a daily bus ticket in $, = price of parking per day in a downtown garage in $.
She hypothesizes that demand varies inversely as and directly as 100^2.
Answer the following questions considering that with a daily bus ticket cost of $0.50 and parking price of $6 per day, there are 7,200 bus riders using the bus transportation system.
1. Write the mathematical function describing the demand for bus transportation:
(,) = _"
I'm not sure how to set this up. Also not clear on what "the demand varies inversely as x and directly as 100y^2" means in this context.

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?
