World Military Expenditure The following chart shows total military and arms trade expenditure from 2011–2020 (t = 1 represents 2011).
†A bar graph titled "World military expenditure" has a horizontal t-axis labeled "Year since 2010" and a vertical axis labeled "$ (billions)". The bar graph has 10 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.
1: 1,800 billion dollars
2: 1,775 billion dollars
3: 1,750 billion dollars
4: 1,730 billion dollars
5: 1,760 billion dollars
6: 1,760 billion dollars
7: 1,850 billion dollars
8: 1,900 billion dollars
9: 1,950 billion dollars
10: 1,980 billion dollars
(a)
If you want to model the expenditure figures with a function of the form
f(t) = at2 + bt + c,
would you expect the coefficient a to be positive or negative? Why? HINT [See "Features of a Parabola" in this section.]
We would expect the coefficient to be positive because the curve is concave up.
We would expect the coefficient to be negative because the…
Cell Phones Using the CTIA Wireless Survey for1985–2009, the number of U.S. cell phone subscribers (in millions) can be modeled byy = 0.632x2 - 2.651x + 1.209where x is the number of years after 1985.a. Graphically find when the number of U.S.subscribers was 301,617,000.b. When does the model estimate that the number ofU.S. subscribers would reach 359,515,000?c. What does the answer to (b) tell about this model?
U.S. Population The number of White non-Hispanicindividuals in the U.S. civilian non-institutional population 16 years and older was 153.1 million in 2000and is projected to be 169.4 million in 2050.(Source: U.S. Census Bureau)a. Find the average annual rate of change in population during the period 2000–2050, with the appropriate units.b. Use the slope from part (a) and the population in2000 to write the equation of the line associatedwith 2000 and 2050.c. What does this model project the population to bein 2020?

- Among all deaths from a particular disease, the percentage that is smoking related (21–39 cigarettes per day) is a function of the disease’s incidence ratio. The incidence ratio describes the number of times more likely smokers are than nonsmokers to die from the disease. The following table shows the incidence ratios for heart disease and lung cancer for two age groups. For example, the incidence ratio of 9 in the given table means that smokers between the ages of 65 and 74 are 9 times more likely than nonsmokers in the same age group to die from lung cancer. The rational function P(x) = 100(x - 1)/x, models the percentage of smoking-related deaths among all deaths from a disease, P(x), in terms of the disease’s incidence ratio, x. The graph of the rational function is shown. Use this function to solve, What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph? Describe what this means about the percentage of deaths caused by smoking with increasing incidence ratios.arrow_forwardAmong all deaths from a particular disease, the percentage that is smoking related (21–39 cigarettes per day) is a function of the disease’s incidence ratio.
