The population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentage of the total population is approximated by the function f(t) = 10.72(0.9t + 10)^0.3 (0 <= t < = 20)

where t is measured in years, with t=0 corresponding to the year 2000.

Required:
a. At what rate was the percentage of Americans age 55 and older changing at the beginning of 2002?
b. At what rate will the percentage of Americans age 55 and older be changing in 2017?
c. What will be the percentage of the population of Americans age 55 and older in 2017?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A)

About 0.51% per year.

Part B)

About 0.30% per year.

Part C)

About 28.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of Americans age 55 and older as a percentange of the total population is approximated by the function:

[tex]f(t) = 10.72(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{ where } 0 \leq t \leq 20[/tex]

Where t is measured in years with t = 0 being the year 2000.

Part A)

Recall that the rate of change of a function at a point is given by its derivative. Thus, find the derivative of our function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ 10.72\left(0.9t+10\right)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

Rewrite:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\frac{d}{dt} \left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right][/tex]

We can use the chain rule. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [u(v(x))] = u'(v(x)) \cdot v'(x)[/tex]

Let:

[tex]\displaystyle u(t) = t^{0.3}\text{ and } v(t) = 0.9t+10 \text{ (so } u(v(t)) = (0.9t+10)^{0.3}\text{)}[/tex]

Then from the Power Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle u'(t) = 0.3t^{-0.7}\text{ and } v'(t) = 0.9[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[(0.9t+10)^{0.3}\right]= 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 10.72\left( 0.3(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}\cdot 0.9 \right)[/tex]

And simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(t) = 2.8944(0.9t+10)^{-0.7}[/tex]

For 2002, t = 2. Then the rate at which the percentage is changing will be:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(2) = 2.8944(0.9(2)+10)^{-0.7} = 0.5143...\approx 0.51[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percentage is increasing by about 0.51% per year.

Part B)

Evaluate f'(t) when t = 17. This yields:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(17) = 2.8944(0.9(17)+10)^{-0.7} =0.3015...\approx 0.30[/tex]

Contextually, this means the percetange is increasing by about 0.30% per year.

Part C)

For this question, we will simply use the original function since it outputs the percentage of the American population 55 and older. Thus, evaluate f(t) when t = 17:

[tex]\displaystyle f(17) = 10.72(0.9(17)+10)^{0.3}=28.2573...\approx 28.26[/tex]

So, about 28.26% of the American population in 2017 are age 55 and older.

Answers

Answer:

9 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x − 4)2 = 4x + 14

=> 10x - 40 = 4x + 14

=> 6x = 54

=> x = 9

Therefore, 9 is the answer.

Hoped this helped.

The value of the x after solving the equation 5 (x - 4) 2 = 4x + 14 is x = 9.

What are Linear Equations?

Linear equations are equation involving one or more expressions including variables and constants and the variables are having no exponents or the exponent of the variable is 1.

Given linear equation,

5 (x - 4) 2 = 4x + 14

5 × 2 (x - 4) = 4x + 14

10 (x - 4) = 4x + 14

By distributive property, p (q + r) = p q + p r

10x - (10 × 4) = 4x + 14

10x - 40 = 4x + 14

10x - 4x = 14 + 40

6x = 54

x = 54 / 6

x = 9

Hence the value of x is 9.

Kripa’s father is 35 years younger than her grandfather, and 40 years older than her. If the sum of the ages of the three is 160 years, let’s find her grandfather’s age?

Answers

Answer:

90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

if Kripa's age = x

Father's age = x + 40

Grandfather's age = (x + 40) + 35 = x + 75 (father is 35 years younger than grandfather i.e. grandfather is 35 years older than father)

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years

Answer:

90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

Grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years

Gemma and Leah are both jewelry makers, Gemma made 106 beaded necklaces. Leah
made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.
Each necklace they make has exactly 104 beads on it. How many beads did both
Jewelers use altogether while making their necklaces? How many necklaces did Gemma and Leah each make

Answers

Answer:

Gemma made $34 more than Leah.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gemma made number of beaded necklaces = 106

Leah made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.

Leah made number of beaded necklaces  = 106 + 39 = 145

a. There are 104 beads on each necklace.

The total number of beads used altogether

= (106 × 104) + (145 × 104)

= 11,024 + 15,080

= 26,104

b. Gemma sold her 106 necklaces for = $14

Total price of her necklaces = 106 × 14

                                              = $1,484

Leah sold her 145 necklaces for = $10

Total price of her necklaces = 145 × 10

                                              = $1,450

Difference in Gemma and Leah's amount = 1484 - 1450 = $34.00

Therefore, Gemma made $34.00 more money than Leah.

You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 16 centimeters every 7 minutes
and you record the data point of (21,y), what is the value of y? Use slope to justify your answer.



The rate of change at which the water level rises is ____ centimeters per minute. So solving the equation ____ for y gives a y-value equal to ____

Answers

Rise=16, run=7. Slope is rise/run, and therefore is 16/7. The run is considered to be the x coordinate. Since the x coordinate on the point is 21, we know it has moved 3 exact points away from the origin (21/7=3). We can use this movement of 3 exact points to determine the y coordinate as well. Since the rise (y) is 16 for every exact point on a graph, we know the graph has risen 48 units (16x3=48). So, the point ends up being (21,48). The rate of change is 16cm per 7 minutes, or 2.28cm/minute. The equation is Y=(16/7)X (no y intercept because the graph starts at the origin). The equation gives you the y value of 48 when x is equal to 21.

spinner that can land on any of 8 equal regions. If a coin is tossed and the spinner is spun,

howmany possible outcomes are there?

Answers

The number of possible outcomes for both Billy and Karen = 32 possible outcomes.

A coin has head and tail and thus;

Number of possible outcomes of a coin toss = 2

Now, for the for the spinner, since there are 8 equal regions;

The number of possible outcomes of the spinner = 8

Now, since they are playing a game;

Number of possible outcomes for Billy for one toss of coin and one time of spinning the spinner = 8 × 2 = 16

Similarly;

Number of possible outcomes for Karen for one toss of coin and one time of spinning the spinner = 8 × 2 = 16

Therefore;

Total possible outcomes for both Karen and Billy = 16 + 16 = 32 possible outcomes.

which of the following represents an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -8.5?​

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

to have a common difference of -8.5, the sequence has to consistently go down by 8.5.

in the first one, y would go up by 2 every time x goes up by 1, so its not that one.

in the second one, it does go down by 8.5 the first time but the next time it goes down by 4.25, so it's not consistent.

in the third one, each time it goes down by 8.5 so this is the answer.

the fourth one also isn't correct because the graph shows that it is going up, so you know for sure it's not that one.
